Songs Title：cloud nine
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 we slept in, the children beside me
We hardly had enough food or rooms
It was a hard time
Needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind.
Ooooh listen
Father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected Mama and treated her slightly
I left home seekin' a job that I never did find
The first thing, downhearted, I took to Cloud 9
I'm doin' fine up here on Cloud 9
Listen, one more time
I'm doin' fine up here on Cloud 9
Folks now 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
It ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night
I'm doin' fine on Cloud 9
Let me tell you about Cloud 9
You can be what you wanna be
You ain't got no responsibility
Yeah, every man, every man is free
You're a million miles from reality
I wanna say  higher 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, I'm ridin' high on Cloud 9
You're as free as a bird in flight
Cloud 9 There's no diff'rence 'tween day and night
Cloud 9 It's a world of love and harmony
Cloud 9 You're a million miles from reality
Reality I wanna say up higher 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...
