Death Threats

(album: If I Were President: My Haitian Experience - 2010)

Death threats
In the middle of the night
Cowards on the telephone
Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on
Yeah, I'm riding towards my enemy
Before they come and get my family

Biggie used to ask what's beef
It's when my own countryman wanna kill me
I used to rip a flag in the air like I'm part of the set
But now it seems like the same set is giving me death threats

All I wanted to be was Commander-in-chief
But it seems like they wanna see me six feet deep
But no weapon used against me shall prosper
(Prosper, prosper, prosper, prosper)

Death threats
In the middle of the night
(What they said?)
Cowards on the telephone
Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on
Yeah, I'm riding towards my enemy
Before they come and get my family

Then they labeled me
(A populist)
Pushed the decision back before they kicked me out the race
So they met in Peurto Princess in secrecy
They said they heard a rumor that I met with Irish Steve

But all I wanted to be was Commander-in-chief
So when the food price rise, everyone still eats
Give them some books, make sure everybody reads
Illiteracy is modern day slavery

Death threats
In the middle of the night
(What they said?)
Cowards on the telephone
Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on
I'm riding towards my enemy
Before they come and get my family

The coin that I bet heads on, been tails all along
On both sides of the coin
So I'm careful who I eat with
'Cause if I'm poisoned, a dead man can't get elected

Preacher laid his hands on me, said it's a prophesy
But like Bijou Banton, it's my destiny
Yo, and I kept the crowd calm
But they running out of patience, they got short talk and long arms

We disgrace, story come from photo press
All the music where the scene gets tense
And the perpetrator says, "If you love your life
You would take the next plane but you can't survive"

You see I won't get the Peace Prize
'Cause I got a rifle hanging by my bedside
A million voices going feel like a genocide
If my people don't fight for their equal right

You see I won't get the Peace Prize
'Cause I got a rifle hanging by my bedside
A million voices going feel like a genocide
If my people don't fight for their equal right

Death threats
Me ain't scared
In the middle of the night
(What they said?)
Cowards on the telephone
Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)
Got on my chopper, got my vest on
(Choppered up, vest on)
Got on my chopper, got my vest on

Yeah, David shoot Goliath with a slingshot
