Texty: Wyclef Jean. If I was President.

Yeah,
Election times coming.
Who you going to vote for
C'yeah


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 spending billions on the war,I can use that money so I could feed the poor.
Cause I know some so poor,when it rains thats when they shower.
Screaming "Fight the power". That?s when the war should devour.

[chorus]

I know some soldiers that sleep
But they can't dream
Wake up with screams
Sounds of M-16s
So take this metal of honor
For your bravery
I wish you the best kid--you and your familyi»?

[chorus]

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
its not all that bling thats diamonds
tell them the truth, the truth, most y'all wear cubic of zirconium
tell them the truth, the truth yeah, your soul's worth more than diamonds


If I were president all blacks would have reparations
no segregation,
feed the nation so there is no famine
Muslims,Jews and Christians
would all hold hands every week on the beach
party by the sand
word up, take trips on Air Force One
only to bring homeless with no sneaks on Air Force One
Better schools in the hood, better teachers for the classes
makin' money, payin' no taxes
find the best scientists
tell them "come up with an answer"
I want the cure for AIDS and Cancer
better watch my back, snipers on the hill
with the still, waitin' JF Kill

[chorus]

I feel the rain comin'
Let me play my guitar for them right now
Let's go, refugees
