You continue to carry the weight of this great nation on your shoulders
And no matter how heavy the load gets
You always stand tall and you’re never bent over
I recall in 2008 when you first won
Black people around the world shouted “We’ve made it”
Because CHANGE had finally come
Now four years later you do it, again
Because you’ve proved that you’re not just a President for Black people,
But you’re the President for ALL men
You’re the President for the MAJORITY
You’re the President for the MINORITY
You’re the President for the DESTITUTE
You’re the President for the CHRISTIAN, the MUSLIM and the JEW
You’re the President for the WEALTHY
You’re the President for the SICK, the POOR and the HEALTHY
You’ve led a permanent campaign
That has NEVER changed
You’ve shown 84% of us that you care about our pain
That you care about our homes
Care about our health
Care about our future
Care about our education
And time after time you’ve demonstrated
That we didn’t have to be RICH in order for you to care about our situation
You’ve BAILED us OUT
You’ve REFORMED our HEALTH
You’ve SECURED the nation’s PROTECTION
Because US forces didn’t kill, Osama Bin Laden, until AFTER your election
So Mr. President, on behalf of the people I commend you for doing an exceptional job
And for the next four years we will “COMMIT to FOLLOW you FORWARD
In the service of our country by the will of our GOD” (FDR).
