[dewahneta88]

if i was president i would die in office after the frist day

[Alphawolfeone]

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The point is there should be ZERO inflation and groceries went up 30% FU Bank Loving Suts

[anthony117ful]

I can smoke weed to this one cuz that president wouldnt care

[HashNtheBox]

I love this song, the message is so clear and true

[imelroy]

I like the way it sounds but the message is a load of bull.

[HashNtheBox]

@imelroy WTF are you talking about, there is no bullshit in this song.

[Cassius327]

The Best.

[Trendist75]

The only reason he did this song is for being nominated as candidate in Haiti's presidential election. He is full of crap.. just google Wyclef and Haiti.. & read..

[xbEAUTYb00]

@Trendist75 lmfaoo this song was made all the way in like 2004 or earlier. you don't know wyclef, don't make your own facts sir. the election was in 2010 fyi.

[debo357able]

We have to raise our fist of pride and power and keep on fighting the fight. start educating our youth so they dont make the same mistakes we made and fall into the very same pitfalls and traps that so many of our brothers and sisters fell prey too. we also have to start reeducating our borthers and sisters who have givin up on self our youth and their responsabilities as parents, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and family. In order for that to happen we have to start loving ourselves again

[Falcor50]

If he wasz?He would smoke the contry!!

[FilmCreatureCom]

@myself Dummy

Rest In Peace Patrice O'Neal. You brought us joy and wisdom. I'm really bummed out. I want to cry but can't. Such a short life.

[FilmCreatureCom]

@maziyar What does Patrice Lumumba Malcolm O'Neal have to do with this? I hope he's recovering quickly by the way. Still no real updates.

[Maziyar]

Patrice Lumumba!!!

[tyweber88]

Both Bush and Obama are fuckin retards. I say we take them both out back and beat them with sticks...

[toria555]

@tyweber88 yep, Bush and Obama are 2 sides of the same coin. People are finally starting to wake up to the fact that the Democraps and Republotards are bought and owned by the same corporate interests.

[RMphilmacrac]

@toria555 can you explain that too me? im not really in the whole politics thing, it doesnt interest me but i like to learn.

[toria555]

@RMphilmacrac There are a couple of documentaries you can watch them here on Youtube one is called America: Freedom to Facism, the other is Zeitgeist Addendum.This is how I realized our presidents control nothing and they are actually puppets. It doesn't matter if they are Repub or Dem. They r bought and paid for by the same special interests..The other thing is to look at who funds their campaigns, the same banks that funded Bush's, funded Obama's & are now funding Romney's. Follow the money.

[dogbert3002]

@toria555 bush and obama are not the same. they are both highly beholden to corporate interests, but not to the same degree. the republicans are for NO taxes, medicaid, or social security. they want to entirely gut all federal entitlement programs, excluding corporate welfare. and every single republican touts that same party line, or a version of it. the democrats are not anywhere near as extreme, and they at least also have some serious dissenters, and have achieved some progress for people

[toria555]

@dogbert3002 It's too bad your are blinded by the garbage the mainstream media feeds you. How about that NDAA bill he just signed? After he was so adhemently against the Patriot Act, this is much worse. An American citizen can be detained indefinitely. Progress for the people, huh? Yeah, great progress...There is a good moving on Youtube called America: Freedom to Facism..See who really pulls the strings, it's not our presidents.

[dogbert3002]

@toria555 my bad, i didnt realize you were just a nutbag

[toria555]

@dogbert3002 It is your bad that you are an Obama zombie drone. Whenever someone is intellectually challenged they resort to name calling. Good job! Now go watch some more of the idiot box to take your marching orders.

[Falcor50]

More fun watching vid ver on chappel

[lastritesread]

I love his voice on this version! you can hear the pain in his voice, the feeling it gives! Priceless!!!

[freddythefish100]

@lastritesread thats how you sound after smoking weed bro.

[idderz]

Happy bday Wyclef :)

[severrnijKGU]

this song feels profusely patriotic, and i dont know why. an unbelieveably emotional song.

[ripskins21]

gives me the chills

[SwamiProphetOFWGKTA]

Was he in a Damian Marley song?

[CommunityLeverage]

Poor beats, vocal pitch. Good lyrics, tho!

[killu9191]

@CommunityLeverage where the fuck is the lyrics idoit

[RenMcAberae]

I'm sorry, but my buddy Joe's ''cover'' this is so amazinggg, possibly better.

POSSIBLY, before I get lynched(:

[numbriot]

@RenMcAberae nothing is better then this

[drizzy2134]

[alfareno]

[RenMcAberae]

@alfareno

[alfareno]

[RenMcAberae]

@alfareno

Seriouslyyy, that comment made my damn day<3

[LordofReach]

@alfareno Actually this version is not in the album !!

[ShadowFalcon2343]

Rebel music is always the best. Thumbs up or down I dont care just wanted to put my opinion out there

[mrteddy322]

is this version out for ipods?

[KingHaehl]

@mrteddy322 its a live version...so i think no :)

[showimprovement]

would vote for him!!!!

[TheBillyMaysShow]

he ran for president of haiti

[ballin121294]

thats the truth though

[TheDavid031589]

flv2mp3.com free music by link

[homeboy1989]

it boggles my mind thinking about how someone could dislike this

[careyinnc]

haha this i awesome

[bluex626]

Bush mess up everything and obama is just trying to clean it up

[hylianknight3]

@bluex626 finally someone who sees as i do :p

[Binochy77]

@bluex626 they both suck...face it....no ones perfect the world will never change nor be perfect. it can only get better.

[viggz78]

@bluex626 No bud, we the people messed it all up between our greed and apathy, we are all to blame for our situation. They are figureheads; it is the job of the people to check the abuses of big government and big business, and we failed. We created a culture that tried to emulate all the European bullshit we removed ourselves from and still somehow expected this great experiment to work, killing the dream before it could become reality. Now we need to take the power back!

[toria555]

@bluex626 Obama is making quite a mess himself....And no, I'm not a Bush fan either.

[bigbeasjj]

@toria555 what did obama do wrong

[toria555]

@bigbeasjj What has he done different from Bush? He's continued the wars, he's continued the bailouts and spending, now he just signed the NDAA bill that is worse than the patriot act.

[dogbert3002]

@toria555 it's a shame he has done such terrible things when he had a chance to do so much good. his repeated capitulations to some of the most extreme republican demands is disheartening, and his modest accomplishments are dwarfed in comparison. i will be voting for a third-party candidate in the upcoming election, although i hope an al gore/howard dean-type democrat will come along and get nominated in 2016

[toria555]

@dogbert3002 Yeah, I hear you. I'm voting for Ron Paul, if he doesn't get the nod then I'll probably vote for the Libertarian candidate, I'm hoping Gary Johnson will be the Libertarian Nominee, that will be my back up...I wish Kucinich would challenge Obama, I don't agree with alot of his domestic policy (I'm a free market, less socialism kinda girl), but I think he is definitely one of the more honest politicians we have.

[dogbert3002]

@toria555 ron paul is crazy, his economic policies have been proven wrong time and time again, and his attitude concerning civil and sexual liberties is frightening at best. and gary johnson? yeah, bush and obama have destroyed our schools enough already with their "school should be run like a business" attitude, and he's even more extreme

[toria555]

@dogbert3002 Ron Paul's economic policies have been proven wrong??? He was one of only 5 people that predicted the housing market crash. You can see for yourself on youtube. If there is one thing Paul is unquestionable is on economic policy. You should get off the idiot box long enough to look into the difference between Austrian and Keynesian economics..Here's a hint: All the Austrian economics predicted the housing crash.

[dogbert3002]

@toria555 go read krugman's dec. 15 G.O.P Monetary Madness ny times editorial. where's all the inflation austrian economics predicted because of the current government policy? yeah ron paul is a moron when it comes to economics, and obviously so are you

[toria555]

@dogbert3002 3 years ago Paul predicted the dollar crisis which is what we are having now. The inflation is high cuz of the bailouts & the endless printing of money. You can look up in Youtube Ron Paul dollar Crisis, their is a video of him on the Cavuto show in 2008 talkin about the deflation of the dollar and the inflation of prices. Like I said watch the movie:America: Freedom to Facism, if you aren't going to watch it & educate yourself then stop pretending you know what you're talkin about.

[dogbert3002]

@toria555 inflation isn't high. that's my point. that's one of the reasons austrian economics is wrong. nice job pretending to know what you were talking about, but you are just wrong

[toria555]

@dogbert3002 Inflation isn't high? Then I want to live you where you live. Because where I am, I am spending twice the amount on groceries and getting half of what I was getting just a couple years ago. So to those of us that have to buy our own groceries, inflation is high.

[toria555]

@toria555 I just checked the inflation rate at the end of 2010 it was 1.5%, it has more than doubled, it's currently 3.5%. Inflation rate isn't high huh?? Seriously dude, you really should educate yourself on this and stop using talking points form CNN and MSNBC.

[dogbert3002]

@toria555 consumer prices have risen just 4.5 percent, meaning there's been an average annual inflation rate of only 1.5 percent. (not 400 percent) nice try again though, but you really just have no idea what you are talking about. that's why you support ron paul.

[Roykynx]

@bluex626 lol, i guess its true what they say about Ignorance is bliss.

[whatsmyname83123]

I'm with voonstai* you can't be mad at one person

[lawrenjaylynn]

Wyclef for president!! we would do better than obama!!

[LaBloodyMARA]

@lawrenjaylynn do you want him to be assassinated

[Quakan1]

@lawrenjaylynn sorry he isn't American born so he's not even an option

[decooper0516]

Love this song

[doubledee1226]

Obama CAN'T fix 8years of mess bush made only in 4years!

[vividlee2sick]

Prolly my favorite song ever this touches me.Vote for Wyclef. Fight The Power!

[Voonstai]

i wish he'd really run for president...

[Jetmage123]

@Voonstai

Actually did run for president in Haiti

[Voonstai]

@Jetmage123 that's pretty cool... wish he could try in america. not that i have a problem with obama but i like wyclef's ideals better. he's very straight forward.

[cameldung34]

@Voonstai i have a prob with obama he made us in debt with china another 4 tril....

[Voonstai]

@cameldung34 that's not true at all. you need to do your research before you suggest things like that. if you can't find the proper information to disprove that i'll gladly share it with you. the fact of the matter is that while george bush was in office he didn't keep the war on the books. most of our recorded troubles come from obama, yes, but that doesn't negate the fact that we were put more into debt by bush than any other president in history. this is truth.

[cameldung34]

@Voonstai ye if obama keeps doing wht he is doing china will own us with as much debt as we have...

[Voonstai]

@cameldung34 once again you're missing the point... Obama hasn't put us in the majority of our debt. so don't slander our president if you don't know the information.

[SantaClaauz]

@Jetmage123 O_o really?

[Technotron42]

Who gives a fuck if they use the chords of another song. NEWS FLASH! Half of all songs use the same fucking chords.

[MrVarsityLevel]

Its not that big of a deal just listen to the music jeez

[welcomehome901]

The guitar riff is stolen from Downface's "Alone", another instance of Wyclef biting.

[TheMetalsuperray]

@welcomehome901 shut up it wasnt stolen if he paid for it

[welcomehome901]

@TheMetalsuperray There is no indication that Wyclef paid for the sample from either Downface's "Alone" or Candlebox' "Cover Me". Listen to either of those songs and tell me he didn't use those riffs.

[backpacking15]

You shouldn't give a fuck, its not like you live in a third world country. Give it up and enjoy life. Enjoy the music, that's all I'm here for, don't make everything about hate.

[backpacking15]

For real though dude, life is too short to bitch your whole life. If you really give a fuck about it then read in to it more, don't bitch like a pussy.

[TheMrChad77]

quit talkin bout race. prejudice exists because you create it....everyone. just listen...and enjoy...music is something to unite us...not divide us.

[backpacking15]

Government doesn't write the textbooks you dumbfuck. You think our government is fucked, move to North Korea, or China, you hippie idiots. Freedom can't be free, there would be revolts and riots if the people knew everything the government did to protect this countries well being. Go ahead and go against our government, not like it'll make a change you idiots. Other than the lyrics, this guy has amazing vocals.

[NorthCitySider]

@backpacking15

Do you really think the government is trying to protect this country? Fuck you and you deserve everything bad that happens to you.

[techmosis]

@backpacking15 I don't think you know what the department of education is, but yes they do, through circles of influence and approval. And our Education system was merged with the soviet system for political reasons. Everyday schools become more and more consolidated - one thought process. Standardized everything, dumbed down everything. Parroting- that is what the current education system is. History is one sided. Literature is defined. Art is told. You're taught never to question authority.

[79tazman]

@backpacking15 how about the things the goverment covers up to protect there own ass and you talk about the countries well being lmao

[draciel80]

love this song

i noticed that the chord progressions are almost exactly the same as Alone by Downface

[SantaClaauz]

this is the best audio I've seen for this song but I just wish it had the video

[paulous071]

[carcarooo]

[Th3newWORLDord3r]

i think it because they try to use... "tachnical terms"

[randyjoelmedina]

@Revolution2pointO

WYCLEF FOR PRESIDENT

[MrZigzag81]

If I was President, I'd smoke a blunt to this song ")

I believe it takes greatness to make music with such meaning behind it.

[supachito]

this song is forever in my head due to the fact that i raped the repeat button :P

[AODSylvana8266]

I was just told the truth. This man is a genius. Excellent poet. Maybe not the best singer, but I couldn't imagine anyone else singing this song. Amazingly good. :)

[jrtmoneyman]

The realist words every to come out of someones mouth
