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 |
