Ain't Got No
(Ragni/Rado/McDermot)

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 beer
Ain't got no man

Ain't got no mother,
ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends,
ain't got no schooling
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

What about God?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what about God?
Nobody can take away

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

I got my tongue,
I got my chin
I got my neck,
I got my boobs
I got my heart,
I got my soul
I got my back,
I got my sex

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

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

And I'm gonna keep it
I've got the life
And nobody's gonna take it away
I've got the life

A letra pode ser ingênua, bobinha, piegas até. Mas esta música na voz da Nina Simone é de arrepiar, levantar a cabeça e dar a volta por cima.
