A who, who, awho, who
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
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 doingfine
Up here On cloud nine
Listen one more time
I'm doingfine
Up here On cloud nine
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
I'm doing fine on Cloud 9
Let me tell you about Cloud 9
Cloud 9 You can be what you wanna be
Cloud 9 You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud 9 Every man, every man is free
Cloud 9 You're a million miles from reality
Reality I'm gonna sail up, up higher up, up up, up and away Cloud 9
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
You're as free as a bird in flight
Cloud 9 There's no diff'rence between day and night
Cloud 9 It's a world of love and harmony
Cloud 9 You're a million miles from reality
Reality I'm gonna sail up, up higher up, up up, up and away Cloud 9
You can be what you wanna be
Cloud 9 You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud 9 Every man in his mind is free
Cloud 9 You're a million miles from reality
Cloud 9 You can be what you wanna be
Boom boom boom boom boom
I'm feeling fine on Cloud 9
