I've Got Life (重获新生) (Version) - Ms. Lauryn Hill[00:00:00]
I ain't got no home ain't got no shoes[00:00:29]
Ain't got no money ain't got no class[00:00:33]
Ain't got no friends ain't got no schooling[00:00:38]
Ain't got no hurt ain't got no job[00:00:42]
Ain't got no money no place to stay[00:00:46]
Ain't got no[00:00:51]
Programmed inequity it's in the nervous system[00:00:52]
Listen watch the words how they twist 'em[00:00:53]
Two thirds of the world turned victim[00:00:55]
Subtle energy they capture and block chi[00:00:56]
The unseen violence behind the democracy[00:00:58]
Some call it hypocrisy turn freeman into property[00:01:00]
And logically justify not treatin em properly[00:01:02]
Invisible ink in the constitution[00:01:05]
Meant to preserve the institution unequal distribution[00:01:07]
Of wealth goods and services[00:01:09]
Revolvin' door no floor just anxiety and nervousness[00:01:10]
Trapped in circuses[00:01:12]
Herds of us not understandin' our purposes[00:01:15]
When appetites and psychological types[00:01:18]
Get caught in the hype it's tight from morning 'til night[00:01:20]
I'm demanding my rights[00:01:22]
Women's suffrage then black suffrage[00:01:23]
Or jim crow the kkk[00:01:25]
American terrorism[00:01:27]
Murders and beatings on television[00:01:29]
It's in the cells now you thought that was yesterday[00:01:31]
But the compression stays trauma still got most afraid[00:01:33]
Stuck in the memory fear gives birth to lethargy[00:01:35]
Sure the races of children in jeopardy[00:01:38]
History written in jealousy scribed full of heresy[00:01:40]
Full of barbarians ch-ch-check out my melody[00:01:42]
Musical therapy reprogram[00:01:44]
Africa full of coal tan[00:01:47]
Coltrane was a cold man[00:01:49]
Black genius in a cold land tryna be the whole man[00:01:50]
Heal the homeland[00:01:53]
The pastime for our own land[00:01:54]
Where a grown man can be a grown man[00:01:56]
The system has benefits but robbery is robbery[00:01:57]
You can't run from it god is a natural monopoly[00:01:59]
Divine creator suckin' monotony[00:02:02]
Bureaucracy psyche on poverty[00:02:03]
Self-esteem broken like pottery[00:02:04]
No more not me codename anomaly[00:02:06]
Cause there's just no match for the prodigy[00:02:08]
Sovereignty the god in me[00:02:10]
Walking university living cosmology[00:02:12]
Without apology[00:02:14]
I've got life[00:02:14]
I've got life[00:02:19]
I've got lyrics and music[00:02:23]
And mankind too like you you you you you[00:02:25]
OK[00:02:31]
The more you suppress life the stronger it gets[00:02:32]
With death life the longer it gets[00:02:34]
I know it s hard to admit[00:02:35]
That you follow some bullshit[00:02:37]
Swallow the wrong pill looking for mr bill[00:02:38]
Repression oppression same thing same thing[00:02:40]
Fear the shadow that s the main thing same thing[00:02:42]
Where you keep running from[00:02:44]
Every action yields an equal and opposite one[00:02:45]
Yes that means the consequence comes[00:02:47]
Feel so cumbersome back breaking labor[00:02:49]
Can't be here just for the cummerbund[00:02:51]
I was homecoming queen call me number one[00:02:53]
Yea that's another one now give the drummer some[00:02:55]
Tell every mother's son expression can be far more powerful than a hundred guns[00:02:58]
See my kalashnikov lyrics with the safety off[00:03:01]
Now dance around these niggas like baryshnikov[00:03:05]
Street sweeper my words are my keeper[00:03:07]
It's in the ether[00:03:09]
It's done let loose your tongue[00:03:12]
Gifted black and young[00:03:13]
Watch these devils run[00:03:14]
They knew a change was gonna come[00:03:16]
Sinner man looking for a place to run[00:03:18]
Hella cute then tongues enemy reduced by one[00:03:20]
2000 and 1000 flight[00:03:22]
Speak truth to power every 24 hours[00:03:24]
I've got life[00:03:27]
Imperialism is a form of jihad[00:03:49]
They killed and enslaved millions for gold bullion in the name of god[00:03:50]
The children of man called it spiritual famine[00:03:53]
Can we examine how they stole bauxite rubber labor diamonds and platinum[00:03:55]
The building blocks of society and economy broke humanity to build the colonies[00:03:58]
Using reverse psychology to keep us from knowing our quality[00:04:03]
No more human tragedy no more mis-recognition no more addiction[00:04:06]
Let s accurately diagnose our condition[00:04:09]
Listen[00:04:12]
400 years of the abuse and misuse of religion[00:04:13]
Don t give me another person s prescription[00:04:15]
I need what I need my deeds are my deeds[00:04:17]
As a man thinketh so is he mezanmi[00:04:19]
Take the land back every child woman and man back[00:04:22]
Reevaluate history expeditiously[00:04:24]
Can't live my life in apostasy[00:04:26]
Emulate the apostrophe hang with s you can rock with me[00:04:27]
I come in love and truth[00:04:30]
Look at what I went through[00:04:31]
Now it s time to acknowledge just what I give you life[00:04:32]
I've got life[00:04:36]
There's a whole lotta wrong to be righted I get excited[00:04:58]
I'm a kick this sh*t off like[00:05:00]
I'm on Manchester united & my attention is undivided[00:05:02]
So you can't divide and conquer me[00:05:04]
I'm sitting comfortably in a SUV up in my SUV taking artistic liberties[00:05:05]
Making musical history a lil' acupuncture structural integration[00:05:10]
My meditation liberating a generation & beyond that[00:05:14]
I'm taking the bomb back I'm splitting atoms for freedom[00:05:17]
America needs more freed men able to talk right[00:05:19]
Not prone to greed men it's just not what you need man[00:05:21]
Let your words and deeds line up master the mind young king man[00:05:25]
Put your signs up intelligent designs up plant your seeds[00:05:27]
Keep your dimes up cuz no man knows when the time's up[00:05:30]
It's elemental like Solomon in the temple[00:05:33]
Ark of the covenant accountable to a higher government[00:05:35]
I'm looking for love in all the wrong places[00:05:38]
Somebody tell me where them brothas went[00:05:40]
Reclaim your wealth no more giving the enemy help[00:05:42]
No sympathy for the devil let'em hang himself[00:05:44]
Get all the billion black people off these bottles[00:05:46]
Suffer while grown ppl get coddled you know the novel[00:05:48]
