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...
Curtis Lee Mayfield (Chicago, June 3, 1942 – Los Angeles, December 26, 1999) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Considered a pillar of soul and African-American music, Mayfield left an indelible mark on musical history thanks to his powerful voice, catchy melodies, and incisive lyrics that addressed social issues such as the civil rights struggle, poverty, and racial oppression. He began his career in the 1960s with The Impressions, a Chicago soul group with whom he achieved successes like «People Get Ready» and «Amen». In 1970, he embarked on a solo career, releasing highly successful albums such as «Super Fly» (1972) and «Curtis» (1978).
