| Young Jeezy – My President Lyrics | 6 years ago |

The song is more of a childish daydream than an anthem. The music is good. Its instrumental has a lot of use. But other than that, the lyrics are pathetic. They have not only not held up over time (more on that below), but actually have become even more ironic and inaccurate after Obama's departure. The intention of the song is clear: an anthem by the union of black rapper fantasy and working class black dreams of having no financial, societal, or personal troubles. It's almost as if the latter is thrown in just to make the song relatable for when it's blared on radios. There's no need to break it down paragraph by paragraph. The song clearly boasts that the singer is happy his president has high melanin content and SSAfrican features. The presumption is that presidents before only worked for people of European descent, and that blacks always were, and always are perpetually discriminated against (even though any thinker has come to realize it is actually a class game and the people with money and connections always win. Always. Always.) Therefore, the singer believes that this president will at least begin to save black people from all of their issues. Save them from whatever they believe is targeting dark-skinned people(s). Reading between the lines: no more marijuana or drug arrests. No more stop&frisk-type profiling, no more whatever systematic racism blacks believe is strung against them, whether it be true, which some of it actually is, or just false and made up. Unfortunately, Obama did none of these things (and I am no conservative) and in fact made the society closer to a utopia for just the very people blacks are affected by: rich. white. people. So not only is this no longer an anthem of racist excitement and victory, it is now one of irony and pity. Not only did the society not turn into an anti-white one expecting the apologizing, no, feet-kissing of anyone with a non-European identity. But also, the society of the noughties (last decade), which the hyperliberal thought was such a dystopia is now everyone's dream to live in again, because of how bad things soured under Obama, aka the third Bush. And now we have the alt-right and even funkier beliefs coming from boths sides. Now our president is orange. Would anyone like to make HIM an anthem? Let crap like this be a lesson: racism doesn't win. Ever. By anyone. Period. |
