Black President Lyrics - Untitled - Nas

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

Change the world, they said 

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

The world, the world, the world 

They forgot us on the block 

Got us in the box, solitary confinement 

How violent are these cops? 

They need an early retirement

How 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 drought 

Public 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 rich 

Still I'm pledgin' allegiance 

A predicate felon, a ghetto leader 

Lendin' my poetical genius 

To whoever may need it 

I bleed this from Queensbridge 

Now livin' with my feet up 

Never defeated 

So a president's needed 

Photos 

You know these colored folks and Negroes 

Hate to see one of their own succeedin' 

America, surprised us 

And let a black man guide us 

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

Change the world, they said 

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

The world, the world, the world 

What's 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 white 

Except 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 I'm ridin' with my crew he dies, we die too, yeah 

But 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 snakes 

We in need of a break, I'm 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 feel 

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

Change the world, they said 

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

The world, the world, the world 

Say a prayer for, do we have to? 

You ain't right 

Jeremiah wrong pastor 

In love with a slave master 

Sincerely 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 do 

We 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 again 

We 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 honesty 

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

Change the world, they said 

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 president 

Yes, we can change the world 

The world, the world, the world 

It is my distinct honor and privilege 

To introduce to you the next 

President of the United States 

Barack Obama
