Janet Jackson ~ New Agenda


[Chuck D's Intro:] 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 holding 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 a 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 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 to rejoice A new agenda's due (no no) Because of my gender (no) I've heard no too many times Because of my race I've heard no too many times But with every no I grow in strenght That is why African-American woman I stand tall with pride You want to know what it takes To rid yourself of me now There's nothing you can do Accept me for who I am now [CHORUS] Chuck D's Rap: Time to step it up, step it up Better check yourself I get vexed to protect what we got Left her alone Lookin for your own Here it is I know what I'm sayin But the klan ain't playin at the range Gotta step it up us to discuss a must It ain't nothin but an us thang Rewind back to the time Where the color of our mother Had 'em call it a crime Brother what in the world?

[Chuck D's Intro:]
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 holding 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 a 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
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 to rejoice
A new agenda's due

(no no)
Because of my gender
(no)
I've heard no too many times
Because of my race
I've heard no too many times
But with every no
I grow in strenght
That is why
African-American woman
I stand tall with pride

You want to know what it takes
To rid yourself of me now
There's nothing you can do
Accept me for who I am now

[CHORUS]

Chuck D's Rap:
Time to step it up, step it up
Better check yourself
I get vexed to protect what we got
Left her alone
Lookin for your own
Here it is I know what I'm sayin
But the klan ain't playin at the range
Gotta step it up us to discuss a must
It ain't nothin but an us thang
Rewind back to the time
Where the color of our mother
Had 'em call it a crime
Brother what in the world?
And the world says where is the black man
Support the woman and children
Time to step it up, step it up, it's playoff time
And the rhyme go to check, so check yourself

Amen
A new agenda's due

[CHORUS (2x)]

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
