The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 give me no animation, give me true communication

I don't give me sorrow, I give me equal opportunity

To live tomorrow

Give me schools and give me phantom 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

Do you hear me, na-na

I don't want nobody to give me nothing

Open up the door, I'll get it myself

So let's try as hard as we can

We don't want no sympathy, we just want to be a man

I don't want nobody to give me nothing

Open up the door, I'll get it myself

Do you hear me...

We've got travellers, we've got news from outside of town

Let's get out, head together and let's get it up

Form the ground, when some of us make money

We must think about our people

Got to pray about it honcy, forget about it honcy

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

Lordy... play with your bad stuff

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, got to do it myself, come on, I gotta have it...

I said, I don't want nobody to give me nothing

Open up the door, I'll get it myself...

With you I'm swept and blessed

Would I ever find and block up every bird

I don't want nobody to give me nothing...

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

I don't want nobody to give nothing

Open up the door, I'll get it myself...

Can't get that education and don't you take no bar

'Cause we're gonna get this thing together

And you've got to get them all

I don't want nobody to give me nothing

Open up the door, I'll get it myself...

Can you dig the groove, can you make the move

Can you dig the same, can you make me play

Can you take the groove,can you dig it

Tell me can you dig it, tell me can you, come on now

I got to have it...

I'm not gonna be a cupid, don't be so stupid

Come on, wait, got no time to hate

We need all the time we got, try and communicate

Come on, Lordy... I got to get myself together

When they keep on slapping your back

How can I get myself together?...

I don't want nobody to give me nothing

Open up the door, I'll get it myself...

(repeat all til fade)
