LYRICS
Yo Mr. President,
Yo, yo Mr. president
You stole the election then
Drove us into a deficit

You told us there were weapons in
Iraq wit false intelligence
No evidence
Now theres 3000 dead veterans

And when the polls show
You a flop like Kevin Federline
You laugh like this is Letterman
And act like it's irrelevant

You can try to frighten us with your rhetoric
Well I'll say what I gotta say,
its C-DuuuuuB!

Yo Mr. President-
You setting the wrong precedents
Crusading into Arab nations,
Like we Heaven-Sent

"It's Good versus Evil"
So "We the People" must represent
Go get your sons and daughters
To send to slaughter, no questioning

"Lets get em boys! Give em a taste of their own medicine!
Saddam has some bombs, got some bad bad weapons there!"

"But Bush!.." nah there'll br no second-guessing him
And if you caught protesting him
They send you in for questioning

Then, the detain time-
is indefinite
So watch out who you messin wit
Dem boys in blue be listening

Them Government spies is
searching through your messages
Rejecting all our rights then
Claim that they protectin them

Mean time, teens die in this land we should never have been steppin in
And they still cant tell us
where the hell those "weapons" went?!

They caught up in their lies
But still there's no correctin them
They still blame Nine Eleven
Which, never was connected with

This misadventure of a war built on misconceptions,
Disguised lies, political crimes and misdirection.
This fear and this conception that we gotta go get him,
Or else we'll be the victims again and let the terrorists win

Is this a mission for them-- them women, children and men,
Of a land so strange and far away, Or is this revenge?
Either way we can't stay the course we're in
Too many lost lives from this war we're in!

On both sides, so I pick up my pen
And hope I, with dope rhymes, can help the healing begin

But to speak truth to power you dont need a beat
I'm tellin You- go to the polls and vote pro-peace
Cuz this aint no cartoon, naw this is 3D
This war got our soldiers sleepin six feet deep..

So who's the true terrorists here?
Whose threatening our rights and scaring us here?
Red alert level's at an all time high
So vote Republican or we're all gone die! HA

We let them make this happen
Step up and take some action
There is a way to change our current direction
Vote someone pro-peace in the '08 election.
