what Jackie Robinson
brought to sports
the Brooklyn Dodgers would never be the same
Wilt Chamberlain with the Los Angeles Lakers
Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson thank you for keeping the team alive
Walt 'Clyde' Frazier, Pumas he had style
Gayle Sayers could carry a football
Tiger Woods, i never cared for golf until you swung a club
Colourful people
you've come a long way
GOD blessed you all with many talents
we fill the bleachers & seats
to watch you excite the crowds
now music, your influences
you brought the blues like John Lee Hooker
soul we feel Al Green
reggae you have Bob Marley
dance and still respect Michael Jackson
on keyboards you had Stevie Wonder
rock & roll there's Chuck Berry
rap you got Tupac Shakur
innovation Jimi Hendrix
Motown Diana Ross & the Supremes
yes, i voted for President Obama
it takes someone brave
to clean up the mess he faces everyday
he helped out General Motors
he turned Wall Street around
helped those who don't have healthcare
made good decisions as Commander in Chief
now he's trying to clean out the White House
