Ain't got no - I got life - Nina Simone

Ain't got no home,
ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money,
ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts,
ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume,
ain't got no beer
Ain't got no man


Ain't got no mother,
ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends,
ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no love,
ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket,
ain't got no token
Ain't got no God


And What've I got? Why am I alive anyway?Yeah, what've I got? Nobody can take away, I got my hair, I got my head,I got my brains, I got my ears,I got my eyes, I got my nose,I got my mouth, I got my smile ,I got my tongue, I got my chinI got my neck, I got my boobs ,I got my heart, I got my soul,I got my back, I got my sex,I got my arms, I got my hands,I got my fingers, Got my legsI got my feet, I got my toes, I got my liver, Got my blood, I've got life , I've got my freedom, I've got the life, And I'm gonna keep it, I've got the life, And nobody's gonna take it away,I've got the life
