Blend Title: Exodus '04 Vs. Black President
Genre: Pop/Hip-Hop/Rap Artists: Utada Hikaru & Nas Featuring Tupac Shakur Albums Involved: Exodus (Utada, 2004), Nas (2008) Mixer: Carlo (yours truly) Comments: Hikki released Exodus right around the time that a senator from Illinois named Barack Hussein Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with a speech. Fast forward four and a half years to the present, and he's the 44th President of the United States. In celebration of his inauguration on the 20th (I'm Filipino, not African-American, but I too regard his election as a good omen for our country!) I decided to see if I could mix some of Hikki's stuff with a pro-Obama song, and when I saw these two songs, I knew I had something to work with (if you look at it, in my opinion, Hikki could be speaking for a Japanese-American voter.) Pay attention to the track volume levels - both tracks get louder over time for a reason. Warning: 3 instances of censored profanity MegaUpload.com download link (song is an MP4 file compatible with QuickTime and iTunes) Lyrics 1st Verse - Utada With you, these streets are heaven Now home feels so foreign They told me I was mistaken, infatuated And I was afraid to trust my hunches Now I am ready Daddy, don't be mad that I'm leaving Please let me worry about me Mama, don't you worry about me This is my story 1st Chorus - Utada Through mountains high and valleys low The ocean, through the desert, snow We'll say goodbye to the friends we know This is our Exodus '04 Through traffic jams in Tokyo New music on the radio We'll say goodbye to the world we know This is our Exodus '04 2nd Verse - Utada Landscapes keep changing History teaches something I know I could be mistaken, but my heart has spoken And I cannot redirect my feelings The waves have parted Daddy, don't be mad that I'm leaving Please let me worry about me Mama, don't you worry about me This is my story 2nd Chorus - Utada Through mountains high and valleys low The ocean, through the desert, snow We'll say goodbye to the friends we know This is our Exodus '04 Through traffic jams in Tokyo New music on the radio We'll say goodbye to the world we know This is our Exodus '04 3rd Verse - Nas (with Utada) I'm listening to a music neverending My baby, don't you know I'll never let you down You've opened me to so many different endings But baby, I know that you'll always be around What's the black Prez thinkin' on Election Night? Is it "How can I protect my life, protect my wife, protect my rights?" Every other president was nuttin' less than white 'Cept Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood and Calvin Coolidge KKK is like, "What the f***?!" Loadin' their guns up Loadin' up mines too, ready to ride Cause I'm ridin' with my crew - he dies, we die too! I'm listening to a music neverending My baby, don't you know I'll never let you down You've opened me to so many different endings But baby, I know that you'll always be around Yeah, but on the positive side I think Obama provides hope and challenges minds Of all races and colors to erase the hate And try to love one another - so many political snakes We in need of a break - I'm thinkin' I can trust this brother But will he keep it way real? Every innocent n***a in jail gets out on appeal? When he wins, will he really care still? I feel... 3rd Chorus - (with Utada) & Tupac (with backup and also Obama in background) Through mountains high and valleys low The ocean, through the desert, snow We'll say goodbye to the friends we know This is our Exodus '04 Through traffic jams in Tokyo New music on the radio We'll say goodbye to the world we know This is our Exodus '04 And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president (Yes, we can change the world) (Obama: "Change the world! They said...") Through mountains high and valleys low The ocean, through the desert, snow We'll say goodbye to the friends we know This is our Exodus '04 Through traffic jams in Tokyo New music on the radio We'll say goodbye to the world we know This is our Exodus '04 And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president (Yes, we can change the world) (The world, the world, the world) And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president (Yes, we can change the world) (Obama: "Change the world! They said...") Traffic jams in Tokyo New music on the radio And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready to have a black president Traffic jams in Tokyo New music on the radio (Yes, we can change the world) (The world, the world, the world) Outro - Speaker It is my distinct honor and privilege to introduce to you the next President of the United States - Barack Obama!
