Em       G
If I was president 
             Am    C
I'd get elected on Friday 
         Em      G
Assassinated on Saturday 
       Am    C
Buried on Sunday 
 
       Em      G
If I was President 
       Am      C
If I was President 
 
       Em      G
An old man told me 
             Am           C
Instead of spendin' billions on the war 
   Em         G
We can use some of that money 
     Am    C
In the Ghetto 
         Em    G
I know some so poor 
   Am                  C
When it rains, that's when they shower 
             Em        G
Screamin' fight the power 
    Am                C
That's when the vault should devour 
 
If I was president 
I\'d get elected on Friday 
Assassinated on Saturday 
Buried on Sunday 
If I was president 
If I was president 
If I was president 
If I was president 
 
But the radio won't play this 
They call it rebel music 
How can you refuse it 
Children of Moses 
 
If I was president 
I\'d get elected on Friday 
Assassinated on Saturday 
Buried on Sunday 
If I was president 
If I was president 
 
Tell the children the truth, the truth 
Christopher Columbus didn't discover America 
Tell them the truth, the truth, yeah! 
Tell them about Marcus Garvey 
Tell the children the truth, yeah, the truth 
Tell them about Martin Luther King 
Tell them the truth, the truth 
Tell the about Che Heskey 
 
If I was president 
If I was president 
Elected on Friday 
Assassinated on Saturday 
Buried on Sunday 
If I was president 
If I was president
