Lyrics

[00:03.91]
[00:32.71] This song is for my mama
[00:37.92] This song is for you
[00:41.52] Hey Mr President
[00:46.39] Tomorrow I’m paying my rent
[00:50.88] My Fuel is runnin’ low
[00:56.51] And I’ve got places to go
[01:00.38] Quit slowin’ me down
[01:02.11]
[01:03.18] Can we talk about the education of our children
[01:08.35] A book is worth more than a bomb any day
[01:12.79] And remember a mirror to Africa
[01:18.09] Who will bring the cure before it’s too late
[01:23.41] Don’t you see the hurt in their eyes
[01:28.09] So much disappointment in many faces
[01:33.14] Use your heart and not your pride
[01:38.32] We can’t go on and keep pretending
[01:41.85] Please Mr President
[01:44.91]
[01:47.02] Where’s all the money you spent
[01:51.85] Food is fallin low
[01:57.53] And they have nowhere to go
[02:00.65] Quit slowin me down
[02:03.52] I ask you to have mercy on us father
[02:08.01] You think we know the rules by now
[02:11.49] We can’t go starting wars with hearts of hatred
[02:16.04] Out nations greed won’t make it better
[02:19.29] Or quiet the fears in our hearts
[02:24.16] Don’t you see the hurt in their eyes
[02:28.53] So much Disappointment in all of their faces
[02:33.83] Use your heart and not your pride
[02:38.85] We can’t go on and keep pretending
[02:41.43] O please Mr President
[02:44.80] Dear Mr President
[02:51.88]
[03:23.54] I hope you got the letter I sent
[03:32.64] A Dollar only goes so far
[03:37.76] And we need help here no matter who we are
[03:44.32] See we come from different worlds and different places
[03:49.80] Until there’s one great land one nation under god
[03:55.50] Times are getting harder and we need you to be like Moses
[04:01.89] And lead your people through
[04:05.96] Please be careful Be Careful
[04:10.60] Of what you do what you do
