Nina Simone performing 'Aint' got no - I got life' (Gerome Ragni, James Rado and Gal McDermot).
I think this is a studio version. At the end she makes the comment "That should be good" and a man's voice responds "That's groovy". This is part of the recording but I have no idea who the man is and why other similar studio versions that I've heard don't have this. It makes me wonder whether it was added to this one or eliminated from the others...
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. It's a great song that Nina makes (yet again!)unforgettably wonderful!
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 mind.
Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, aint got no schooling
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.
And what have i got?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what've 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 got my freedom
I've got life, I've got life
And I am gonna keep it
I've got life, and nobody's gonna take it away
I've got life!

An inspirational song, that I accidentally stumbled upon when I needed it the most! No words can express the gratitude I feel for the singer and the thoughts behind this song. No matter what the circumstances are we have got life and soul and smile :)

Real music like this is still made.They just don´t show it anymore. The guys who ´have it all´ know that it could make mankind to wake the fuck up. I live this song, and nobody is ever gonna take it away.

For those of you who do not know about Nina Simone, this song is about owning the one thing that noone can take away from you. Yourself. It is about owning who you are and what you do.
