By now you’ve heard perhaps the biggest buzz filling the August news hole nationwide – that rapper Wyclef Jean is considering a bid for the presidency of Haiti. I’d say he’s got a heck of a chance of winning aside from any legal issues that may prevent him from partaking in the poles. And why not? The former Refugee All Star and celebrity activist has the money and star power to keep the spotlight shining on Haiti, which is perhaps what that country needs more than anything else. In fact, he’s already got a platform, as my colleague pointed out, in his hit track, “If I was president.” Jean is set to discuss his plans further this evening on CNN with….Larry King?
If I Was President (Lyrics)
Election time is coming
If I was president,
I’d get elected on Friday, assasinated on Saturday,
and 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 when they shower,
screaming “fight the power”.
That’s when the vulture devoured
[chorus]
If I was president,
I’d get elected on Friday, assasinated on Saturday,
and buried on Sunday.
If I was president…
If I was president…
If I was president…
If I was president
But the radio won’t play this.
They call it rebel music.
How can you refuse it, children of moses?
[chorus]
If I was president,
I’d get elected on Friday, assasinated on Saturday,
and buried on Sunday.
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.
The 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
[chorus]
If I was president,
I’d get elected on Friday, assasinated on Saturday,
and buried on Sunday.
If I was president…
If I was president
