In Memory of Cassandra

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't be no fool

Ain't Got No (I Got Life)

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 man

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

And what about god?
Why am I alive anyway?
What about god?
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 boobies
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
and my liver
Got my blood..

I got life,
I've got my freedom
I got life

I got life,
and I'm going to keep it
as long as I want it

When life requests a song, I will happily oblige. Thank you nina, for giving me so many to pick from.
