Dear Mr.President
The S.T.O.P. Movement Lyrics

Dear Mr. President
A plea to the President of the United States

the world has gone astray
The state of the world is chaotic and disordered

brothers are dying
People are losing their lives

they won't live to see today
They will not survive to witness the present day

was it all worth it
Was the cost and sacrifice justifiable

you had to lie to get your way
Deception was employed to achieve your goals

bloods thicker than water
Family bonds are stronger than anything

what a price we had to pay
The immense cost and consequences

you and your friends you all are crooks
You and your associates are corrupt individuals

sellin out the poor man
Betraying and exploiting the vulnerable

the soldiers lives are took
The lives of soldiers are being taken

I can't see no difference from Mr. Hussein to Mr. Bush
There is no discernible distinction between Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush

death and deception it's the brew the devil cooks
Death and deceit are tools of evil forces

you had a vendetta
You held a personal grudge

get Saddam by any means and make man chedda
Obtain Saddam Hussein by any method and attain great wealth

in 4 years you grow 600 million
Within four years, your wealth increased by 600 million

the bush family
Referring to the Bush family

oil tycoons
Powerful individuals in the oil industry

they're worth billions
They possess enormous wealth

you even pissed on the public for the cash
You betrayed and disregarded the public for financial gain

you started a deadly war and hiked up the gas
You initiated a destructive war and increased gas prices

that's 'cause your real pay check comes from OPEC
Your true income comes from OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries)

do the Bin Ladens also send endorsement
Are the Bin Ladens also providing support

k to the are to the s to the one
Referring to oneself (KRS-One)

my condolences to those that lost their son
Offering condolences to those who lost a child

Perhaps they lost their daughter while crossing borders

I'm here to support you

A reference to a global power structure

Time is running out while the problems grow more significant

Every time we strive for material success, we become enslaved

We'll eventually be making music for Saudi Arabia

I told ya'll niggaz it's a war outside
I warned everyone that there is a war happening

but these niggaz don't listen till the missiles start to fly
People don't pay attention until the danger becomes imminent

America ain't nothin but the fantasy life
America is an illusionary existence

but the end 'll soon come for this bull shit life
The deceptive nature of this life will eventually come to an end

hold up before that come I gotta get mine
Before the end arrives, I need to secure my own interests

I would prefer to stay in prison than participate in senseless violence

show why'all better than I can tell
Demonstrate your superiority instead of just talking about it

I ain't buyin what them senators sell
I don't believe the lies told by senators

while they passin them bills we livin in hell
As they pass laws, we continue to suffer

with a round for blood
Ready for violence and bloodshed

don't cooperate
Refusing to cooperate

we'll just shoot you up
We will resort to violence

its blood on all our hands
We all share responsibility for the bloodshed

where they honor greed
In a society that values greed

can't no one win
No one can achieve victory

till they conquer need
Until they overcome their own needs

I already got enough on my mind to be stressin
I am already burdened with enough worries

and now I can't even watch the news its depressin
Even the news is disheartening to watch

I see em battle through saddam's hood with smith n wessens
I witness them fighting in Saddam Hussein's neighborhood with firearms

and droppin all kind of bombs with aggression
And bombing the area aggressively

mama........ my prayers
Mother, my prayers are for you

for someone to hold ya
For someone to provide support and comfort

while I pull out a lewie for the fallen soldiers
While I light a joint in honor of the deceased soldiers

its best to turn to the lord for he's the best to consol ya
It's advisable to seek solace from the Lord

and that's the realest thing mack 10 eva told ya

The country claims to be free, but there is no sense of freedom

where they cast the black folk silent and our votes don't count
Black people are silenced and their votes are disregarded

Similar to the logo of the music group Public Enemy

Makes me want to raise my hands up and shout

My father must have received the message

A play on words, implying that the only good thing about Bush is sexual

not the one who sends your brothers off to war and fight
Not the one who sends your brothers to fight in wars

You are smoking or consuming...

For the blind.....and.....
For the blind... and...

How many more years we accept lies and cry tears
How many more years will we tolerate lies and shed tears

they sell beers to the masses
They sell alcohol to the masses

just so they can justify the fucked up factions
Just to validate their corrupt actions

by elections avoid any questions
During elections, they avoid answering any questions

give fake answers
Provide false answers

Americas cancer
The corruption and deceit within America

the little puppet with tangled strings
The manipulated and controlled puppet

I think he forgot the value of a human being
He seems to have forgotten the importance of human life

maybe he never knew or never gave a shit
Perhaps he was unaware or simply didn't care

but he can send us all off and do his bravery bit
But he can send us all to war and act courageous

treatin people like pawns for the campaign
Viewing people as pawns for political gain

beggin people will you please reelect me
Imploring the people to vote for him again

get him outta here
Remove him from office

you must learn
You need to understand

you're a fool if you want the fucker one more term
You're foolish if you desire one more term for him
