Curtis Mayfield - No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song) lyrics

I've met many people over the years And in my opinion I have found that People are the same everywhere They have the same fears Shed similar tears Die in so many years The oppressed seem to have suffered the most In every continent - coast to coast Now our lives are in the hands of The Pusherman We break it all down In hopes that you might understand Don't make no profit for The Man I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me There's somethin' kinda funny How The Man take your money He's shrewd as he can be In such a way you'll never see It's a terrible thing inside When your natural high has died The weaker turn to dope And put all aside their hope I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me Twinkling twinkling grains They do all sorts of things While your inner mind is pleased Your conscience is only teased... More and more you feed Until you grow another need Playing fantasy You have no reality I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me Sit down and take a listen This may be something that you're missin' I know your mind You want it funky But you don't have to be no junkie Just be glad you've got your own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The Man can't put no thing on me I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me Sure is funky Sure is funky I ain't no junkie I ain't no junkie Sure is funky Sure is funky I ain't no junkie I ain't no junkie I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see...
