BARACK THE VOTE! Original Barack Obama Rap Song

United States Senator from Illinois
Spent his days in Honolulu as a little boy
Graduated from Columbia and Harvard Law
Started workin' in Congress and saw too many flaws
He's on the campaign trail cause Bush is leavin'
Barack Obama's bringin' change we can believe in

He showed his face to the world in 2004
Unlike his current competition, he opposed the war
It's not a fairy tale at all, he said it'd be a mistake
So let's elect this man to face McCain and have the debate.

Transparency in government and ethics reform
Consensus building, that's a stray from the norm
Bipartisan leadership, let's come together
And step by step change this nation for the better

So quickly Obama gained celebrity status
Fame can be fleeting but his message withstands us
Nothing worthwhile happens without hope
So get out there yall and Barack the vote

Barack the vote. Barack the vote. Barack the vote. Barack the vote.

Ted Kennedy is Barackin' the vote. Oprah Winfrey is Barackin' the vote. Maria Shriver is Barackin' the vote. Will Smiff is Barackin' the vote. George Clooney is Barackin' the vote. Halle Berry is Barackin' the vote. Matt Damon is Barackin' the vote. Zach Braff is Barackin' the vote. Hulk Hogan is Barackin' the vote. Morgan Freeman is Barackin' the vote. Jennifer Aniston is Barackin' the vote. Eddie Murphy is Barackin' the vote. Dr. J. is Barackin' the vote.
Colin Powell is Barackin' the vote. We are Barackin' the vote. And you...should Barack the vote.

Tell the special interest groups to keep their money
Cause that corruption ain't gon' fly into his white house honey.
I'm sick and tired of hearing that he's just too green
Our judgment is what matters, if ya know what I mean?
Lincoln lacked experience and did all right
He picked up the phone when it was ringin' at night.
I think it's high time to end the silly season
So step up to the plate, or step down with good reason
Barack Obama can unify the division
With his rhetoric, speeches, and hopeful vision
And if they claim he can't because he's just too verde
His voters will say, "Yes we can! Se se puede!"

Yall take similar stances on a lot of the issues
But he gets my vote so lemme offer a tissue
You claim your years of work will mean the nation is safer
But where are your all records and your white house papers?
Where are your earmarks? You've failed to release.
Your excuses are old! Just show us the beef!
Gotta keep things honest just like Anderson Cooper
Pullin' 360's leavin' Hill in a stupor
She found her voice and then she said, "Shame on you!"
But she's withholding information so shame on her, too!
And all her dirty tactics do the party no good
Using fear instead of merit to get votes like she should
I know the race is a game, and she plays it well
Is she uniting or dividing? It's hard to tell
You're always knockin' Barack with all your cynicism
So let me offer you constructive criticism
Stop acting like the victim with your media fellows
Barack is doin' fine, he doesn't need a pillow
You run the attack ads, you're slingin' the mud
We're on the same team girl! Try showin' some love!
If you want my vote, then start bein' truthful
'bout those 35 years you say you bring to the table
You weren't commander-in-chief, you weren't callin' the shots
You were more of spokeswoman, were you not?
So please let us know, what are your qualifications?
Years in elected office and legislation
Cause you can talk the talk, but you're not walkin' the walk
Until you prove it to America that you got it in stock
But let's get back to Barack, cause when I look at my watch
I want him in the white house when it reads 3 o'clock
Ring ring ring ring tick tock tick tock
Obama's at your service and he's ready to rock
The man is fired up and he's ready to go
I believe him when he's says there's nothin' false about hope!
But don't get it twisted, I got mad respect
Cause Hill's a real strong woman and she's smart as heck
But it's time for change, it's time to turn the page
It's time to lose old ways, it's time for brighter days
This is our moment, this is our time
We gotta make a choice, and Obama is mine
Politics as usual has got to go
So get out there yall and Barack the vote.
