No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song) - Curtis Mayfield

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…
