If I Was President

Wyclef Jean

Emi       G
If I was president
                   Ami    C
I?d get elected on Friday 
                Emi      G
Assassinated on Saturday 
           Ami  C
Buried on Sunday

         Emi       G
If I was President 
         Ami       C
If I was President 

           Emi  G
An old man told me
                    Ami             C
Instead of spendin' billions on the war
       Emi              G
We can use some of that money
       Ami    C
In the Ghetto 
               Emi  G
I know some so poor
        Ami                     C
When it rains, that's when they shower
                    Emi  G
Screamin? fight the power
       Ami                      C
That's when the vault should devour

If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president
If I was president
If I was president

But the radio won?t play this
They call it rebel music
How can you refuse it
Children of Moses

If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president

Tell the children the truth, the truth
Christopher Columbus didn't discover America
Tell them the truth, the truth, yeah!
Tell them about Marcus Garvey
Tell the children the truth, yeah, the truth
Tell them about Martin Luther King
Tell them the truth, the truth
Tell the about Che Heskey

If I was president
If I was president
Elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president
