Numbers and dates follow me. As Ya’ll know! It’s a way to make sense of the world. Puts stuff in order and in its place. Always surprising me too!
Was browsing Nina Simone’s songs and found this Classic “Ain’t got no; I got Life.”
Uhmazing song!!!
Listen to it here:
“Ain’t got no; I got life.” Nina Simone Live
And looked up the song as we do! Only to find out this song was released “December 16,1968.”
Um...
Check THE date.
Yes!!! It’s December 16th.
49 years ago to the day this song was released!!!
What are the chances that on the Anniversary we’d find it?!??
Yay!!!
My favorite line is, “I got my boobies.”
:)
Today, Do you have your boobies?!? You have LIFE. Might not have all you want. Yet. But...
You got life.
With life, there is hope.
Possibility.
Anything can happen ;)
Boobies first!
Xoxo
Ps: lyrics here...
“I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no bed
Ain't got no man
Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin'
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
Ain't got no god
Hey, what have I got?
Why am I alive , anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away?
Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile
I got my tongue, got my chin
Got my neck, got my boobies
Got my heart, got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex
I got my arms, got my hands
Got my fingers, got my legs
Got my feet, got my toes
Got my liver, got my blood
I've got life, I've got my freedom
I've got life
I've got the life
And I'm going to keep it
I've got the life.”
