Need to Be Free

I ain't shamed, baby
Step up and show my face
No shame facin', baby
Act a fool up in their place
I ain't scared to act a fool, baby
Yeah, I'm from Mississippi, baby
North Mississippi, baby
And I know right from wrong
We don't discriminate, baby
No, yeah, we know how to get along
Get along with one another, y'all

Oh, Mississippi
We all need to be free
Oh, Mississippi
We all need to be free

Gut no Mississippi
Low down dirty crooks
I ain't gonna call their name, baby
It's not '76
They got all them good books

Mississippi
We all need to be free
Yeah, protest loud and true, y'all
Mississippi
We all need to be free
I don't want

I ain't shamed, baby
Stand up for what I know is right
I ain't shamed, baby
Pray for peace tonight

Mississippi
We all need to be free
Mississippi
We all need to be free
Mississippi
We all need to be free
