It had been said by many, blacks and whites and others plenty,
that it would be a cold day in hell before a Black man would reign supreme.
Well needless to say, the twentieth of January was a very cold day,
and there was a black man as president when most thought it extreme.
That's the moment it should have been said, let's all move ahead,
cause we've been residing much too long in this hell.
Should the color of one's skin, determine the work he wants to put in,
to help bring this country out of its constantly cracking shell.
What will it take to make them get, that on our laurels we can no longer set,
thinking America is so great it will bounce back on its own.
The color of the man need not matter, because we can no longer flatter,
ourselves into believing a white America still holds the throne.
The economy sits now firmly in hell, and still some say oh well,
that's just not the way we want these things to be done.
If we relegate things to just an elephant or ass, blue, pink or green grass,
it will be our very existence looking down the barrel of a gun.
No matter what's seen black and white, some will try with all their might,
to cloud the truth of the vessel sent to our rescue.
Not only don't they get it, they don't even try to set it,
straight so the country can be saved and get what its due.
The people were brought out together, in the coldest of weather,
believing in change and the reverberation of " Yes We Can!"
So whether they get it now, they will have to get it somehow,
because the change that is needed has come in a "family man!"
