[Intro: Barack Obama]
Tonight, I say to the American people, to Democrats and Republicans and independents across this great land — enough! This moment — this moment — this election, is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive
[Verse 1: Usher]
Every day he wakes up in his million dollar home
His life is like a video, the only reality he knows
He jumps inside of his hundred thousand dollar car
Cruising up the boulevard
Driving pass people living hard
Complains about the gas prices, but still supports the war
He complains about his 6-figure salary, tax to feed the poor
He doesn't understand the homeless, doesn't think it's genocide
That millions die from three lethal letters
So he does sh— to make it better
And I'm thinkin' new
[Chorus: Usher]
Everybody wanna touch the sky
And nobody wants to reach back
For the ones who are scared to fly
Everybody wants Heaven
If you don't wanna sacrifice
You don't say nothing
Don't say nothing
[Post-Chorus: Usher & Barack Obama]
(Ooh, hush) Don't say nothing
That's the promise of America — the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper
(Ooh, hush) Don't say nothing
