Childhood part of my life

It wasn't very pretty see

I was born and raised

In the slums of the city

It was a one room shack

That slept ten other children beside me

We hardly had enough food

Or room to sleep

It was hard times

Needed something to ease my troubled mind

Ooh listen

My father didn't know the meaning of work

He disrespected Mama

And treated us like dirt

I left home seeking a job

That I never did find

Depressed and down hearted

I took to cloud nine

I'm doing fine up here on cloud nine

Listen one more time

I'm doing fine up here on cloud nine

Folks down there tell me

They say Give yourself a chance

But the world around you is a rat race

Where only the strongest survive

It's a dog-eat-dog world

And that ain't no lie

Listen it ain't even safe

No more to walk the streets at night

You can be what you wanna be

You ain't got no responsibility

And every man every man is free

And you're a million miles from reality

I I I I I I
