Uh, put your bad self, say it loud, I'm not that loud, say it loud, I'm not that loud
Look here, some people say we got a lot of malice, some say it's a lot of love
But I say we won't quit movin' until we get what we deserve
We've been buked and we've been scummed
We've been beat and banged, talked about, assured you won't
Just as sure as it takes two eyes to make a pair
Brother, we can't quit until we get our share
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
One more time, say it loud, I'm not that loud
I've worked on jobs with my feet in my hands
You know all the work I did was for the other man
Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beatin' our head against the wall and workin' for someone else
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Oh yeah, you're killin' me
Alright, you're outta sight
Alright, so tough, you're tough enough
Oh yeah, you're killin' me
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Now, we demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beatin' our head against the wall and workin' for someone else
Look here, there's one more thing I got to say right here
Now, we're people, we like the birds and the bees
We'd rather die on our feet than keep livin' on our knees
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Alright now, Lord
You know we can hear the blues
Now, we can sing, we'll do the funky Broadway
Now, we do, sometimes we dance, we sing and we talk
You know we do it, we do the camel walk
Alright now, alright, alright now
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Now, we demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beatin' our head against the wall and workin' for someone else
You know we are people too, we like the birds and the bees
But we'd rather die on our feet than keep livin' on our knees
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
You're killin' me
Alright, out of sight
Alright, out of sight
You're killin' me
Oh yeah, oh no
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
God, you're killin' me
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
Say it loud, I'm not that loud
