I Don't Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing (Open Up The Door, I'll Get It Myself) [Pt.1 & 2] Lyrics

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, give me better books
So I can read about myself
And gain my true 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
Forget about our honey
Forget about our honey

Looka here now, looka 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
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Play with your bad self
Come on, baby, looka here

Got to get myself together
So many things I got to do
So many things I got to do
I don't need no help from you
Tell everybody, everybody else
All of these things, baby
I got to do myself, come on, hey
I got to have it
I, said I, said I, said I, said I, ah...

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

We've used our sweat and blood
To put out every fire
And block up every flood

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
I don't want nobody to give me nothing
Open up the door, I'll get it myself

I'm not gonna tell you what to do
I'm not gonna raise a fuss
But before you make another move
Let's start by taking care of us

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

Kids, get that education
And don't you take no fall
'Cause if we're gonna get this thing together
Then you got to get involved

I don't want nobody to give me nothing

Open up the door, open up the door
Open up the door, open up the door
Open up the door, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't want nobody to give me nothing
Open up the door, I'll get it myself

Ha, can you dig the groove?
Can you make the move?
Can you dig the say?
Can you make the pay?
Can you dig the groove?
