"I Don't Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing (Open Up The Door I'll Get It Myself) [Pt.1 / Single Version]"

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

Do you hear me?

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

Don't give me integration

Give me true communication

Don't give me sorrow

I want equal opportunity

To live tomorrow

Give me schools

And give me better books

So I can read about myself

And gain my truly looks

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

Do you hear me now, now?

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

Some of us try

As hard as we can

We don't want no sympathy

We just wanna be a man

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

Do you hear me?

I don't want nobody

To give me nothing

Open up the door

I'll get it myself

We got talents we can use

On our side of town

Let's get our heads together

And build it up from the ground

When some of us make money

We forget about our people

Gotta grab out a honey

Forget about honey

Do you know, lookie here, hey

Come on, I got to have it

Come on, I need it

I got to have it, come on

I got to have it, oh, ha

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy

Play with your bad self

Come on, baby

Come here, come here

Got to get myself together
