I have waited for 70 years for a black president. This song just sums all my emotions up! Rosa Parks, Martin Luther, Barrack Obama...... role models! Thank God!
This song is the only thing that can make my eyes teary. Rosa parks sat so Martin Luther could walk Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly So I'ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
whole verse man . my president is black infact hes half white, so even in a racist mind hes half right. if you have racist mind youd be aight. my president is black but his house is all white, Rosa parks sat so martin Luther could walk Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly So I'ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
When jeezy said: I said I woke up this morning headache this big! Pay all these damn bills feed all these damn kids Buy all these school shoes buy all these school clothes I felt that shit man
Don't get me started on how much and I'm from Trinidad so I've seen all races in power but THIS..THIS made my relatives in Tdad cry. Listen America has alot wrong, but I'll be damned if these moments don't make me have faith that we"ll be okay. Chills..the man is a muse for hope
The greatness of this song is everything came together. Jay verse got me. A masterpiece. In 200 years our kids will still play it. I'm grateful for witnessing all this.

😂😂 Nah fam, this was a complete song and J added his verse and a remix was born. So we can't call it a competition if you already heard others verses and you write yours last then we say you were better. It can't man, it's wrong in all ways.
This song is iconic in so many ways. It won't become an indisputable historical-artistic monument; it was the moment it came out. It's a shame that we tend to value valuable things when they "get older", to celebrate people's legacies only posthumously. Pourtant, History is not just The Past. It is also and mostly The Present, which is simply a live version of The Past. I listen to this song from Canada, as an Afro-Canadian having lived in a number of places where Black folks still wait for moments like the ones celebrated in this song. It transcends patriotism. It's a hymn of hope and celebration to all people who are oppressed or made invisible or made to survive all over the world. Yes, particularly Black folks all over the planet, and beyond
Imagine having so much smoke to blow. in Europe we don't have "African French" this racial construct is strictly American and disgusting it's been perpetuated by the victims for so long. The Irish were slaves to the British for thousands of years, so by my math we deserve Irish History years if you get a month. Grow up you soggy twat
Imagine not just being American and needing to be so special despite contributing nothing and taxing 67% of the system. Then imagine not wanting to be Americans, there must be a line drawn in the sand or your fragile sense of self will crumble when you realize your ancestory is black on black violence.... The same as 86% of crimes. Hmm
Shame those Kangs sold your people into slavery for 400 years. Other white people enslaved us for thousands and we didn't get rights until after women for fucks sake. choke on the cocks you suck
Well inspired by Mandela and Obama these 2 changed the world and showed everybody that nothing is impossible. These guys walked, ran so we could fly and now we untouchables. Blasting this song all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Jay killed it, Rosie sat so Martin could walk, Martin walk so Obama can run, so our kids can fly, I was so proud of America to witness history as it is being made and to understand in that moment, WOW
Ehh come on bruh. I'm a huge Hov fan, and he's hands down top 5, but he has been out rapped on tracks he has been featured on, and on tracks where he had someone feature on his. DMX on "Money, Cash, H***", Big L on "Da Graveyard", Kendrick on the "Don't Kill My Vibe" remix, Scarface on "Guess Who's Back", Kanye and Pusha on "So Appalled", Kanye on multiple tracks (too many to list) off "Watch The Throne", BIG on "Brooklyns Finest", Jada/LOX on "Blackout", Drake on "Pound Cake", Freeway on "What We Do", Ye again on the "Go Hard" remix, Jay Elect on "Shiny Suit Theory", Talib Kweli and Busta on the "Get By" remix, TI/Ye/Wayne on "Swagger Like Us", obviously Eminem on "Renegade", etc etc etc. Theres definitely more but thats just off the top. Hov is still absolutely fire and definitely top 5 but there have been plenty of tracks where he got out rapped by others.
@@CandleGuyFX I am. I'm just not biased/a blind stan. Dude has like 15 Grammys, 12 #1 albums, is a top 5 MC of all time etc. Its undebatable that he's one of the greatest ever. That doesn't negate that he has been out rapped a handful of times.
@@CandleGuyFX Not at all. There was nothing humorous about anything you said. What is though is using multiple emojis like that. Ridiculously feminine. Now that's hysterical.
Just The Image how he presented himself how he operated was everything we needed! In Spite of what they say or may think about black people the best in us will always prove us right!
My boy Nas represented to the fullest but all in all I think the Stars of these three amazing Thug Poets were perfectly aligned when this track was made.
Black people have gotten so far by keeping on fighting for their rights!! You look back when rap first started people would rap about change and finally we reached Congress I was fucking shocked when they actually quoted Biggie during the Trump impeachment...Biggie and 2Pac would be proud if they could come back and see the change they created for the future generations..I'm white but have always stood for minorities
Same feelings. Prayers we get a new president in November. We need a president with soul and actually cares about the people not twitter and fucking news channels
No other prez will have a joint like this, wish i could be at that last gathering he will hold/held, just to hear this song one more time, black excellence truly, only time i voted....😎😎😎🤧🤧😖😖😖
Obama you inspired me To not drop out of highschool back when you first ran in 2008 And you inspired me To graduate than you inspired me To attened college Now you have inspired me To join the united states army god bless you Obama hope you know you are my hero sir
If you ever read Jay-z's book about when he met Obama, you can see the loving kind heart that Obama has! He cared about everyone not just certain groups! I miss him so much!
"My president is black in fact he's half white, so even in a racist mind he's right"-This is the only time I'd ever take Jay over Nas, Nas' verse was great but Jay verse damn near made me cry
Jay brought history and relevance and I tear up every time I hear that verse. Jay's verse not only makes me appreciate President Obama but the black pioneers who sacrificed everything for us.
Nomore he's not . Are president is white and it gotta be right ✅️ we're gonna make America great again. Obama in 8 years did absolutely nothing. You were just proud he was black. Ignorant people ask me you wanna know I'll tell ya. ..ask me it's a swindle!!
History was written in these lyrics.. The same will be said of my country, Nigeria.. A president from the south east.. Igbo.. My President is from the East
“Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly So I'ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky I already got my own clothes, already got my own shoes I was hot before Barack, imagine what I'm gonna do” I came from future to listen to this part
I have waited for 70 years for a black president. This song just sums all my emotions up! Rosa Parks, Martin Luther, Barrack Obama...... role models! Thank God!
We must secure the existence of our people and a future for BLACK children!
Are you still alive?
January 2024…this song is still so empowering!!! I get chills, courage, and tears form in my eyes! What a time to be present!
This! So much THIS! I can't even...I'm LITERALLY SHAKING!
I'm not American, but this song may become relevant again in November 2024!
We playing this on November 5th once they make the call and ALL DAY on November 6th!
Whether people like it or not , this song will always be remembered in history !
This is the truth.
***** being polite doesn't cost much. Acting like that doesn't make you right.
jaysquared it was HIS opinion
Some say to this day our president is still black we needed a miracle 🙌🏾
Im headed to DC .
From Sudan and am not American but my president is black Obama he should come back to help the black people all around the world
Me too back to Saudi Arabia
This song is the only thing that can make my eyes teary.
Rosa parks sat so Martin Luther could walk
Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run
Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly
So I'ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
Tho i ain't black but those lines are legit dope. Jay speaking facts.
No more white lies my president is black that shit is dope🔥🔥🔥
whole verse man . my president is black infact hes half white, so even in a racist mind hes half right. if you have racist mind youd be aight. my president is black but his house is all white,
Rosa parks sat so martin Luther could walk
Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run
Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly
So I'ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
Most legendary lyrics. J is a real one.
When jeezy said: I said I woke up this morning headache this big!
Pay all these damn bills feed all these damn kids
Buy all these school shoes buy all these school clothes
I felt that shit man
Don't get me started on how much and I'm from Trinidad so I've seen all races in power but THIS..THIS made my relatives in Tdad cry. Listen America has alot wrong, but I'll be damned if these moments don't make me have faith that we"ll be okay.
Chills..the man is a muse for hope
Listening in 2024... Will never understand why the man Ain't never came out to this jawnt

Jeezy get the top rappers from every state and remix this track right now... make it viral
jay had probably the most intricate lines in hip hop on this song. the way everything flowed and all matched up to get his point across.
Hi

G.O.A.T
That was a shit verse. He’s a politician himself. Nas an artist black, white or purple

Iconic song and lyrics. Jayz is talking to the generation. Jezzy is talking to his fan. Nas is talking directly to Obama.
This is the most insightful comment on TH-cam.

Classic 🎧
My President is black
TeamObama from Italy My president is Back baby!
Amazing time capsule of life during the Great Recession. Really captures both the despair and the optimism, and the recovery that followed.
History was written in these lyrics..
The same will be said of my country, Nigeria..
A president from the south east.. Igbo..
My President is from the East
My President is black, my maybach too, I'll be goddamned if my diamonds ain't blue.
It's an odd message tbh.
If South Africa could listen to this song again and again
“Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly
So I'ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
I already got my own clothes, already got my own shoes
I was hot before Barack, imagine what I'm gonna do”
I came from future to listen to this part

Got me in my feelings. My President is Black! Forever. Respect.
