Nina Simone To Be Free

on back and see me when you can Man I can understand how it might be Kinda hard to love a girl like me I don't blame you much for wanting to be free

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash Just who do you think I am? You raise my taxes, freeze my wages And send my son to Vietnam You give me second class houses

how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Fish in the sea you know how I feel River running free you know

baby But you ain't hip to baby, blowin' minds is a thing of the past You blew your chance that's why you never last You want to be a graduated mother

Here comes the sun little darlin' Here comes the sun I say, ?It's all right, it's all right? Here comes the sun little darlin' Here comes the sun I say

I put a spell on you 'Cause you're mine You better stop the things you do I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin' You know I can't stand it Your runnin' around

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes Ain't got no money, ain't got no class Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater Ain't got no perfume, ain't got

I live alone That hasn't always been easy to do For just a single woman Sometimes at night, the walls talk back to me They seem to say, "Wasn't yesterday

My skin is black, my arms are long My hair is woolly, my back is strong Strong enough to take the pain, inflicted again and again What do they call me
