Nina Simone Live- Ain’t Got No...I’ve Got Life (video+lyrics)

I ain’t got no home, ain’t got no shoes

Ain’t got no money, Ain’t got no clothes

Ain’t got no perfume, Ain’t got no skirts

Ain’t got no sweaters, Ain’t got no smokes

Ain’t got no god.

 

Ain’t got no father, Ain’t got no mother

Ain’t got no sisters, i’ve got one brother

Ain’t got no land, Ain’t got no country

Ain’t got no freedom, Ain’t got no god,

Ain’t got no mind,

 

Ain’t got no earth, Ain’t got no students

Ain’t got no father, Ain’t got no mother

Ain’t got no sweets, Ain’t got no ticket

Ain’t got no token, Ain’t got no mind

Ain’t got no land.

 

But there is something i’ve got,

there is something i’ve got,

there is something i’ve got,

nobody can take it away...

 

Got my hair on 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 boobies

Got my heart, Got my soul

Got my back, I got my sex

 

I got my arms, my hands, my fingers,

my legs, my feet, my toes,

and my liver, got my blood..

 

I got life, i’ve got life’s, i’ve got headaches,

and toothaches and bad times too like you ...

 

Got my hair on 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 boobies

Got my heart, Got my soul

Got my back, I got my sex

 

I got my arms, my hands, my fingers,

my legs, my feet, my toes,

and my liver, got my blood..

 

I got life, and i’m going to keep it

as long as i want it, I got life.....

 

heart, soul

heart, soul
