Badu Erykah My Life Lyrics

My Life Lyrics

I was standing downtown, downtown

 Staring at the pebbles 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 chile

 Or 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)

 Sho 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)

 

 Evernow 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 chile

 Cause I know that I'll go far oh, oh

 Can't let nobody kill my soul and bring me down

 And they know who they are, oh my life

 

 My Life

 (Brother you know)

 Sho 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)

 Sho 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 baby

 No turning back

 Yeah oh

 No turning back

 Yeah oh baby

 No turning back

 Yeah

 No turning back...
