Famous quotes by Rosa Parks:

"was that I was a person with dignity and self-respect, and I should not set my sights lower than anybody else just because I was black."

"He pointed at me and said, 'that one won't stand up.' The two policemen came near me and only one spoke to me. He asked me if the driver had asked me to stand up? I said, 'yes.' He asked me why I didn't stand up, ... I told him I didn't think I should have to stand up. So I asked him: 'Why do you push us around?' And he told me, 'I don't know, but the law is the law and you are under arrest.'"

"I was just trying to let them know how I felt about being treated as a human being,"

"the real reason of my not standing up was I felt that I had a right to be treated as any other passenger. We had endured that kind of treatment for too long."

"At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this, ... It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in."

"Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others."

"Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again."

"I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear."

"The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,"

"Each person must live their life as a model for others."

"I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen."

"At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this. It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in."

"Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome."

"All I was doing was trying to get home from work."

"I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free."

"Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way."

"My only concern was to get home after a hard day's work."

"Why do you all push us around?"

Ah ha, ah ha, baby, yeah, yeah
Ah ha, yeah, yeah, baby, ah ha
Ah ha, baby, ah ha, yeah, yeah
Baby, yeah, yeah, ah ha, ah ha
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
Many a day has passed, the night has gone by
But still I find the time to put that bump off in your eye
Total chaos for these playas thought we was absent
We takin' another route to represent the Dungeon Family
Like 'Great Day', me and my nigga decide to take the back way
We stabbing every city then we headed to that bat cave
ATL, Georgia, what we do for ya
Bull doggin' hoes like them Georgetown Hoyas
Boy you sounding silly, thank my Brougham ain't sittin' pretty
Doing donuts round you suckas like then circles around titties
Damn we the committee gone burn it down
But us gone bust you in the mouth with the chorus now, say it
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
Say, ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game
To stimulate then activate the left and right brain
Said, baby boy, you only funky as your last cut
You focus on the past your ass'll be a has what
That's one to live by or either that one to die to
I try to just throw it at you determine your own adventure
Andre, got to her station here's my destination
She got off the bus, the conversation lingered in my head for hours
Took a shower kinda sour 'cause my favorite group ain't comin' with it
But I'm witcha you cause you probably goin through it anyway
But anyhow when in doubt went on out and bought it
'Cause I thought it would be jammin'
But examine all the flawsky, wawsky
Awfully, it's sad and it's costly, but that's all she wrote
And I hope I never have to float in that boat
Up shit creek it's weak is the last quote
That I want to hear when I'm goin' down when all's said and done
And we got a new Joe in town
When the record player get to skippin' and slowin' down
All yawl can say is them niggas earned that crown but until then
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
Say, ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
Ah ha, ah ha, baby, yeah, yeah
Ah ha, yeah, yeah, baby, ah ha
Ah ha, baby, ah ha, yeah, yeah
Baby, yeah, yeah, ah ha, ah ha
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
Say, ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us?
We the type of people make the club get crunk
