about

Presidential politics in 2008 were a time of great pride, joy and hope for the nation. For about five minutes. Then it turned.

lyrics

It would be so perfect if she kicked his behind
I knew that y'all would change your minds
It would be so perfect if she kicked his behind

And I'm kicking myself
My red white and blue girl was just a tease
I should have known.

It would be so perfect if she kicked his behind

You tried to sell him in 0-4
but you was just selling yourself
As the true red and white and blue
and ebony and ivory kumbaya
You the auctioneer the overseer
I didn't have the scratch
to match the high bid

If you truly do not see no color
Why you always try to sell a brother - up until the
Talking head total hacks talking smack
with the fake facts
Made him more black
gave you a heart attack

Talking smack bout God and country
Every day it gets more ugly
Should I step outside the center or
Fight like hell to redefine it?
What should I say? What should I do?
Can any of y'all handle the truth?

Or is it just typical reaction typical distraction
Talk about so-called in the affirmative action
You scared of reparation retribution black revolution
While Dick and your boy George eat the Constitution
You fear a black golden rule
To make you fuss and cuss
If it do unto y'all what y'all been doin' to us
Back of the bus. Back of the bus.
Back of the bus. Doin' to y'all what y'all been
Doing to Afghanistan
Doing to Iraq Iran
Half full half a man
Half empty half-rican
No we cain't, yes we can
Kick the can American

Kick the can.

It would be so perfect if she kicked his behind
Excuse me while I lose my mind
It would be so perfect if she kicked his behind
