I am glad for the black creation
That turned president for that big nation
I am glad for the fact
That he took the troops out of Iraq
I wasn't surprise
When he won the nobel peace prize
Because in my eyes
He is a man on the rise
I am glad that he is a man of his word
His skin tone makes him a part of our herd
He is our voice
And I know he will make the right choice
Because he is black
He is strong
And there is nothing that's going to make him crack
I know he will keep that nation intact
I am glad for the man name Barack
