I Don't Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door I'll Get It Myself) [Live From Augusta, GA., 1969 / 2019 Mix] 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
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, ah, and then give me better books
So I can read about myself and gain my truly looks

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
We've eased our sweat and blood
Put out every fire, plucked up every flood

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!

Baby, baby, baby
Gimme, gimme, baby, baby
Alright now, baby
Hee!

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

Kids, get that education, and don't you make no ball
'Cause we gonna get this thing together, and you got to carry the ball

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

Looka here, go on, dig it
Kids, get that education, and don't you make no ball
'Cause we gonna get this thing together, and you got to carry the ball

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

Open up the door, open the door
Open up the door, open up the door
Open up the door, open up the door
Open up the door, open up the door
Hey!
