Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin’
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
Ain't got no god

And what have I got
Why I’m alive anyways
What have I got
Nobody can take away

I got my hair, I got my head
I got my brains, I got my ears
I got my eyes, I got my nose
I got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, I got my chin
I got my neck, I got my boobies
I got my heart, I got my soul
I got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, I got my hands
I got my fingers, got my legs
I got my feet, I got my toes
I got my liver, got my blood

I've got life
I got headaches
And toothaches
And backaches too like you

I got life
I got my freedom

I got life

And I’m gonna keep it
Ain’t gonna lose it
No more

I’ve got life!
