And the first song on it would've been from Ghostface's Supreme Clientele; We Made It.
Barack Obama's going to the White House. I seen it coming and the media couldn't do a thing to dampen the people's voices or votes. I watched coverage all over the place and over here it was giving these numbers with this commentary, while over there they were telling another story. Regardless, he's in. And Americans can feel proud because Obama fixed the system. Democracy works again.
My concern is over my brothers, sisters, and I. I hope we don't crab-in-a-bucket the brother. He's inheriting an economic, military, and social quagmire. GWBush walked into office without any war or deficit. In fact he was given a huge surplus to work with and basically used it to start a war. It can be conceded that 9/11 was a challenge, but look how he handled that. But the brothers...
We as black people need to realize that Obama is not our free ride. In addition to that Obama owes us nothing. He's a politician, and now a president(-elect). He's got his game to play. Considering the condition of the playing field, his equipment and the other team, I think we need to cut him a lot of slack if he makes some errors. He didn't make it to the White House by promising that every black American will finally get their 40 acres and a mule. Let him do what he's supposed to; allow Americans, regardless of race, color, or creed, to be proud of their leader, their country and themselves. Obama! (7)
