lyrics

Sharecropper’s son, you were fightin’ the power
You refused-to-move, from that Nashville counter
In riot’s aftermath, you were delivering food
You taught the Board of Ed, to give those teachers’ their due!
Chorus
Bitch set you up photographing your vice
But no press for your civil rights work
Took a shot, to the heart, but you took a stand
More than a man, you’re my
Mayor for life, My Mayor for life
Gave youth employment, summer jobs for every child
Empowered women, gave unprecedented titles
They couldn’t lock up your legacy no Barry!
May not be perfect, but you’re perfect, for D.C.
