This song is for my mama<br />
This song is for you<br />
<br />
Hey MrPresident<br />
Tomorrow I'm paying my rent<br />
My fuel is runnin' low<br />
And I've got places to go<br />
Quit slowin' me down<br />
<br />
Can we talk about the education of our children?<br />
A book is worth more than a bomb any day<br />
And remember a mirror to Africa<br />
Who will bring the cure before it's too late<br />
<br />
Don't you see the hurt in their eyes?<br />
So much disappointment in many faces<br />
Use your heart and not your pride<br />
We can't go on and keep pretending<br />
<br />
Please MrPresident<br />
Where's all the money you spent<br />
Food is fallin' low<br />
And they have nowhere to go<br />
Quit slowin' me down<br />
<br />
I ask you to have mercy on us, father<br />
You think we know the rules by now<br />
We can't go starting wars with hearts of hatred<br />
Out nations greed won't make it better<br />
Or quiet the fears in our hearts<br />
<br />
Don't you see the hurt in their eyes?<br />
So much disappointment in all of their faces<br />
Use your heart and not your pride<br />
We can't go on and keep pretending<br />
<br />
Oh please, MrPresident<br />
<br />
Dear MrPresident<br />
I hope you got the letter I sent<br />
A dollar only goes so far<br />
And we need help here<br />
No matter who we are<br />
<br />
See we come from different worlds<br />
And different places<br />
Until there's one great land<br />
One nation under God<br />
<br />
Times are getting harder<br />
And we need you to be like Moses<br />
And lead your people through<br />
Please be careful, be careful<br />
Of what you do, what you do
