Dear Obama(Jay-Z's "Dear Summer")

Intro Talking:
Man,I was just going through some old emails and stuff when I stumbled across this old conversation that I had with RhymeFest about Barack Obama on my Myspace!It was crazy!Dude was saying that I was overly anti-government, and that I was about to miss out on an important chapter in African American history because of this anti-American stance!I ain’t anti-American homie!I just wanted to address that!

[Verse]
Dear Obama,I hope your ears are listening homie,
Before it’s over,we’ll make history homie,
I just wanted to make one thing clear,
All my peoples right here,
Backing you up,
So please don’t throw us under the bus,
Like you did to Jeremiah,
Farrakhan,
The homie Tavis Smiley,
But the movement we carry on,
I’m quite sure you’re not aware
I might say nigga in every song that I’ve made,
But I represent the streets,
So my dues gotta be paid,
A million brothers marching the roads
Martin has paved,
But by any means like Malcolm,
Let me predict the outcome,
I pray that racist thinking won’t rewrite this story,
But let me first give God the glory,
I’m here to represent the Most High,
There’s not a chance that goes by,
For my people,
I raise a right fist up to the sky,
The ghetto’s steady grieving,
But these tears we won’t cry,
The struggles real for 500 years,
That’s no lie,
Your presence is the stir of a country based on divide,
Don’t let me forget the conquer,
Let me finish my tantrum,
With every day we’re birthing a new breed of these monsters,
These Nazis planning a movement,
So where’s your guns sir,
Huh,guess who’s back,
Got to paperstack my celery,
Pardon me for my melody,
A nigga won’t be voting for shit if they’ve got a felony,
They’re pulling stunts in the booths,
So what you telling me,
I had this same convo with RhymeFest,
He said my views were based on the same stance that denies stress,uh
In simpler terms I’m bullheaded,
But I feel this way cause so many leaders have bullshitted,
Now I don’t knock the call of this man,
I’m full with it,
But consider every woman and man that SHOULD get it,
I represent the hustlers,
On the block on their pivot,
And the single parent homes where bills will push you to the limit,
Now I don’t need no votes,
And this is far from a gimmick,
Cause I speak for Jena 6 where the hangings they still mimic,
Yeah,thought I forgot about the plot that killed Kenneth,
With a single shot,
They blew off his top,
You must be kidding,(They’re not homie)
But still we keep winning,
Sign the biggest deals,
The illest of wheels we keep spinning,
I do this for the fact that my people got thick skin and,
But the world is full of pimps,
So the Devil,he keeps grinning,
Barack!

[Talking]
Dear Obama,don’t take this as a dis homie,
I’m all about brothers making new history,
But more importantly,I’m more about preserving the history and struggles of my people!Ya know,I just wanted a chance to speak on it.Peace.
