Lyrics New Agenda

Chuck D:
It ain't nothin' but an us thang
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 nothin' but an us thang
She's strong and that's a fact
Now 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 rob 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 rejoice
A new agenda's due

Because of my gender
I've heard
o"" too many times
