Testo No Thing On Me - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone No Thing On Me (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album Superfly
I've met many people over the years
And in my opinion, I have found that people are the same everywhere
They have the same fears, shed similar tears
Die in so many years
The oppressed seem to have suffered the
Most in every continent, coast to coast
Now our lives are in the hands of the pusher man
We break it all down in hopes that you
Might understand how to protect yourself
Don't make no profit for the man
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
It's something kind of funny
How the man take your money
He's shrewd as he can be
In such a way you'll never see
It's a terrible thing inside
When your natural high has died
The weaker turn to dope
And put all aside their hope
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
Twinkling, tinkling grains
They do all sorts of things
While your inner man is pleased
Your conscience is only teased
More and more you fiend
Until you grow another need
Playing fantasy
You have no reality
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
Sit down and take a listen
This may be something that you're missing
I know you're mad, you want to funk it
But you don't have to be no junkie
Just be glad you got your own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
Sure is funky
Sure is funky
I ain't no junkie
I ain't no junkie
It sure is funky
Sure is funky
I ain't no junkie
I ain't no junkie
I'm so glad I got my own
