Verse 1
So we woke up, I told my baby girl to go and dress, she couldn’t find her shoes so, she began to get stressed. She said look, my cloths are real wrinkled where’s the ironing board, she looked every where and its usally behind the door, I said look my child it wouldn’t be no ironing board, a black woman named Sara Boone she designed it for us.
As a matter of fact you got to walk around bare feet, a black man John Matzingler made the shoe machine. She said are you fooling me, nau girl we everywhere, gone gone find the comb now, got to do something with your hair. Hurry up come on now before the day pass us bye, she couldn’t find the comb so she turned around and asked why??? Opps my bad forgot about Walter, Sammons black man invented the comb for my daughter. Now lets’ seen shoes, wrinkled cloths, hair’s a mess. A world with out black for we wouldn’t be able to bare the stress,

Hook 1
Not everything we want but everything we need
Gone help me get down so we can up .
We All over the Place, Repeat

Verse 2
Before we head out we can’t leave the house a mess, why don’t we do our chores than after that we out the door, it’s about noon so look here start with your room, she swept the floor clean but their’s no mate to the broom; because a black Lloyd P Ray invented the dust pan, so go a head and sweep the dirt in the corner. Keep it ghetto like noodles made by ramen, we need to know that we go back till when god made man,. See they don’t want us to know they just want us to fold as a people, see when the beast knock you got to look through that peep hole. Who is it? Oh just another false alarm, I thought it was my real folk but it’s my uncle Tom. Don’t unlock the door let him stay by his lonesome, now let’s continue the lesson at hand. See black folk we built this land so we must over stand, the sun blessed us all with the rhythm to dance.

Hook 2
Not everything We Want but Everything we need.
Gone help me get down so we can get up….
We All over the Place. Repeat

Verse 3
Before we head out let’s put the cloths in the dryer, I ‘m too cool to walk around with smelly attire. She said look dad come quick the dryer must have vanished cause that was the invention of George T. Sammon, I can keep braggin all about what we done, my daughter getting hunry though, so we got to run. We walked out side it’s grass up to her Knees cause John Burr invented the lawn mower for them weeds. So we hopped through the grass and made our way to the car, turned the key and pump the gas but it just wouldn’t start and that’s because brother Richard Spike invented the gear shift so we can drive around cross the side of town. So we decided to walk and noctice cars start crashing, I began to tell her why before se started asking. Brother Gary Morgan he invented the stop light so world be the same with out us NOT QUITE”..
