| | | Artist: | Janet Jackson |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | New Agenda | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | Chuck D's Intro:
It ain't nothin but an us thang
And it's time for us to step it up and
respect
That level of sisterhood
That's been holding up our neighborhood
And if it
wasn't for our mothers
There would be no brothers
And if it wasn't for our sisters
There would be no misters
So it ain't nothin but a us thang
She's strong and that's a
fact
Now it's time for us to take up the slack
Step it up, step it up, time to go to work
History hidden from me
To hide my identity
So I'd never feel
I am somebody
You've gouged my eyes
I see more clearly
You've tried to rob
My humanity
My spirit you tried to break
My soul you tried to take
There's no need to be
afraid
Cause I won't do unto you now
CHORUS:
Amen
All that we've been
through
Our time has come to rejoice
A new agenda's due
Amen
It's time to know
the truth
Our time has come to rejoice
A new agenda's due
(no no)
Because
of my gender
(no)
I've heard no too many times
Because of my race
I've heard no
too many times
But with every no
I grow in strenght
That is why
African-American
woman
I stand tall with pride
You want to know what it takes
To rid yourself of
me now
There's nothing you can do
Accept me for who I am now
CHORUS
Chuck D's Rap:
Time to step it up, step it up
Better check yourself
I get
vexed to protect what we got
Left her alone
Lookin for your own
Here it is I know
what I'm sayin
But the klan ain't playin at the range -acap | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
