Just like a birdie  (umm) I just wanna fly free. (so High so High)
 And own a piece of land  (umm) somewhere  (somewhere  somewhere  somewhere)
 somewhere  off in the country.

 (Oh  Listen)

 (Verse 1)
 Temperatures like a hundred degrees  like I got chains on me.
 Black male in a family of three  been robbed of my destiny.
 Where can I fly away  cause it's to much for the man.
 Shouldn't gone down this way  what happened to my master plan. (oh)
 Cause I can't figure out, I coulda been a love child.( love child)
 Shouldn't gone down this way,

 (Chorus)
 Tell me how did I get Life?
 Life life, (oh oh yeah, talk to me) life life, life life, (oh oh, How did I
 get Life.. tell me) life life, life life,
 Life life, life life, life life (oh oh yeah, oh yeah)

 (Bridge)
 Oh somebody done done me wrong, done me wrong , eyes to the ceiling all
 night long.
 (All night long?)
 Time is slippin away from me (away from me). And It aint no tellin when I
 get home (gotta get home yeah).


 (Verse 2)
 Just about to see the dollar signs, that close to a piece of mind
 Everything was about to be fine?

 (Chorus)
 So tell me so how did I get life?
 Life life, (oh oh oh) life life, life life, (tell me , yeah, I wanna know
 now, now) life life, life life,
 Life life, life life, life life (and you know, and you know, and you know,

 (Bridge)
 (Everything), Everything (evrything)
 I hoped for (that I hoped for )
 Is gone now, (is gone now)
 Buried in the ground (buried in the ground)
 Hopes and dreams ( My hopes and Dream)
 And all those things (and all those things)
 I never see (I will never, never, never see) I'll never see


 (Chorus)
 Sombody gave me life?.
