| Listen, baby
|
| Let’s talk about this life and what it means to me
|
| Baby, listen
|
| This how it’s got to be
|
| We only thought that you would come and turn these wrongs to right
|
| But we see it’s really all the same
|
| Who knew that you’d disgrace us
|
| White power in blackface us
|
| Our eyes were closed
|
| But now we all could see
|
| Lookin' at the parties like, damn, what’s the parties like
|
| Just seems all the parties' right
|
| Now I’m lookin' round wonderin'
|
| What the hell has happened to us, it’s on again
|
| Just misery, so many promises
|
| So many of us tried to make him what he really wasn’t
|
| Still suffering' so many unemployed
|
| Still watchin, NSA’s got me paranoid
|
| Make me wanna holler, throw my hands up
|
| Got us thinking' that we wrong if we demand stuff
|
| So we propped the man up, but what’d it get us?
|
| More useless excuses and more fed up
|
| Sounds so sweet when he makin' speeches
|
| Always preachin' hope and change like he really means it
|
| Manchurian Candidate
|
| Ladies love to hear him talkin' cause he’s so slick
|
| We sing it, but they never really understand, no they don’t, no
|
| We bring it, but they never seem to take a stand, no they won’t, no
|
| We mean it, better know they really ain’t your friend, and they’ve shown it
|
| So believe in me, believe in, believe in
|
| Dear Mr. President, wartime president
|
| Slicker than his predecessor, but it’s still the same shit
|
| Lost jobs, lost benefits
|
| Lost public option, lost souls follow quick
|
| Lost all respect for that shit he selling
|
| Same conflicts, but his reason ain’t compelling
|
| Same cause, same manufactured boogeymen
|
| Same bombs drop when his poll numbers dip
|
| Same profiteering — War’s good for business
|
| Same Israel nut-jockin' - shit is endless
|
| Same wall street bailouts, early christmas
|
| For the same motherfuckas that should be in prison
|
| Same racism, nothing changed bro
|
| Wingnuts wanna point and say «I told you so»
|
| We both hate his shit, but for different reasons though
|
| They hate cause he black, we hate cause he wrong
|
| We sing it, but they never really understand, no they don’t, no
|
| We bring it, but they never seem to take a stand, no they won’t, no
|
| We mean it, better know they really ain’t your friend, and they’ve shown it
|
| So believe in me, believe in, believe in
|
| Shiiiit, so I’ll say it all again man
|
| Same shit, different day, all the same man
|
| Same news cycle, same yapping' magpies
|
| Same gats clapping' overseas taking lives
|
| Now they say I’m hatin' cause I pulled his skirt
|
| Same people that done lost they house and outta work
|
| Got the nerve to think that I’m speaking' outta line
|
| Can’t criticize cause he 'posed to be my kind
|
| But scared negroes won’t rock the boat
|
| Same Bush-era tax cuts, same drones
|
| Same folks on lock, Guantanamo
|
| Same campaign stops, same shitty jokes
|
| Cracked while the world gets choked on
|
| And most black folk broke but still hold on
|
| To the illusion of choice
|
| Both parties, both sides of the same bullshit coin
|
| We sing it, but they never really understand, no they don’t, no
|
| We bring it, but they never seem to take a stand, no they won’t, no
|
| We mean it, better know they really ain’t your friend, and they’ve shown it
|
| So believe in me, believe in, believe in |
