My President (Remix)
Jay-Z · The Hits Collection Volume One Collector's Edition Box Set [2010]
my president is black my mayback too
and ill be goddamned if my diamonds aint blue
my moneys dark green and my porche is light gray
im headed for dc anybody feel me
verse 1
my president is black in fact hes half white
so even in a racist mind he's half right
if you got a racist mind youll be aight
my president is black but his house is all white
rosa parks sat so martin luther could walk
martin luther walked so barack obama could run
barack obama ran so all the children could fly
ima spread my wings you can meet me in the sky
i already got my own clothes already got my own shoes
i was hot before barack imagine what im gon do
hello miss america hey pretty lady
red white and blue flag
wave for me baby
i never thought id say this shit
baby im good
you can keep ya puss i dont want no more bush
no more war no more iraq no more white lies
the president is black
chorus x2
my president is black my mayback too
and ill be goddamned if my diamonds aint blue
my moneys dark green and my porche is light gray
im headed for dc anybody feel me
