Janet Jackson - New Agenda songtekst

Je score:

It ain`t nothin` but an us thing

And it`s time for us to step it up and respect

That level of sisterhood that`s been holdin` 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 nothing but an us thing

She`s strong and that`s a fact

Not 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 rub me of 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

 

Because of my gender

I`ve heard "no" too many times

Because of my race

I`ve heard "no" to many times

But with every "no" I grow in strength

That is why

African American women

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

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Time to step it up, step it up

Better check yourself

I got 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

Gotta step it up us to a discuss a must

It ain`t nothin` but an us thing

Rewind back to the time

Where the color of our mother

Had `em call it a crime

Brother what in the world?

And the world says where in the black man

Support the women and the children

Time to step it up, step it up, it`s play off time

And the rhyme go to check, so check yourself
