Mr President
Every day the news by best jailor
Since my hours run fast through the sweat
To put comas in the bills every month
And fill the never full belly engine
In the midst of the crowd they said
That’s why I wonna see and hear it myself
So from my coach I will listen Mr. President
You said you are the head we form the rest
Guess at the nails you will easily locate me
You start the heading we complete the essay
You alone with your men its cumbersome
You need the millions to move the rail
For our coin to strengthen against the dollar
So from my coach I will listen Mr. President
It’s a bit hot and greasy down here
Our sweat mixed creates killing bugs
Take your coach and listen Mr. President
A list from my local club slowly unveiled
Maybe you can roar from the high seat
And scare the bugs itching our skin
So from your coach listen Mr. President
Our mothers still die on the hallways
Nurses say you stingy for their quality
That private clinic they all labour there
And in your general place, their pity serves
Our babies are examples for best idiots
For classes too congested for one teacher
From your coach listen Mr. President
Other brothers now with sluggish talk and walk
Glue, liquor and puffs been their daily sacrament
No law feared since your men got deep pockets
Uncles killing our fathers for an acre even less
Hearken rural urbanization, I have a degree
For a ranch in favour to dad I will buy
From your coach listen Mr. President
My list is endless and your ears go tire
So the rest I will copy to your deputy
When alone you two wine and dine
Let it top your priority menu
That zealous sleepless citizens you lead
For their country’s love they support you
For a word you say, they work it farther
Off the coaches, lets act Mr. President
