Mr. President |
| This song is for my mama |
| This song is for you |
| Hey Mr. President |
| Tomorrow I’m paying my rent |
| My Fuel is runnin' low |
| And I’ve got places to go |
| Quit slowin' me down |
| Can we talk about the education of our children? |
| A book is worth more than a bomb any day |
| And remember Ameri to Africa |
| Who will bring the cure before it’s too late |
| Don’t you see the hurt in their eyes? |
| So much disappointment in many faces |
| Use your heart and not your pride |
| We can’t go on and keep pretending |
| Please Mr. President |
| Where’s all the money you spent |
| Food is fallin low |
| And they have nowhere to go |
| Quit slowin me down |
| I ask you to have mercy on us father |
| You think we know the rules by now |
| We can’t go starting wars with hearts of hatred |
| Our nation’s greed won’t make it better |
| Or quiet the fears in our hearts |
| Don’t you see the hurt in their eyes? |
| So much disappointment in all of their faces |
| Use your heart and not your pride |
| We can’t go on and keep pretending |
| O please Mr. President |
| Dear Mr. President |
| I hope you got the letter I sent |
| A Dollar only goes so far |
| And we need help here, no matter who we are |
| See we come from different worlds and different places |
| Until there’s one great land, one nation under god |
| Times are getting harder and we need you to be like Moses |
| And lead your people through |
| Please be careful, Be Careful |
| Of what you do, what you do |
