Afternoon Matinee: Protest - If I Was President

Performed by Wyclef Jean





Election times coming.
Who you gonna vote for?

If I was President,
I'd get elected on Friday,
Assassinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday, then go back to work on Monday.
If I was President, If I was President, If I was President

Instead of spendin' Billions on the war,
I could use that money so I can feed the poor.
Cause I know some so poor, when it rains that's when they shower
Screamin' "Fight the power!" That's when the vulture devours.

If I was President,
I'd get elected on Friday,
Assassinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday. Then go back to work on Monday
If I was President, If I was President, If I was President.

I know some soldiers that sleep but they can't dream,
Wake up with screams, sounds of them succeed.
So take this medal of honor for your bravery,
I wish you the best care for you and your family.

If I was President,
I'd get elected on Friday,
Assassinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday, then go back to work on Monday.
If I was President, If I was President, If I was President.

But the radio won't play this. They call it rebel music.
How can you refuse it? Children of Moses.

Tell the children the truth, the truth.
It's not all that bling that's diamonds.
Tell them the truth, the truth.
Most of y'all wear cubics of zycomians.
Tell them the truth, the truth.
Your soldiers worth more than diamonds.

Yeah, If I was President
All blacks have reparation no segregation
Feed the nation until there's no famine Muslims, Jews, Christians
would all hold hands, every week on the beach party by the sand
Word up, take trips on Air Force One,
No need to bring no homeless with no sneaks to Air Force One.
Better schools in the hood, better teachers for the classes,
making money, paying no taxes.
Find the best scientist tell'em come up with an answer, I want the
cure for aids and cancer. But I gotta watch my back sniper gonna
heal with the steel waitin for JFK.

If I was President, If I was President.
I'd get elected on Friday,
Assassinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday, then go back to work on Monday.
If I was President, If I was President.
I feel the rain coming let me play the guitar for them right now.
(let's go)

Rescue g's

Yeah!
