Such is the meaning of the first rhyme

For those blind to the parable of the swayed minds

I spoke of a people who had just lost a king

They weren’t sure who would rule everything

The people were America, we were concerned

The king’s death was Clinton’s second and final term

I mentioned two princes, one from the shore

He would be king as his father before

Then was the prince saying he’s for the poor

Texas makes George W. from the shore

Prince for the poor is the Democrat Gore

Elections were rigged so the man became sore

Thus George W. as his father before

Now President yet he comes from the Lord

And the fifty tribes were the states keeping score

Who couldn’t believe Bush didn’t cheat Gore

He tried to convince us he came from the Lord

Tryna finance the church so with them he could score

The lands from the East were was with whom we war

Started by Bush then his father before

But 9-11 they struck rich and the poor

Then Bush rose claiming he would restore

Peace to the poor and the rich through a war

Rich and the poor were upset and were sore

So now they think Bush is of the Lord

Seems we forgot that the man was a fraud

*long silent pause in song*

(O’hene in recorded conversation):

It’s either you not wanna accept it or you gonna accept it, but those who have ears let them hear, you know what I’m saying? Like that’s really what it is, it’s like not saying literally those who have ears, but you’ll have ears but you might not have ears for this metaphor
