Erykah Badu - My Life lyrics

I was standing down down, downtown Staring at the puddles 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 child Cause 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) Sure 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) Ever now 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 child Cause I know that I'll go far oh, oh Can't let nobody k** my soul and bring me down And they know who they are, oh my life My Life (Brother you know) Sure 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) Sure 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 No turning back Yeah oh No turning back Yeah No turning back Yeah No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back
