A-who, who, awho, who...
Dennis:
The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty.
You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city.
It was a one room shack we slept in, other children beside me.
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep.
It was a hard times, needed something to ease my troubled mind.
Paul:
Ooo, listen.
My father didn't know the meaning of work.
He disrespected Mama and treated us like dirt.
I left home seekin' a job that I never did find.
Depressed and down-hearted, I took to Cloud 9.
I'm doing...(fine)
Up here. (On cloud nine)
Listen one more time.
I'm doing...(fine)
Up here. (On cloud nine)
Dennis:
Folks now they tell me.
They say, give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by.
But the world around you is a rat race.
Where only the strong survive.
It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie. (Ain't no lie)
Listen, it ain't even safe no more, to walk the streets at night.
Eddie: I'm doing fine on Cloud 9.
Dennis: Let me tell you about Cloud 9.
(Cloud 9)Paul: You can be what you wanna be.
(Cloud 9)Dennis: You ain't got no responsibility.
(Cloud 9)Eddie: Every man, every man is free.
(Cloud 9)Dennis: You're a million miles from reality.
(Reality) I'm gonna sail (up, up) higher (up, up... up, up and away) Cloud 9.
Eddie:
I wanna say I love the life I live.
And I'm gonna live the life I love.
Up here on Cloud 9.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm riding high on Cloud 9.
Dennis: You're as free as a bird in flight.
(Cloud 9)Melvin: There's no diff'rence between day and night.
(Cloud 9)Eddie: It's a world of love and harmony.
(Cloud 9)Dennis: You're a million miles from reality.
(Reality) I'm gonna sail (up, up) higher (up, up... up, up and away) Cloud 9.
Paul: You can be what you wanna be.
(Cloud 9)Dennis: You ain't got no responsibility.
(Cloud 9)Eddie: Every man in his mind is free.
(Cloud 9)Dennis: You're a million miles from reality.
(Cloud 9)Paul: You can be what you wanna be.
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom...
Eddie: I'm feeling fine on Cloud 9.
The lyrics CLOUD NINE of THE TEMPTATIONS is also present in the album Cloud nine (1969)
The Temptations sono un gruppo vocale statunitense formatosi a Detroit, Michigan, nel 1960. Considerati uno dei gruppi soul più influenti di tutti i tempi, hanno contribuito in modo significativo allo sviluppo del genere Motown Sound, una fusione di R and B, pop e rock psichedelico. Il loro stile distintivo è caratterizzato da armonie vocali impeccabili, coreografie sincronizzate e testi che esplorano temi come l'amore, la perdita e la speranza. Tra i brani più celebri dei Temptations figurano "My Girl", "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" e "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone". Il gruppo ha venduto oltre 100 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo, ottenendo numerosi premi e riconoscimenti, tra cui un posto nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 1989. La formazione originale comprendeva Otis Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin e David Ruffin. Nel corso degli anni, la band ha visto diverse rotazioni di membri, ma Otis Williams è rimasto l'unico membro originale fino alla sua scomparsa nel 2023.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
