[00:00.00]Cloud Nine (Demonstration Version - Includes Lead Singer) - The Karaoke Channel
[00:24.03]Childhood part of my life
[00:25.24]Wasn't very pretty see
[00:27.66]I was born and raised
[00:29.05]In the slums of the city
[00:31.59]It was a one-room shack
[00:32.70]That slept ten other children beside me
[00:35.74]We hardly had enough food
[00:36.92]Or room to sleep
[00:39.05]It was hard times
[00:42.08]I needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind
[00:45.60]Ooh listen
[00:48.14]My father didn't know the meaning of work
[00:51.94]He disrespected mama
[00:53.50]And treated us like dirt
[00:56.15]I left home seeking a job
[00:57.71]That I never did find
[01:00.06]Depressed and down-hearted
[01:01.51]And I took to cloud nine
[01:03.66]I'm doing fine
[01:06.58]Up here on cloud nine
[01:09.17]Listen one more time
[01:11.70]I'm doing fine
[01:14.84]Up here on cloud nine
[01:18.37]Folks down there tell me
[01:20.27]They say"Give yourself a chance son
[01:21.41]Don't let life pass you by"
[01:22.98](Woo woo woo-oo)
[01:24.67]But the world around you's a rat race
[01:26.33]Where only the strongest survive
[01:28.41]It's a dog-eat-dog world
[01:29.97]And that ain't no lie
[01:31.06](Ain't no lie)
[01:32.10]Listen it ain't even safe no more
[01:34.63]To walk the streets at night
[01:36.39]I'm doing fine
[01:40.25]On cloud nine
