I Don’t Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door, I’ll Get It Myself) lyrics

[Hook]
I don't want nobody to give me nothing
Open up the door, huh, 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, 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 1]
Don't give me integration
Give me true communication
I don't give me sorrow
I want equal opportunity to live tomorrow
Give me schools
Snd give me better books
So I can read about myself
And gain my true looks

[Hook]
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, huh, I'll get it myself
[Verse 2]
Some of us try
As hard as we can
We don't want no sympathy
We just want to be a man

[Hook]
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 build it up from the ground
When some of us make money
We forget about our people, huh, ha
Gonna forget about our honey
Forget about our honey
Do you know, look at 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
[Sax solo]
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Play with your bad self
Come on, baby, come here come here
Got to get myself together
So many things I got to do
So many things I got to see
I don't need no help from you
Tell everybody, mighty hell
All of these things, baby, ha
I got to do it myself, come on
Hey!

I gotta have it
I, said I, said I, said I, said I, I

[Hook]
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

[Verse 4]
We've used our sweat and blood
Put out every fire, and block up every flood
[Hook]
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, huh, I'll get it myself

[Verse 5]
I'm not gonna tell you what to do
I'm not gonna raise a fuss
But before you make another rule
Let's start by taking care of us

[Hook]
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, huh, I'll get it myself

[Verse 6]
Kids, get that education
And don't you take no bar
Cause we're gonna get this thing together
And you got to get them all

[Hook]
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, huh, I'll get it myself
Ha!

[Outro]
Can you dig the groove?
Can you make the move?
Can you dig the same?
Can you make me play?
Can you dig the groove?
