Mr. President-Elect
\nMakes me wanna get MY stuff
\ncorrect<\/p>\n
I feel like starting with something RADICAL
\nLike,
\nLove my Neighbor
\nLike share what I’ve got
\nLike think for myself
\nLike ask the hard questions
\nLike lean toward the good and help keep the peace<\/p>\n
U being U
\nMakes me wanna do something new
\nLike Go Green, or at least try to.<\/p>\n
You being you, Mr. President-Elect
\nMakes me want to look on others with respect
\nMakes me wanna
\npractice Radical Inclusion, you know,
\nOpen my heart wide, especially in the presence of folks who
\nAre not like me, you know,
\nwork to see my Brother
\nIn the Other
\nYou make me want to entertain all my far-out ideas
\nMake me wanna represent the race, as in the human race,
\nAnd know that, like You, I too am Prized.<\/p>\n
And to those who say yr a Magic Negro,
\nI love them just the same
\nAnd my love helps us weave a United States.<\/p>\n
Mr. President,
\nHeaven sent
\nSince heaven is just a place where possibility
\nbecomes possible
\nAnd where hostility
\nholsters
\nits hostile,
\nI feel like picking up the trash in the park or on the beach
\nI think I’ll teach, and learn, from all I meet
\nI think I’ll apologize in person for all our faults
\nand try to make amends for our shortcomings
\nAnd also, I think,
\nI’ll brag,
\nJust a little bit,
\nAbout how cool We The People are<\/p>\n
Oh, I just had to sing you a little something
\nBecause you,
\nMr. President,
\nYou are embarking with Us on an awesome and beautiful
\nAnd potentially perilous journey
\nAnd so I am giving you
\nAll the Love
\nAll the Love
\nAll the Love
\nAll the Love
\nMr. President
\nThat I’ve got
\nBecause I believe
\nIn the dream
\nAnd I am ready
\nTo wake up
\nAnd live it.<\/p>\n
