Dear Mr. President with all due respect I wish we could have a conversation I would take a trip done to your residence So we could talk about the state of the nation Mr. President I would ask you about the war Really and truly what is it for? When an IE D makes a soldier fall Is he dyin'' for somethin' above us all? Is it all about oil at end of the day? Is the pledge of allegiance just something say? I hope not I love The USAIn spite of all drama we have today Mr. President are you aware Our flesh and blood is dying over there When the coffins come back Do you care? When only the poor kids die Is it fair?[Chorus] [Wyclef Jean] If I could talk to the PresidentWould he pay attention really listen? If I said something intelligent Would he be willing to change his position? Now it's time time time For me to speak my mind mind mind[Verse 2][LL Cool J] Don't get me wrong I respect the flag But it hurts to see a kid in a body bag He fought for his country with all he had Now we have a family without a dad Lil mama cryin' the kids are scared9/11 why we were unprepared? Mr. President, Are you aware unless you're rich, you have poor health care It makes you scream and want to pull out your hair Discharged from hospitals soon as you get there. Mr. President truth or dare Terrorist is hiding do you know where? Illegal immigrants are everywhere Is it really their fault they wanted to come here? I respect you please be clear Talk with me Show the people you care[Chorus][Wyclef Jean] If I could talk to the PresidentWould he pay attention really listen? If I said something intelligent Would he be willing to change his position? Now it's Time time time For me to speak my mind mind mind[Bridge][Wyclef Jean] What am I to do I've been waitin' on you Tell me something that just make sense You sent us off to war Please be honest what it's for Doesn't matter is life or death Yeah[Verse 3][LL Cool J] I'm not republican or democrat I'm independent, and I want the facts When are the soldiers come back? Are we prepared for a terrorist attack? Late at night I watch CN NGets so bad I might stop breathin' The Middle East hates us What's the reason? Mr. President My heart is bleeding I tuck my kids in every evenin' Try to teach them to keep believin' Hopin' my government won't deceive them Tell'em set some goals you can achieve them Mr. President I have to know if die for you What will have to show? Will it truly help my country grow I'm waitinn' for your answer let me know[Chorus][Wyclef Jean] If I can talk to the PresidentWould he pay attention really listen? If said somethin' intelligent Would he be willing to change his position? Now it's time time time To speak my mind mind mind Now it's Time time time To speak my mind mind mind (repeat)
