Текст (слова) песни: Jackson, Janet - New Agenda

It aint nothin but an us thing

And its time for us to step it up and respect

That level of sisterhood thats been holdin up our neighborhood

And if it wasnt for our mothers there would be no brothers

And if it wasnt for our sisters there would be no misters

So it aint nothing but an us thing

Shes strong and thats a fact

Not its 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 Id never feel

I am somebody

Youve gouged my eyes

I see more clearly

Youve tried to rub me of my humanity

My spirit you tried to break

My soul you tried to take

Theres no need to be afraid

"Cause I wont do unto you now



Chorus:

Amen

All that weve been through

Our time has come to rejoice

A new agendas due

Amen

Its time to know the truth

Our time has come to rejoice

A new agendas due



Because of my gender

Ive heard "no" too many times

Because of my race

Ive 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

Theres 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 Im sayin

But the Klan aint playin at the range

Gotta step it up us to a discuss a must

It aint 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, its play off time

And the rhyme go to check, so check yourself



Repeat Chorus
