Cloud Nine |
| The childhood part of my life wasn’t very pretty |
| You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city |
| It was a one-room shack we slept in, the children beside me |
| We hardly had enough food or rooms |
| It was a hard time |
| Needed something to ease my troubled mind |
| Ooh listen |
| Father didn’t know the meaning of work |
| He disrespected Mama and treated her slightly |
| I left home seeking a job that I never did find |
| The first thing, downhearted, I took to Cloud 9 |
| I’m doing fine up here on Cloud 9 |
| Listen, one more time |
| I’m doing fine up here on Cloud 9 |
| Folks now tell me |
| They say, «Give yourself a chance |
| And don’t let life pass you by» |
| But the world around you is a rat race |
| Where only the strong survive |
| It’s a dog-eat-dog world and that ain’t no lie |
| It ain’t even safe no more |
| To walk the streets at night |
| I’m doing fine on Cloud 9 |
| Let me tell you about Cloud 9 |
| (Cloud 9) You can be what you want to be |
| (Cloud 9) You ain’t got no responsibility |
| (Cloud 9) Yeah, every man, every man is free |
| (Cloud 9) You’re a million miles from reality |
| (Reality) I want to say (up) higher (up up and away) |
| Cloud 9 |
| I want to say I love the life I live |
| And I’m going to live the life I love |
| Up here on Cloud 9 |
| Uh uh uh uh, I’m riding high on Cloud 9 |
