"AIN'T GOT NO, I GOT LIFE",

by 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 sweaters 

Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no love 

Ain't got no faith 

I ain't got no culture, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no father, ain't got no brother

Ain't got no children, ain't got no aunts

Ain't got no uncles, ain't got no love

Ain't got no mind

I ain't got no country, ain't got no schooling 

Ain't got no friends, ain't got no nothing 

Ain't got no water, ain't got no air 

Ain't got no smokes, ain't got no ticket 

Ain't got no 

Ain't got no water Ain't got no love 

Ain't got no air Ain't got no God 

Ain't got no wine Ain't got no money 

Ain't got no faith, ain't got no God 

Ain't got no love 

Then what have I got?

Why am I alive anyway? 

Yeah, hell, what have I got? 

Nobody can take away 

I got my hair, got my head 

Got my brains, got my ears 

Got my eyes, got my nose 

Got my mouth 

I got my, I got myself 

I got my arms, got my hands 

Got my fingers, got my legs 

Got my feet, got my toes 

Got my liver 

Got my blood 

I've got life 

I've got lives 

I've got headaches, and toothaches 

And bad times, too, like you 

I got my hair, got my head 

Got my brains, got my ears 

Got my eyes, got my nose 

Got my mouth 

I got my smile

 

I got my tongue, got my chin 

Got my neck, got my boobs 

Got my heart, got my soul 

Got my back 

I got my sex 

I got my arms, got my hands 

Got my fingers, got my legs 

Got my feet, got my toes 

Got my liver 

Got my blood 

I've got life 

I've got my freedom 

Ohhh, I've got life!
