Black President"

"Black President"

[Barack Obama - taken from victory speech in Iowa]

They said this day would never come...

[crowd cheers loudly]

They SAID, our sights were set too high. Th
is country is too divided;

too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose.

They said...

("Although it seems heaven-sent,

we ain't ready, to have a black president" -

[2Pac])[singers {Barack Obama}]

Yes we can...change the world...

{CHANGE THE WORLD...}[

("Although it seems heaven-sent,

we ain't ready, to have a black president" -

Yes we can...change the world...

(The world, the world, the WORLD...)

[Nas]They forgot us on the block, got us in the boxSolitary confinement,

how violent are these cops?

They need a early retirement How many rallies will I watch?

I ain't got it in me to march

I got a Semi to spark, the game's in a drought

Public housing, projects, cookin up in the Pyrex

My set, my clique, either gettin moneyor runnin from homicide trail,

that's if they ain't died yet

Tryna be rich, STILL I'm pledging allegiance

A predicate felon, a ghetto leader

Lendin my poetical genius, to who-EVER may need it

I BLEED this from Queensbridge, now living with my feet up

Never defeated, so a president's needed

You know these colored folks and

Negros hate to seeone of they own succeeding

America, surprise us, and let a black man guide us

("Although it seems heaven-sent, we ain't ready,

to have a black president" - [2Pac])

{Barack Obama}]

Yes we can...change the world...

{CHANGE THE WORLD...[Nas

]What's the black pres' thinkin on election night?

Is it, "How can I protect my life?

Protect my wife? Protect my rights?

"Every other president was nuttin' less than white'cept

Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood and Calvin CoolidgeKKK is like,

"What the fuck?!", loadin they guns upLoadin up mines too,

to ride'Cause I'm ridin with my crew

- he dies, we die tooYeah, but on the positive side

I think Obama provides hope,

and challenges mindsof all races and colors to erase the hateand

try to LOVE one another; so many political snakes

We in need of a break, I'm thinkin I can TRUST this brotha...'

but will he keep it way real?

Every innocent nigga in jail, gets out on appea

lWhen he wins, will he really care still?I feel...

[Repeat 2X]("Although it seems heaven-sent, we ain't ready,

to have a black president" - [2Pac])

Yes we can...change the world...

{CHANGE THE WORLD...}[Chorus][Nas]Say a prayer for

"Do we have to?"You ain't right, Jeremiah

Wrong pastorin love with a slave masterSincerely yours,

USA's most brave rapperJesse carjacker,

Uncle TOm kidnapperAsk around,

Bently Coupe off the RichterBitch called Life,

I pimped her, WHAT?Politics, politricks,

Klan shooterDeacon for defense, progress producer'

Nothing on the stove, a survival boosterGotta

DO what we gotta DOWe ain't got no governors comin through to help!

Anything we need done, gotta do for self

New, improved JFK on the wayIt ain't the 60s' again, niggas ain't hippies again

We ain't fallin for the same traps Standin on the balconies,

where they shot the King at

McCain got apoligies, ain't nobody hearin that

People need HONESTY
