Текст песни Ain't Got No - I Got Life - Live at Philharmonic Hall, New York, NY - October 1969 - Nina Simone

Ain't got no home
Ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money
Ain't got no friends

Ain't got no schooling
Got no work
No job, no money
No mind

Ain't got no father, no mother
No sisters or no brothers
No cousins or aunts or uncles
Nobody but myself

Ain't no clothes
Ain't no money
Ain't got no food
No wine, no class
No schooling, no concrete
And no garden

But there is somethin' I've got
Somethin' I've got
Somethin' I've got
Nobody can take away

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

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

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

I've got life
I've got lives
I've got headaches and toothaches
And bad times too like you

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

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

I got my arms, got my hands
Got my fingers, got my legs
Got my feet, got my toes
Got my liver
Got my blood
I've got life!
Got my freedom, uh-huh
I've got life!

I've got my soul

Said I've got my soul
Though it's been strange a little lately
My voice has been abused too much lately
But I've still go my choice
Of living, dying
Laughing, crying
Though I do them all, I gotta stay here to my job
It's done and until then
Until then
I got life!
