Ain't Got No, I Got Life
Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no wear, ain't got no job
Ain't got no money, no place to stay
Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no children, ain't got no sisters above
Ain't got no earth, ain't got no faith
Ain't got no touch, ain't got no god
Ain't got no love
Ain't got no wine, no cigarettes
Ain't got no clothes, no country
No class, no schooling
No friends, no nothing
Ain't got no god
Ain't got one more
Ain't got no earth, no ?
No food, no home
I said I ain't got no clothes
No job, no nothing
Ain't got long to live
And I ain't got no love
But what have I got?
Let me tell ya what I've got
That nobody's gonna take away
I got my hair on my head
I got my brains, I got my ears
I got my eyes, I got my nose
I dot my mouth, I got my smile
I got my tongue, I got my chin
I got my neck, I got my boobies
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
Got life, I got my life
- Nina Simone

Walking down Santa Monica I pass this homeless lady looking at a pizza menu and a voice turned me around to go ask if she wanted a slice. Yeah well she wanted a BLT pizza special that she said she entered to win on her birthday but of course she didn't read the fine print that said you had to have made 10 visits. We got on periscope and had a 30 min conversation about her life. Weirdly Julianna and I were had a lot in common. We both played the cello and piano in 4th grade as our first instruments. She is a Scorpio her ex boyfriend who was a murder was a Pisces name Eon who was black.... right after that I died and had to see her on her way. 😆 #30daysand1night #a1manbrand #igotlife #lordcoopa (at West Hollywood, California)
