All my people need food and water
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun gettin' hotter and hotter
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes
I went to the courthouse to speak my mind
They told me to stand in a long long line
All of my people need freedom and grace
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun shinin' in my face
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
I wanna talk to the people who run this town
I'm gettin' tired of this merry-go-round
All of my people need common respect
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun burning down my neck
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes
All I wanna do is to get back home
Instead of wastin' away at this Superdome
All of my people need food and water
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun gettin' hotter and hotter
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes
All of my people need freedom and grace
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
July sun shinin' in my face
Baby needs a new pair of shoes
All of my people need
All of my people need
All of my people need
All of my people need
You got to pa** it around
Pa** it around
