Текст песни My Life, Erykah Badu

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...
