A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
South Siiide!
The Hip Hop Prez is back in his old stomping grounds in Chicago to get out the vote.
One of my favorite artists, Common, is performing to the crowd and other special guests will be joining. Things are getting started 5pm CT and the president will address the crowd at 7pm CT. You can watch live here!
Here’s some lyrics from Common’s song from the 2008 election called Changes:
i know that change come come
The race begun,we’re almost there oh yeah
outro:
change is inevitable, you can’t stop it, changes happening and
everybody is like.
changes is like a furious hurricane that you can’t stop
What is change? change is Marin Luther King Jr, Gandhi,
Shakespeare, Tupac Shakur, Barack Obama,
and you can’t forget Common,
changes gonna happen, change is hope.
