[Verse 1]   Dear Mr. President with all due respect   I wish we can have a conversation   I‘ll take a trip done to the residents   We can talk about the state of the nation   Mr. President   I will ask you about the war   Really and truly what is it for?   IDEN mix soldier form dyeing for stuff above us all   Is it all about oil at end of the day?   Is the pledge of allegiance is something say?   I hope not I love The USA   In spite of all drama we have today   Mr. President are you aware   Our Flesh and blood is dying over there   When the coffins come back   Do you care?   When only the poor kids die   Is it fair?   [Chorus] [Wyclef Jean]   If I can talk to the President   Would he pay attention really listen?   If talk something intelligent   Would he be willing to change his position?   Now it’s Time time time   To speak my mind mind mind   [Verse 2][LL Cool J]   Don't get me wrong   I respect the flag   But it hurts to see a kid in a body bag   He fought for his country with all he had   Now we have a family without a dad   Lil mama crying and the kids are scared   9/11 why we were unprepared   Mr. President,   Are you aware unless you're rich, you have poor health care   It makes you scream and want to pull out your hair   Discharged from the hospital soon as you get there.   Mr. President Truth or dare   Terrorist is hiding do you know where   Illegal immigrants is everywhere   Isn’t really fought they want to come here   I respect you pleased be clear   Talk with me   Show people you care   [Chorus][Wyclef Jean]   If I can talk to the President   Would he pay attention really listen?   If talk something intelligent   Would he be willing to change his position?   Now it’s Time time time   To speak my mind mind mind   [Bridge][Wyclef Jean]   What I’m to do   I can wait here with you   Tell me something that make sense   You sent off for war   Pleased be honesty what it’s for   Doesn’t matter is life or death   Yeah   [Verse 3][LL Cool J]   I’m not republican or democratic   I’m independent I want the facts   When are the soldiers come back?   Are we prepared for a terrorist attack?   Late at night I watch CNN   It so bad I’m stop leaving   Middle East hates us   What’s the reason?   Mr. President   My heart is bleeding   I tuck my kids end every evening   Try to teach them keep believe   Hoping my government want deceive them   Tell’em Set some goals you can achieve them   Mr. President   I have to know if die for you   What will have to show?   How really truly how our country grow   Waiting for your answer Let me know   [Chorus][Wyclef Jean]   If I can talk to the President   Would he pay attention really listen?   If talk something intelligent   Would he be willing to change his position?   Now it’s Time time time   To speak my mind mind mind      Now it’s Time time time   To speak my mind mind mind (repeat)
