Cloud Nine (Live) Lyrics
A-who who awho who
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 that slept ten other children beside me
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep
It was hard times
Needed something to ease my troubled mind
My father didn't know the meaning of the word
He disrespected Mama and treated us like dirt
I left home seeking a job that I never did find
Depressed and down-hearted I took to Cloud 9
I'm doing
Fine
Up here
On cloud nine
Listen one more time
I'm doing
Fine
Up here
On cloud nine
Folks now they 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
Listen 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 wanna be
Cloud 9
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud 9
Every man every man is free
Cloud 9
You're a million miles from reality
Reality
I'm gonna sail
Up up
Higher
Up up up up and away
Cloud 9
I wanna say I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Up here on Cloud 9
Uh uh uh uh uh I'm riding high on Cloud 9
You're as free as a bird in flight
Cloud 9
There's no difference between day and night
Cloud 9
It's a world of love and harmony
Cloud 9
You're a million miles from reality
Reality
I'm gonna sail
Up up
Higher
Up up up up and away
Cloud 9
You can be what you wanna be
Cloud 9
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud 9
Every man in his mind is free
Cloud 9
You're a million miles from reality
Cloud 9
You can be what you wanna be
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
I'm feeling fine on Cloud 9
