[Lowkey, Black The Ripper, M-1, Lupe Fiasco, 2Pac - Obama Nation Part 3 lyrics]
Worldwide revolution going
InIn my opinion the young generation of
White, black, brown, whatever else there is
Your living at a time of extremism
A time of revolutionWhat is revolting
A game? A power structure
The American power structure? No the
French power structure? No
Then what power structure? An international
Western power structure and
I for one will join in with anyone
Don't care what you are as long
As you wanna change this miserable condition
That exist on this earth
There's got to be a change
People in power have miss-used, and
Now there has to be a change, and
A better world has to be built
And the only way it's going to be built is
With extreme method so what you and I
Have got to do is get involved you and
I have to be right there breathing
Down there throat every-time they
Look over their shoulders, we want
Them to see us once those
Intentions have made notice, we can't to the
Navy- of the problem
We can get to to the core of
The problem, we can get to
The root of the problem
And then we can correct the problem
I don’t, I don’t want no, Obama, Obama Nation
I’m not gonna, vote for your inauguration
Cause I don’t need your, Obama, Obama Nation
I’m not gonna
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed
Obama didn’t say shit
Heavenly Father may I holla at you briefly
I wanna meet the President
But will he meet me?
He's scared to look inside the
Eyes of a Thug Nigga
We tired of being scapegoats for
This capitalistic drug dealing
How hypocritical is Liberty?
That blind bitch ain't never did shit for me
My history, full of casket and scars
My own black nation at war
Whole family behind bars
And they wonder why we scarred
Thirteen looking hard
Sister had a baby as an adolescent
Where was God?
Somewhere in the middle of my mind
Is a nigga on the tightrope
Screaming "Let him die"
Can't lie I'm a thug
Drowning in my own blood
Looking for the reason that my
Momma's strung out on drugs
Figure if we high they can train us
But then America fucked up and blamed us
Down to die, for everything I represent
Meant every word
In my letter to the President
After you divorce yourself from
The right wing propaganda campaign
It’s all simple and plain
America customed the game
Your President got an African name
Now who you gonna blame?
When they drop them bombs out of them planes
Using depleted uranium
Babies looking like two headed aliens
Follow the money trail it
Leads to the criminal
Ain’t nothing subliminal to it
That’s how they do it
See they game they run
Give a fuck if he’s cunning
Articulate and handsome
Afghanistan held for ransom
By the hand of this black man
Neo-colonial puppet
White power with a black face
He said fuck it i’ll do it
A master of disguise, expert at telling lies
Then they gave him a Nobel Peace Price
Should of known he was trained in Chicago
Word to Chairmen Freddy, Mark Clark
What they do in the dark will
Come out in the light like a WikiLeaks site
So I guess Nkrumah was right
Who’s ready to fight?
Last stage of imperialism, I ain’t kiddin
In the immortal words of Marvin
Gaye ‘This ain’t living’
O-B-A-M-A you ain’t fooling everyone
I see the games you play
You was VIP at the BIC
And we know that’s code name for CIA
The same way your cameras are watching us
We’re watching you
Think we’re easy to control you
Ain’t got a clue revolutions on the way
Let’s see what you're gonna do
You gonna send the troops? You
Gonna drop the nukes?
See it’s not where you’re from
It’s where you’re at
He’s sitting in the White House
So who cares if he’s black?
And why’s there still soldiers
Out there in Iraq?
Natural resources ain’t yours, it's theirs
Give it back! You’re just another puppet but
I’m not surprised
Look at Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice
They didn’t change shit
House nigga’s fresh off the slave ship
You’ll all burn in hell even Michelle
Obama Nation
I really think the war on terror
Is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to
Use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to
Really make a full clip? 9
11, building 7, did they really pull it?
Uh, and a bunch of other coverups
Your child's future was the first
To go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts, then wait
Here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place
That's on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease
You with the upper crust
You get it, then they move it
So you never keeping up enough
If you turn on TV
All you see's a bunch of "what the fucks"
Dude is dating so and so
Blabbering 'bout such and such
And that ain't Jersey Shore, homey
That's the news
And these the same people supposedly
Telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed
Obama didn’t say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him
Next one either i’m a part of the problem
My problem is I’m peaceful
And I believe in the people, yeah
Was the bigger threat from
Osama or from Obama?
Military bases from Chagos to Okinawa
I say things that other rappers won’t say
Cause my mind never closed
Like Guantanamo Bay
Hope you didn’t build a statue
Or tattoo you arm cause the drones are still
Flying over Pashtunistan
Did he defend the war? No! He extended more
He even had the time to
Attempt a coup in Ecuador
Morales and Chavez
The state’s are on a hunt for ya
Military now stationed on bases in Columbia
Take a trip to the past and
Tell em I was right
Ask Ali Abunimah or Jeremiah Wright
Drones over Pakistan, Yemen and Libya
Is Obama the bomber getting ready for Syria?
First black president, the masses were hungry
But the same president just
Bombed an African country
The Jonas Brothers are here
They're out there somewhere
Sasha and Malia are huge fans
But, boys don't get any ideas
I have two words for you: PREDATOR DRONES
You will never see it coming
(Audience Laughter) you think I'm joking?
