Lyrics provided by https://www.songarea.com/ ---Life--- --K-Ci & JoJo-- [Intro] Just like a birdie, I just want to fly free (so high, so high) And own a piece of land, somewhere, somewhere off in a country Oh, oh, yeah, listen Hey [Verse 1] Temperature's like a hundred degrees Like I got chains on me Black male in a family of three Been robbed of my destiny Reckon I'll fly away 'Cause it's too much for the man Shouldn't have gone down this way What happened to my master plan? 'Cause I can't figure out I could have been a loved child Shouldn't have gone down this way [Chorus] Tell me, how did I get life? Life, life, life, life, (Talk to me) life, life, life, life (Oh, how did I get life?) Life, life, (tell me) life, life, life, life, life, life [Verse 2] Oh somebody done done me wrong Done me wrong, me wrong Now eyes to the ceiling all night long, all night long Time is slipping away from me And it ain't no telling when I'll get home I gotta get home, yeah Just about to see the dollar signs That close to a piece of mine Everything was about to be fine [Chorus] So tell me, so how did I get life? Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life Tell me, I wanna know now how Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life [Bridge] Everything (everything) I hope for (that I hope for) Is gone now (is gone now) Buried in the ground (buried in the ground) Hopes and dreams (my hopes and dreams) All those things (all those things) I'll never see (I will never never see) Said I'll never see (somebody gave me life) [Chorus] Life, life, life, life, (yes, they did) life, life, life, life Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life (OOHH! Life) Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life (say it again, say it again, yeah) Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
