A Message to Barack Obama
(Desmond Dekker/ Evan Eleven)

Oh-Oh-Seven
Oh-Oh-Seven
did he plan Nine-Eleven?
or was it the C.I.A.?
they will never say
or was it the N.S.A.?
they will never say

Osama Bin Laden
Osama Bin Laden
no he was not robbin'
from your pocket book
no, you know it was Bush
no, you know it was Bush
no, you know it was Bush

Nero fiddled while Rome was burning
Nero fiddled while Rome was burning
with every mistake we must surely be learning
with every mistake we must surely be learning

Oh Barack Obama
oh Barack Obama
when the Dalai Lama
came to see you
oh what did you do?
i think you're guilty too
i think you're phony too

Yo! i'm broke but i ain't broken, i speak what goes unspoken
so fuck Barack Obama! i say he's just a token
if you think he's for real then i don't know what yer smokin'
and you know i ain't jokin' because i come from Oakland
and 2009 was born under a bad sign
young Oscar Grant was cut down in his prime
he didn't do no crime, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time
and now all his brothers and sisters are cryin'
and the police slime who shot him in the back-
his trial moved to L.A. and the jury was stacked
and the windows was cracked and the kids was attacked
with too much racial hate between the white and the black
then in 2010 it was the same shit again
with no justice system we can never win
and i think it's a sin with my eyes washed in tears
'cos the murderous pig only got two years
then 2011 and 2012
will he go to heaven? will we go to hell?
oh Barack Obama- we breakin' yer spell
yes! Barack Obama- pray can you tell
oh Barack Obama- now i ask you what
about the Patriot Act and the Bush tax cuts?
it seems to me yer a whore and a slut
oh Barack Obama- who cut off yer nuts?

Nero fiddled while Rome was burning
Nero fiddled while Rome was burning
with every mistake we must surely be learning
with every mistake we must surely be learning

Oh Barack Obama- a message to you
oh Barack Obama- a message to you
oh Barack Obama- a message to you
oh Barack Obama- a message to you
