Black President Lyrics


And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
Change the world, they saidAnd though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
The world, the world, the worldThey forgot us on the block
Got us in the box, solitary confinement
How violent are these cops?
They need an early retirementHow 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 droughtPublic housin, projects cookin up in the Pyrex
My set, my click either gettin money
Or runnin from homicide trial
That's if they ain't died yet tryin to be richStill I'm pledgin allegiance

A predicate felon, a ghetto leader
Lendin my poetical genius
To whoever may need itI bleed this from Queensbridge
Now livin with my feet up
Never defeated
So a president's neededYou know these colored folks and Negroes
Hate to see one of their own succeedin
America, surprised us
And let a black man guide usAnd though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
Change the world, they saidAnd though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
The world, the world, the worldWhats 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 whiteExcept Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood
And Calvin coolers, KKK is like What the fuck?
Loadin' they guns up, loadin' up mines too, ready to ride
Cause Im ridin with my crew he dies, we die too, yeahBut 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 snakesWe in need of a break, Im thinkin' I can trust this brotha
But will he keep it way real?
Every innocent nigga in jail gets out on appeal
When he wins, will he really care still? I feelAnd though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
Change the world, they saidAnd though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
The world, the world, the worldSay a prayer for, do we have to?
You ain't right
Jeremiah wrong pastor
In love with a slave masterSincerely yours, USA most brave rapper
Jesse car-jacker, Uncle Tom kidnapper
Ask around, Bentley Coupe off the Richter
Bitch called life, I pimped her, what?Politics, politricks, Klan-shooter
Deacon for defense, progress producer
Nothin on the stove, a survival-booster
Gotta do what we gotta doWe ain't got no governors comin through to help
Anythin we need done, we gotta do for self
New improved JFK on the way
It ain't the 60's again, niggas ain't hippies againWe ain't fallin for the same traps
Standin on the balconies where they shot the King at
McCain got apologies, ain't nobody hearin that
People need honestyAnd though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
Change the world, they saidAnd though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black president
And though it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to have a black presidentYes, we can change the world
The world, the world, the worldIt is my distinct honor and privilege
To introduce to you the next
President of the United States
Barack Obama

David Banner is an African American rapper, hip hop music record producer, record label executive, and philanthropist.

Prior to having a solo career, Banner was part of the rap duo Crooked Lettaz which released an album called Grey Skies in 1999. Banner then released his first solo album called Them Firewater Boyz, Vol. 1 in 2000. The album managed to sell over 10,000 copies in his hometown alone despite having little record label backing.

David Banner is well known for his many contributions to his local community of Jackson, Mississippi as well as Mississippi and the entire Gulf Coast region. In Jackson he has volunteered with such community organizations as Stewpot Ministries. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 he started the non-profit organization Heal the Hood which provided a range of services to victims of Hurricane Katrina ranging from reuniting family members separated by the storm to dispensing food to the various devestated communities of the Gulf Coast. A large benefit concert for Heal the Hood was held on September 17, 2005 at Philips Arena in Atlanta. The concert had performances from myriad recording artists, mostly from Atlanta, from Lil Jon to 112, Busta Rhymes to Lyfe Jennings. He was also involved in similar benefit concerts in Mississippi and New York.

In addition to these efforts Banner has given tens of thousands of dollars to college scholarships for minorities.

His first major-label album, Mississippi: The Album, went gold and was a critical and commercial success[citation needed], largely due to the success of lead single, "Like A Pimp", as well as more introspective album tracks such as "Cadillac's On 22's" and "Mississippi." The following album, MTA2: Baptized in Dirty Water, was completed in two weeks at the behest of SRC executive Steve Rifkind. His fourth album, Certified was released on September 20, 2005, after repeated delays.

He is currently remains signed to SRC.

Other than rapping, Banner is a producer and has produced for artists like T.I., Chingy, and Nelly among others. He is currently working with new artist Marcus, who was discovered by Banner. Banner says he was inspired to become a producer when, as a newcomer to the rap scene, he couldn't afford to buy beats and had to create his own.

Banner's most popular single, "Play", has caused some controversy for its very explicit lyrics. Its main chorus describes Banner's desire to make women "come." He also mentions having sex "until their pussy aches" and "making the bed break." Despite these controversies, "Play" still received much airplay on Top 40 and Rap/R&B radio stations, and on music video channels like MTV, though the lyrics are changed significantly for the airplay version. His next single "Touching" featuring fellow producer Jazze Pha made some airplay.

Banner graduated from John W. Provine High School in Jackson, MS and is a graduate of Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. While there, he served as president of the Student Government Association. He also has a Master's Degree which he says he obtained while at times being homeless.
