To be president.
Means you must offend a certain population of the people.
Don't matter what class.
Don't matter what religion.

No one race of the people will be immune.
Many of them are already out of tune.

To be president.
Means your agenda must be clear.
The odds are great you will be smeared.
Don't what party you belongs too.
Don't matter the policies you're pushing through.

Cause even the advisers surrounding you.
Will have a view.

Yes, to be president.
Means comprehending ways to agree.
When Congress makes things harder than it seems.

We will hear about the constituents.
Who they represents?
But who is like many of us?
A very small percentage.
Who has a voice?

But to be president.
Means standing strong.
When that certain percentage thinks you're wrong.
Cause others will think you're right.

And you will be.
If you can sleep peaceful at night.
