Wyclef Jean - Election Time lyrics
[Wyclef Jean - Election Time lyrics]
My generation like, we okay
As long as we got music
We gon' dance all day
He gon' vote Taylor Swift
She gon' vote Kanye-Ye-Ye
Election time is coming, come on
We okay, as long as we got music
We gon' party all day she gon' vote U2
He gon' vote Coldplay-Play-Play
Election time is coming, come on
Immigration, socialism, capitalism, racism
Health care, welfare, seems like nobody cares
(Come on)
Big business, corporation, small business
Taxation
Unemployment, education, my generation
Go to space station, so when you Google Earth
You can see all the Haitians
As they rebuild they nation
With fair trade, everybody trade
You trade, I trade and everybody get paid
Election time around the corner
Who you gonna vote for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
What you gon' fight for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
Who you gon' vote for? (We okay)
Election time is coming
Do you want peace or war? (Come on)
Alternative energy or oil in your SUV
Tell me what you lookin' for
We about to have a poll
Gun control, infrastructure, agriculture
Manufacture hip-hop be my culture
Tell me what you think about it (Come on)
Technology, your foreign policy
I need to bailout money
To stimulate the economy
Raise our family values
My life be my testament king had a dream
And you too can be the president
Election time around the corner
Who you gonna vote for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
What you gon' fight for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
Who you gon' vote for? (We okay)
Election time is coming
Do you want peace or war?
But the kids like, we okay
As long as we got music
We gon' dance all day
He gon' vote Taylor Swift
She gon' vote Kanye-Ye-Ye
Election time is coming
But the kids like (Come on) , we okay
As long as we got music

(I know election time is almost here)
You know what? (What?)
Why don't you kick some of that
Stuff I grew up on?
You know what I'm talking 'bout?
(I gotchu) , yeah
Gramps was a voodoo priest
Dad was a preacher
Uncle was a Mason, I was raised Christian
Best friend Muslim, as-salamu alaykum
My manager was Jewish
He taught me shabbat shalom
Flatbush Rastas taught me The Scriptures
Haile Salassie, Marcus Garvey
Saint Louverture, Haitian Revolution
Napoleon's army got spanked by them Haitians
Toussaint St jean with the info
Did you know that a Haitian founded Chicago?
If I was President
The first thing I would do is
Get my people out the tents
Election time is coming
My generation like, we okay
As long as we got music
We gon' dance all day
He gon' vote Taylor Swift
She gon' vote Kanye-Ye-Ye
Election time is coming
All you kids like, we okay
As long as we got music
We gon' party all day she gon' vote U2
He gon' vote Coldplay-Play-Play
Election time is coming
I wanna thank y'all for coming to see me here
(yeah) you could've been anywhere
But, you chose to come to the
Haitian experience to see us (yeah)
I go by the name of Wyclef Jean
Straight from Haiti
And that's my brother Sedeck on the drums
Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?
