President
Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think it's all about you
But what about me?
You think it's all about you
But what about me?

Calling out but ain't nobody really hearing me
Sometimes I think it's all just a conspiracy
But I'm still living fearlessly
Even in this age of tyranny
I spit another stanza in the face of propaganda
With my face up in the camera full picture panorama
These days things are not what they appear to be
Post another selfie on the gram acting cheerfully
Behind closed doors you on all fours
Washed up like all shores distracted by the war lords
Infiltrating every corner of your mind
Taking up your energy and all your precious time
Selling all your data like Cambridge Analytica
If you speak out then be sure they're gonna finish ya
Tarnish your whole image and then diminish ya
If you an evil person then it means you've never been in love cuz

You think it's all about you
But what about me?
You think it's all about you
But what about me?

You just a profiteering narcissist
Telling everyone you're marvelous
But the opposite is obvious
The reason that you're prominent cuz ignorance is dominant
Just cuz I do not agree does not mean I'm a communist
Building up a movement like Yugoslavian Partisans
Topple your whole conglomerate I'm not moderate
Think it's all about you? that's why you're going extinct
Without a moment to blink this is all gonna sink
I only got a couple moments to get it in
Yeah you really lead the people like Flint Michigan
That's the reality we're living in
We're getting tired like Michelin
Soon it's the streets that we're fishing in
You're busy giving gifts to your constituents
And still holding ties to all your businesses
And separating families from their kids
Now the whole world wonders what America is

You think it's all about you
But what about me?




You think it's all about you
But what about me?

Overall Meaning

@Billy Bob democrats were republicans back then
The switch happened during the 20th century
Mostly when the civil rights movement started happening
Democrats voted for desegregation
And republicans didn’t
In fear about the economy or something
Then southerners liked republicans more
And northerners like democrats more
Bada bing bada boom
The switch



Natural Born Patriot

"Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in."


"The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, the sovereign power."

"I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office."

"If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword."

"Fear not, the people may be deluded for a moment, but cannot be corrupted."

-Andrew Jackson.

Does not sound like crazy to me. False information about this president. Sure, strong in his beliefs, as we all should be, Old Hickory said “ I killed the banks”, he fucking abolished the banks from America, the money lenders, a Democrat of thieves and vipers. A Patriot.

No Andrew Jackson was definitely America's most badass president. Dude was shot 6 times and didn't die, one time he got up and killed the man who shot him.

The dude kicked his own would-be assassin's ass. Not to mention he fought one of the best armies in the world with a ragtag bunch of militia and pushed them out of New Orleans and the Louisiana Territory.

At 12 years old he was beaten and spent time in a British jail because he refused to shine a Red Coat officer's boots!

And all you crybabies who say he stole land in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, from the Indians. Those homes and golf courses that you love so much in those states, are they are because of Jackson! Good or bad you have benefited from his actions.

Even the most ferocious Indian tribes were afraid of this man! So yes Jackson was an asshole, but he was definitely the most badass US president to ever live!

@⟭⟬teddy⟬⟭ not really. Andrew Johnson and many other democratic presidents supported the KKK, jim crow and native removal. Don't get me wrong Republican presidents did as well but to say democrat presidents after lincoln didnt is a lie

farwynd2

@⟭⟬teddy⟬⟭ no, the change was in the late 20th century
