mr. president (you're the man) - headshots lyrics

[brother ali]
faheem come in here man
come in here i want you to see this on tv
baby he won, he won man
barack obama won, he’s the president
i mean we still have a lot of work to do brother but i wan’t you to remember how you feel right now man
remember that you were alive for this man this is really big my dude
haha he won!

[brother ali]
stand on your feet the new black commander in chief
you see the voice of the people can’t be defeated
we got together and demanded what we needed
the masters of suffering gotta have some relief
no more relaxing in that p-ssenger seat, this is
our country and our chance to redeem it
i got to pinch myself i can’t believe it
we made history happen and you seen it
we weren’t supposed to put that man in that seat
we’re supposed to be divided by scare tactics and greed
like the most a black kid could ever be
is rappers and athletes or selling crack on the streets
but now’s the time to rise and shine
we all unite behind america’s brightest mind
i’m getting goosebumps writing this rhyme
almost feels like we got it right this time
come on!

{chorus – marvin g-ye sample}
they’re talking, talking to the people
trying, to get them to go your way
telling us not to worry
except we won’t be led astray
i’ve got the vote for you
i’ve got the vote for you
you’re the man

[brother ali]
i seen white folks confronting their neighbors
about that old racist mccain sh-t
out in front of where they live
the first time in my generation
this nation has had this real race conversation
and then i saw obama’s fundraising
groundbreaking, and found out where it came from
not corporations but real folks donating
i’m mean i seen thugs reading newspapers!
people in the street who been ignored for so long
that they never saw reason at all to get involved
start stepping forth, became a heavy force
and made their voice change the presidential course
they never used to give a f-ck
now they know they got a visit us
at least they know they gotta listen up
tell them old heads the jig is up
you will never get elected again without us
come on!

{chorus}

[brother ali]
of course i know that
the real war for being free isn’t over
every leader need a team of true soldiers
and once man can’t change the world from his office
in order to do that we gotta all get on our sh-t
we gotta raise our kids
take the revolution we started
pick up where we left off and don’t quit
don’t care what the cost is
combine forces with your sisters and brothers
and pool your resources
of course it’s great barack’s in
but now we all got to win
let’s have a campaign to change us from within
rely on each other we ain’t gotta trust them
our heart’s been broken by the country within
but today i got my hand on my heart
i might go and plant a flag in my yard
man f-ck it!
two years of saying ‘yes we can’
and today barack obama’s the man
you gotta love it!

{chorus}
