I was born, I was born I was born, I was born on the floor X4 I was born, I was born I was born, I was born on the floor X4 I was born in 1979 I was just a look in my daddy's eye I put it into my mama's mind To push me through her thighs I was enraged With the black ops sent by the CIA I was packing things for Angola; She said "No, you're just an embryo!" When I came into this world I wanted to be premature I said "Mama, I gotta come out soon!" I kicked against the womb I was born in 1961 I was born to be a son of a gun A hot day in Dallas, my mother's water broke Contractions started, but I was late to the show I was born in 1917 When the guns of October sowed my seed I was born in 1908 When my battleship was sittin' at the dock of the bay When I came into this world I wanted to be premature I kicked against the womb I said "Mama, I wanna come out soon!" But by the time I was out It was twilight; we were shut down They cut my umbilical cord And left me there; I was born on the floor I put that thought Into my mother's mind And I put that look Into my daddy's eye I said "Mama You must create A terrible baby they all fear Who destroys the State." She delivered a bundle of joy So full of righteous hate But by delivery time They spanked my behind and it was too late When I came into this world I wanted to be premature I kicked against the womb I said "Mama, I gotta come out soon!" But by the time I was out It was twilight; we were shut down I was born, I was born I was born, I was born on the floor When I came into this world I wanted to be premature I kicked against the womb I said "Mama, I gotta come out soon!" But by the time I was out It was twilight; we were shut down They cut my umbilical cord And left me there; I was born on the floor I was born, I was born I was born, I was born on the floor I was born, I was born, I was born Well, I was born, I was born on the floor Whoa, born Well I was born on the floor
