Ain't Got No/I Got Life Lyrics

Performed by Nina Simone

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, Ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, Ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume Ain't got no bed
Ain't got no mind,

Ain't got no mother Ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, aint got no schoolin'
Ain't got no love, Ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, Ain't got no token
Ain't got no god

and what have i got?
why am i alive anyway?
yeah what have i got?
nobody can take away?...

Got my hair. Got my head
Got my brains, Got my ears
Got my eyes, Got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, Got my chin
Got my neck, Got my legs
Got my heart, Got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, got my hands, got my fingers,
got my legs, got my feet, got my toes,
got my liver, got my blood..

I've got life,
i've got my freedom
i've got life
I've got life
and I am gonna keep it
I've got life
and nobody's gonna take it away
I've got life!

My favourite 45 single of all time | Reviewer: Robert Goldsmith | 5/22/2005

my favourite 45 single of all time, powerful, postive and uplifting, this is a great life defining song with lyrics than all of us can understand and empathise with. The song is recorded as live, though the several live versions available (particularly the 16 minute plus version recorded in Europe) add to this great song. I was devastated when Nina passed away but we have her songs, an enduring legacy

it's more about what you've got | Reviewer: su | 1/14/2005

this song has been brought back to popular culture with a little help from muller and that too is something to be thankful for. the song lists things that she hasn't got such as a mother and money and then goes on to list all the things she has got such as brains, eyes, heart, soul and her freedom. it's a perfect song to make you skip about being happy to also be alive, very positive and rousing.
