VOTE BARACK OBAMA 2008 Dedicated to Barack Obama, the only presidential candidate who opposed the Iraq War from the beginning. C-Dubb performs at the UC Student of Color Conference, hosted by UC Santa Cruz. LYRICS Yo Mr. President, Yo, yo Mr. president You stole the election then Drove us into a deficit You told us there were weapons in Iraq wit false intelligence No evidence Now theres 3000 dead veterans And when the polls show You a flop like Kevin Federline You laugh like this is Letterman And act like it's irrelevant You can try to frighten us with your rhetoric Well I'll say what I gotta say, its C-DuuuuuB! Yo Mr. President- You setting the wrong precedents Crusading into Arab nations, Like we Heaven-Sent "It's Good versus Evil" So "We the People" must represent Go get your sons and daughters To send to slaughter, no questioning "Lets get em boys! Give em a taste of their own medicine! Saddam has some bombs, got some bad bad weapons there!" "But Bush!.." nah there'll br no second-guessing him And if you caught protesting him They send you in for questioning Then, the detain time- is indefinite So watch out who you messin wit Dem boys in blue be listening Them Government spies is searching through your messages Rejecting all our rights then Claim that they protectin them Mean time, teens die in this land we should never have been steppin in And they still cant tell us where the hell those "weapons" went?! They caught up in their lies But still there's no correctin them They still blame Nine Eleven Which, never was connected with This misadventure of a war built on misconceptions, Disguised lies, political crimes and misdirection. This fear and this conception that we gotta go get him, Or else we'll be the victims again and let the terrorists win Is this a mission for them-- them women, children and men, Of a land so strange and far away, Or is this revenge? Either way we can't stay the course we're in Too many lost lives from this war we're in! On both sides, so I pick up my pen And hope I, with dope rhymes, can help the healing begin But to speak truth to power you dont need a beat I'm tellin You- go to the polls and vote pro-peace Cuz this aint no cartoon, naw this is 3D This war got our soldiers sleepin six feet deep.. So who's the true terrorists here? Whose threatening our rights and scaring us here? Red alert level's at an all time high So vote Republican or we're all gone die! HA We let them make this happen Step up and take some action There is a way to change our current direction Vote someone pro-peace in the '08 election. VOTE BARACK OBAMA 2008

Jul 9, 2008 - Why are you responding to a joke with serious commentary. THAT'S WHAT'S STUPID. And just to humor you, if the President was a Muslim, that doesn't mean that each citizen has to be. LOL

Jul 11, 2008 - you say in the info that obama was the only one to not vote for iraq in the beginning. it is because he is a muslim, why would he want to attack his own people. common sense. you liberals are retarded. if obama wins we are all going to be wearing turbins. The guy has a horrible upbringing and is not qualified to be elected. period

Jul 12, 2008 - obama isnt muslim, he's a member of the United Church of Christ, my own denomination. Stop believing everything you see on FOX news.

Sep 16, 2008 - you AND the person who made this video is wrong. It's not about "don't kill people". Obama said (in politician's terms) he wants Osama Bin Laden and Al-Quida dead. And BTW he was admittedly a Muslim a few years ago but changed long before striving to be elected in 2008. So he WAS a Muslim but isn't now. It's his own supporters that chant "peace" without mentioning Afghanistan that are the problem, they give conservatives wrong impressions of him. I'm voting Obama. Not his misguided supporters.
TheJazzyMan1988 Says:
Sep 16, 2008 - P.S. he wants out of Iraq cuz he doesn't give a fuck about Iraq. Neither do I. "Don't help them don't hurt them" and hope they sort out their own differences, if not sucks for them, if so well I'll toast to it, but not worth our troop's blood. If we'd just gone in and killed Al-Quida and Bin Laaden 50, 60 of our troops would die TOPS. And tens of thousands of Al-Quida would be dead. 9/11 revenge is a GOOD thing, righteous revenge is what we NEED not what we have now.
