Ehhhh, zhe, zhe, zhe
(Spoken) I was four, four years old When the Marine left Haiti, the U.S. Marine left Haiti I was a kid and every time a Marine battalion Passed in front of the house my father took my hand and said, "Don't look at that, don't look at that." And every May 18, which is the flag day, the father came Put the Haitian flag in front of the house, And I said, "Father, what is that, what does that mean for you?" And he said,"It means that you are Haitian. That mean that my great grand-father fought at Vertieres Never forget that. You are Haitian. You are from this land. You are not French, you are not British, you are not American You are Haitian." |

Election time is comin
If I was president, I'd get elected on Friday, assasinated on Saturday, 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's when they shower, screaming "FIGHT THE POWER". That's when the vulture devoured. [chorus] If I was president... If I was president But the radio won't play this. They call this rebel music. How can you refuse it, children of Moses? [Chorus] 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. Tell the children 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, I'd get elected on Friday, assasinated on Saturday, buried on Sunday. If I was president... If I was president |
