Childhood part of my life it wasn't very pretty[00:00:20]
You see I was born and raised in the slums of the city[00:00:23]
It was a one room shack that slept ten other children besides me[00:00:27]
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep[00:00:32]
It was hard times[00:00:35]
Needed something to ease my troubled mind[00:00:37]
Listen my father didn't know the meaning of work[00:00:42]
He disrespected mama and treated us like dirt[00:00:48]
I left home seekin' a job that I never did find[00:00:52]
Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud nine[00:00:56]
I'm doin' fine up here on cloud nine[00:01:01]
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine up here on cloud nine[00:01:06]
Folks down there tell me[00:01:13]
They say give yourself a chance son don't let life pass you by[00:01:16]
But the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongest survive[00:01:20]
It's a dog eat dog world and that ain't no lie[00:01:24]
Listen it ain't even safe no more to walk the streets at night[00:01:27]
I'm doin' fine on cloud nine[00:01:32]
Let me tell you about cloud nine[00:01:34]
Cloud nine you can be what you wanna be[00:01:35]
Cloud nine[00:01:38]
You ain't got no responsibility[00:01:38]
And ev'ry man ev'ry man is free[00:01:47]
Cloud nine[00:01:51]
And you're a million miles from reality[00:01:56]
I wanna say I love the life I live[00:02:10]
And I'm gonna live the life I love up here on cloud nine[00:02:14]
I'm riding high[00:02:18]
On cloud nine you're as free as a bird in flight[00:02:27]
Cloud nine[00:02:31]
There's no diff'rence between day and night[00:02:31]
Cloud nine[00:02:40]
It's a world of love and harmony[00:02:42]
Cloud nine[00:02:51]
You're a million miles from reality[00:02:53]
Cloud nine you can be what you wanna be[00:02:59]
Cloud nine[00:03:05]
You ain't got no responsibility[00:03:06]
And ev'ry man ev'ry man is free[00:03:09]
Cloud nine[00:03:12]
And you're a million miles from reality[00:03:12]
Cloud nine[00:03:15]
Cloud nine[00:03:15]
Cloud nine[00:03:16]
