LI'L INEZ
Well, you're the only one who did, 'cause they kicked me out on my young, gifted and black behind. |
|
|
SEAWEED
Tell 'em about it! |
|
|
LI'L INEZ
I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride |

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
So give me five on the black-hand side |

LI'L INEZ
I've got a new way of movin' And i got my own voice |
|
|
SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
So how can i help But to shout and rejoice |
|
|
LI'L INEZ
The people 'round here Can barely pay their rent They're "try'n to make dollar Out 'a fifteen cent" But we got a spirit Money just cant buy |
|
|
LI'L INEZ & ENSEMBLE
It's deep as a river And soars to the sky!! |

I cant see The reason it cant be The kinda world where we all get our chance |
|
|
The time is now
And we can show them how To turn the music up and let's all dance |
|
|
'Cause all things are equal
When it comes to love Well, that ain't quite true 'Cause when push comes to shove... |
