[Chorus]
I don't want nobody to give me nothing
Open  up the door, heh, 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, heh, 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

[Verse 1]
Don't give me denigration
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

[Chorus]
I don't want nobody to give me nothing
Open up the door, huh, I'll get it myself
Do you hear me now, now
I don't want nobody to give me nothing
Open up the door, heh, I'll get it myself
[Verse 2]
Some of us try as hard as we can
We don't want no sympathy
We just wanna be a man

[Chorus]
I don't want nobody to give me nothing
Open up the door, huh, 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

[Verse 3]
We got talents we can use
On our side of town
Let's get our heads together
And get it up from the ground
When some of us make money
We forget about our people, ha
Gotta grab out a honey
Forget about honey
Looka here now, let me hear, hey

[Outro]
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, looka here
Gotta get it
Got to get myself together
