Wyclef Jean - President Lyrics
Election time is coming
If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday
And buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president
An old man told me, instead of spending billions on the war
We can use some of that money, in the ghetto
I know some so poor, when it rains that when they shower
Screaming "fight the power"
That's when the vulture devoured
Chorus
If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday
And buried on Sunday
If I was president
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
Chorus
If I was president,
I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday
And buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president
Tell the children the truth, the truth
Christopher Columbus didn't discover America
Tell them the truth
The truth
Yeah tell them about Marcus Garvey
The truth yeah the truth
Tell them about Martin Luther King
Tell them the truth
The truth
Tell them about JFK
If I was President
Chorus
If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday
And buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president
