letra de let's vote - erik nuri

one, two, three, four
now that i’ve got you on the floor
would you please lend me your ear?
while i try to make my message clear
i don’t come to you to bang bang the boogie
or plot to make you hot
just want to drop something on you that can ease your pressure
’cause i know you got a lot
now this land is ruled by a democracy
that’s supposed to include you and me
it provides a way to get your problems solved
but first you’ve got to get involved
i want to talk to you about politics and what it means to me and you
so we can realize that to better our lives there’s a simple thing each one of us can do

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!)

you say it doesn’t help, that’s a bunch of jive
’cause politicians make decisions that affect our daily lives

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!)

we got to have somebody lookin’ out for us
or else time and time and time again
your congressman won’t be your friend

(so evil politicians can live [?]
make it legal to discriminate
losing jobs, everyday
[?])

but if we vote (if we vote), like we rock (like we rock)
we can take it (we can take it), to the top (to the top)
will you do it? (will you do it?) why not? (why not?)
(it’s your responsibility!)

don’t keep our people ignorant about the power that’s in our hands
the man makes politics very confusing and hard to understand
so you just throw your hands in the air (whoo!)
throw your hands in the air (whoo!)
just throw your hands in the air (whoo!)
and shake your booty like you really don’t care
but i hear you complain about your property tax
’cause they pay a little and you pay the max
let’s vote, let’s vote, let your voices be heard
if leaders won’t do right by us then we’re supposed to make a fuss

(it’s your responsibility!)

now you love the rap by brother malcolm x
but what was his plan of success?
he said the ballot or the bullet
come on, come on, come and on you got to confess
that for two hours you’ll wait in line
just to get in to a disco and boogie your behind
but on election day, hey what do you say?
“aw later my man, i just don’t have the time”
you’re blind, from the reefer and the wine
but the benefits of good politics can elevate your mind
you know it makes no sense to approach a politician ’bout a problem you’d wish they’d fix
and when they ask you if you’re registered, you say you don’t dig politics
see politics is the science of of who gets what, when, why, and how
if you really want your voice to be heard, go register right now

and vote! (let’s vote!)

you say it doesn’t help, that’s a bunch of jive
’cause politicians make decisions that affect our daily lives

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!)

we got to have somebody lookin’ out for us
or else time and time and time again
your congressman won’t be your friend

we vote for the people that make the laws and set the policy
but when we don’t show no organization they rip us off legally
now our mothers and fathers laid down their lives
so that you and me could have some franchise
and how do we appreciate their blood and tears?
we let the racist politicians get four more years

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!) let your voices be heard
if leaders won’t do right by us then we’re supposed to make a fuss

(you say you wanna get more out of us
everybody wants to sacrifice
the vote is spread unequally
the american dream is a fantasy)

but if we vote (if we vote), like we rock (like we rock)
we can take it (we can take it), to the top (to the top)
will you do it? (will you do it?) why not? (why not?)
(it’s your responsibility!)

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!) let your voices be heard
so many times you said there oughta be a law, well that’s what politics is for

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!) don’t leave it up to me
if you’re not pleased with what you see go organize your community

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!) go register your name
if you’re lookin’ for a piece of the action you got to play the game

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!) don’t leave it up to me
if you’re not pleased with what you see go organize your community

let’s vote!

let’s vote! (let’s vote!)
let’s vote! (let’s vote!) let your voices be heard
