Election Time

[Chorus]
My generation like, we okay
As long as we got music, we gon' dance all day
He gon' vote Taylor Swift, she gon' vote Kanye-Ye-Ye
Election time is coming, come on
We okay, as long as we got music, we gon' party all day
She gon' vote U2, he gon' vote Coldplay-Play-Play
Election time is coming, come on

[Verse 1]
Immigration, socialism, capitalism, racism
Health care, welfare, seems like nobody cares (Come on)
Big business, corporation, small business, taxation
Unemployment, education, my generation
Go to space station, so when you Google Earth
You can see all the Haitians as they rebuild they nation
With fair trade, everybody trade
You trade, I trade and everybody get paid

[Pre-Chorus]
Election time around the corner
Who you gonna vote for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
What you gon' fight for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
Who you gon' vote for? (We okay)
Election time is coming
Do you want peace or war? (Come on)

[Verse 2]
Alternative energy or oil in your SUV
Tell me what you lookin' for, we about to have a poll
Gun control, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacture
Hip-hop be my culture, tell me what you think about it (Come on)
Technology, your foreign policy
I need to bailout money to stimulate the economy
Raise our family values, my life be my testament
King had a dream, and you too can be the president

[Pre-Chorus]
Election time around the corner
Who you gonna vote for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
What you gon' fight for? (We okay)
Election time around the corner
Who you gon' vote for? (We okay)
Election time is coming
Do you want peace or war?

[Chorus]
But the kids like, we okay
As long as we got music, we gon' dance all day
He gon' vote Taylor Swift, she gon' vote Kanye-Ye-Ye
Election time is coming
But the kids like (Come on), we okay
As long as we got music, we gon' party all day (Yeah)
She gon' vote U2, he gon' vote Coldplay-Play-Play (Yeah)
Election time is coming (I know election time is almost here)

[Verse 3]
You know what? (What?)
Why don't you kick some of that stuff I grew up on?
You know what I'm talking 'bout? (I gotchu), yeah
Gramps was a voodoo priest, Dad was a preacher
Uncle was a Mason, I was raised Christian
Best friend Muslim, as-salamu alaykum
My manager was Jewish, he taught me shabbat shalom
Flatbush Rastas taught me The Scriptures
Haile Salassie, Marcus Garvey
Saint Louverture, Haitian Revolution
Napoleon's army got spanked by them Haitians
Toussaint St. Jean with the info
Did you know that a Haitian founded Chicago?
If I was President
The first thing I would do is get my people out the tents
Election time is coming

[Chorus]
My generation like, we okay
As long as we got music, we gon' dance all day
He gon' vote Taylor Swift, she gon' vote Kanye-Ye-Ye
Election time is coming
All you kids like, we okay
As long as we got music, we gon' party all day
She gon' vote U2, he gon' vote Coldplay-Play-Play
Election time is coming

[Outro]
I wanna thank y'all for coming to see me here (Yeah)
You could've been anywhere
But you chose to come to the Haitian experience to see us (Yeah)
I go by the name of Wyclef Jean, straight from Haiti
And that's my brother Sedeck on the drums
Hello? Hello?
Hello? Hello?
