No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song) by 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 Pusher man
We break it all down, in hopes that you might understand
How to protect yourself
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

And 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
And I ain't no junkie
I ain't no junkie

It 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
