If I Was President Lyrics


Yeah,
Election times coming.
Who you going to vote for
C'yeahIf I was president,
I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday,
buried on Sunday.then go back to work on MondayIf I was president...
If I was president
If I was presidentInstead 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". Thats 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 family[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 diamondsIf 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wyclef Jean (born October 17, 1972 in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haïti) is an American rapper, producer, and member of the superstar hip hop trio The Fugees, known now for a series of high-profile hit singles.

Jean moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in his high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend (so close they told people they were cousins growing up) Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate, Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver.

Recently he has been finding success as a collaborator - with his turn on Shakira's 2006 track 'Hips Don't Lie' hitting number one in many countries around the world.

In August of 2010, Jean announced his intent to seek the presidency of Haiti. This move came after his increasingly-high profile humanitarian work in the wake of the earthquake that devastated that nation.
