Badu Erykah - My Life lyrics

rate me

I was standing downtown, downtown

Staring at the pebbles on the ground

Tryin to figure out a way up out of this town

And I know yeah, I'm not the only one

So many people out there chase the sun

If you're looking for a free ride, you better run chile

Or you sure won't get too far, oh

You'd better dance a dance

To make the rain come down

If you want to be a star, oh my life

My Life

(Brother you know)

Sho ain't been too easy

My life

(Sister you know)

The life I wanna live

My life

(Mama you know)

You're gonna go through changes

My life

No turnin back

(I'm tellin' you no)

Evernow and then I

Wanna to throw my hands up in the sky

Cause one day I know I'll be flyin high

And I know yeah I got to get down

On my knees and pray

Cause in heart I know I'll see that day

When my freedom comes along

I'm gonna run chile

Cause I know that I'll go far oh, oh

Can't let nobody kill my soul and bring me down

And they know who they are, oh my life

My Life

(Brother you know)

Sho ain't been too easy

My life

(Sister you know)

The life I wanna live

My life

(Mama you know)

You're gonna go through changes

My life

No turnin back

(I'm tellin' you no)

My Life

(Brother you know)

Sho ain't been too easy

My life

(Sister you know)

The life I wanna live

My life

(Mama you know)

You're gonna go through changes

My life

No turnin back

(I'm tellin' you no)

No turning back

Yeah oh baby

No turning back

Yeah oh

No turning back

Yeah oh baby

No turning back

Yeah

No turning back...
