Black President |
| Although it seems heaven sent, |
| we ain’t ready to have a black President |
| Although it seems heaven sent, |
| we ain’t ready to have a black President |
| Yes We Can … Change the World (Change the World) |
| (They Said!) |
| They forgot us on the block |
| Got us in the box |
| Solitary confinement |
| How violent are these cops? |
| They need an 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 |
| Cooking up in the Pyrex |
| My set, my click |
| Either getting money |
| Or running from homicide trial |
| That’s if they ain’t died yet |
| Trying to be rich |
| Still I’m pledging allegiance |
| A predicate felon, a ghetto leader |
| Lending my poetical genius |
| To whoever may need it |
| I bleed this from Queensbridge |
| Now living with my feet up |
| Never defeated |
| So a president’s needed |
| Y’know these colored folks and Negroes |
| Hate to see one of their 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 |
| Although it seems heaven sent, |
| we ain’t ready to have a black President |
| Yes We Can … Change the World (Change the World) |
| (They Said!) |
| 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 nothin' less than white |
| Except Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood |
| and Calvin Coolidge |
| KKK is like 'what the fuck', loadin' they guns up |
| loadin' mine too, Ready to ride |
| Cause I’m ridin' with my crew |
| He dies — we die too |
| But on a positive side, |
| I think Obama provides Hope — and challenges minds |
| Of all races and colors to erase the hate |
| And try and love one another, so many political snakes |
| We in need of a break |
| Im thinkin' I can trust this brotha |
| But will he keep it way real? |
| Every innocent n! |
| gga in jail — gets out on appeal |
| When he wins — will he really care still? |
| I feel. |
| .. |
| And though it seems heaven sent, |
| we ain’t ready to see a black President |
| And though it seems heaven sent, |
| we ain’t ready to see a black President |
| Yes We Can … Change the World (Change the World) |
| (They Said!) |
| Say a prayer for «do we have to?» |
| You ain’t right, Jeremiah Wrong pastor |
| In love with a slave master |
| Sincerely yours: |
| USA most brave rapper |
| Jesse car-jacker |
| Uncle Tom-kidnapper |
| Ask around |
| Bentley Coupe off the Richter |
| B! |
| tch-called-life, I pimped her |
| What? |
| Politics, politricks |
| Klan-shooter |
| Deacon for defense |
| Progress-producer |
| Nothing on the stove |
| A survival-booster |
| Gotta do what we gotta do |
| We ain’t got no governors coming through to help |
| anything we need done, we gotta do for self |
| New-improved JFK on the way |
| It ain’t the 60's again |
| N! |
| ggas ain’t hippies again |
| We ain’t falling for the same traps |
| Standing on the balconies |
| Where they shot the King at |
| McCain got apologies |
| Ain’t nobody hearing that |
| People need honesty |
| And though it seems heaven sent, |
| we ain’t ready to see a black President |
| And though it seems heaven sent, |
| we ain’t ready to see a black President |
| Yes We Can … Change the World (Change the World) |
| (They Said!) |
| It is my distinct honor and privilege to introduce the next President of the |
| United States: Barack Obama. |
| (Applause) |
