My President- Young Jeezy

This song was written and released in 2008 on an album titled ” The Recession” which was strategic on Jeezy’s behalf because America was going through a recession from December 2007 to June 2009. One of the most infamous bars from this son was “My president is black, my Lambo’s blue”, In 2008 the first black president of the United States was elected into office. This was a major accomplishment not only for the black community but for America as well. We had begun diversifying our country and creating avenues for minorities to acquire positions of power within our government. According to, the Declaration Of Independence ” All men are created equal”, giving Barak Obama a chance to run for president like any other American regardless of his race was an extreme success. When Jezzy wrote “… my lambo is blue” was symbolic because it represents prosperity which is one of America’s core values. Jeezy raps about his experiences growing up selling drugs to survive and how being the first person from his neighborhood to have a Lamborghini was a huge achievement. Young Jeezy is his stage name but the individual behind the rap persona. Jay Wayne Jenkins. was born in South Carolina but gained his fame from being in Atlanta, Georgia. Later on in the song he expressed how that moment in time was ” black history”, there were many people who voted just to see what it would be like to have a black president. During high school, I watched a video in one of my history classes which consisted of a series of interviews about why people voted for Barack Obama. The overarching message in this song is about making history as a nation. The background music on the track sounds extremely patriotic and heroic like we as a nation have won a prize of some sort. Overall, wonderful song and a great classic for the culture.
