I'll be happy flying on the rooftops
I'll be happy burning in the streets
I'll be happy moving when I wish to
I'll be happy saying how I please
But I know I was never born to kneel
I know I was never born to cut my brother
I know I'll never born to make no deals
I'll be happy staying with you baby
I'll be happy swimming for free
You got ya cars at your curb, you got your horses in the country
But I'm a cities own son I'm a man of means, yes indeed
And I know I would never born to kneel
I know I was never born to wear no collar
I know I'll never born to make no deal
I'm flying on the rooftops
I'm burning in the streets now
I'm a staying with you baby
I'm a swimming for free
Talk to me baby
I'm swimming for free
