Cloud Nine

歌詞

The childhood part of my life Wasn't very pretty, see... Boom, boom-boom, boom I was born and raised In the slums of the city, Boom, boom-boom, boom It was a one-room shack That slept ten other children beside me, Boom, boom-boom, boom We hardly enough food Or room to sleep Boom, boom-boom, boom It was hard times... I needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind Oooh listen... My father didn't know the meaning of work Boom, boom-boom, boom He disrespected mama, And treated us like dirt Boom, boom-boom, boom I left home seeking a job That I never did find Boom, boom-boom, boom Depressed and down-hearted And I took to cloud nine Boom, boom-boom, boom I'm doing fine Up here, on cloud nine Listen, one more time I'm doing fine Up here, on cloud nine Folks down there tell me... They say give yourself a chance,son, Don't let life pass you by, Woo, woo, woo-oo But the world, around you's, is a rat race Where only the strongest survive, It's a dog-eat-dog world And that ain't no lie, Ain't no lie Dennis: Listen it ain't even safe no more To walk the streets at night I'm doing fine On cloud nine Let me tell you 'bout cloud nine... Cloud nine You can be what you want to be Cloud Nine You ain't got no responsibility Cloud Nine And every man, every man is free Cloud nine You're a million miles from reality Reality I wanna' stay up Higher Up up, Up and away Cloud nine I wanna' say I love the life I live, And I'm going to Live, the life I love Or be on cloud nine... I, I, I, I, I, I'm ridin' high On cloud nine You're as free as a bird in flight Cloud nine There's no difference between day and night Cloud nine It's a world of love and harmony Cloud nine You're a million miles from reality Reality I wanna' stay up Higher Up up, up and away Cloud Nine You can be what you want to be, ah Cloud nine You ain't got no responsibility Cloud nine Every man in his mind is free Cloud nine You're a million miles from reality Cloud nine You can be what you want to be
