It ain't nothin' but an us thingAnd it's time for us to step it up and respectThat level of sisterhood that's been holdin' up our neighborhoodAnd if it wasn't for our mothers there would be no brothersAnd if it wasn't for our sisters there would be no mistersSo it ain't nothing but an us thingShe's strong and that's a factNot it's time for us to take up the slackStep it up, step it up time to go to workHistory hidden from meTo hide my identitySo I'd never feelI am somebodyYou've gouged my eyesI see more clearlyYou've tried to rub me of my humanityMy spirit you tried to breakMy soul you tried to takeThere's no need to be afraid"Cause I won't do unto you nowChorus:AmenAll that we've been throughOur time has come to rejoiceA new agenda's dueAmenIt's time to know the truthOur time has come to rejoiceA new agenda's dueBecause of my genderI've heard "no" too many timesBecause of my raceI've heard "no" to many timesBut with every "no" I grow in strengthThat is whyAfrican American womenI stand tall with prideYou want to know what it takesTo rid yourself of me nowThere's nothing you can doAccept me for who I am nowRepeat ChorusTime to step it up, step it upBetter check yourselfI got vexed to protect what we gotLeft her aloneLookin' for your ownHere it is I know what I'm sayin'But the Klan ain't playin' at the rangeGotta step it up us to a discuss a mustIt ain't nothin' but an us thingRewind back to the timeWhere the color of our motherHad 'em call it a crimeBrother what in the world?And the world says where in the black manSupport the women and the childrenTime to step it up, step it up, it's play off timeAnd the rhyme go to check, so check yourself
