Just like a birdie
  I just wanna fly free
  And own a piece of land
  Somewhere, somewhere off in the country
  Oh, oh yeah, listen
    Temperature's like a hundred degrees
  Like I got chains on me
  Blackmail and a family of three
  Been right on my destiny
  Rake it out fly way
  Cuz it's too much for the man
  Shouldn'ta gone down this way
  What happened to my master plan
  Cuz I can't figure out
  I coulda been a love child
  Shouldn'ta gone down this way
  Tell me, how did I get life?
    [1] - Life, life
  Life, life
  Life, life
  Life, life
    Oh, somebody done done me wrong (Done me wrong)
  My eyes to the ceiling all night long (All night long)
  Time is slippin' away from me (Away from me)
  And it ain't no tellin' when I get home
  I gotta get home, yeah
    Just about to see the dollar sign,
  thats close to a piece of mind
  and everything was about to be fine
  So tell me, so how'd I get life?
    [Repeat 1]
    Everything that I hoped for is gone now
  Buried in the ground
  Hopes and dreams and all those things
  I'll never see, said I'll never see
  (Somebody gave me life)
    [Repeat 1 until fade]
