I wasn't expecting too much since I'm not a huge Wyclef fan, but that song is simply awesome. I found these lyrics with google as well:

Wyclef Jean - If I was President

If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president

An old man told me instead of spending billions on the war,
We can use some of that money in the ghetto.
I know some so poor, when it rains that's when they shower
Screaming "Fight the power!"
That's when the vultures devour.

If I was president
I would get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president
If I was president
If I was president

But the radio won’t play this
They call it rebel music.
How can you refuse it?
Children of Moses.

If I was president
I would get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president

Tell the children the truth, the truth
Christopher Columbus didn't discover America
Tell them the truth, the truth
Tell them about Marcus Garvey
Tell the children the truth, the truth
Tell them about Martin Luther King
Tell them the truth, the truth
Tell them about JFK

If I was president
If I was president
I would get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
If I was president
If I was president

You can get the mp3 of the Chappelle performance from the link that The_wall provided. I don't think Wyclef has recorded a studio version of the song if thats what you're looking for, though i could be mistaken.

Even though presidents get elected on Tuesdays, this song's lyrics are awesome. I wish I could write like that.

I think Wyclef Jean is very talented musically, but I have a hard time taking him seriously these days. Sometimes he comes off very sincere and oppressed (Bob Marley like), like the President song and his earlier stuff. Then you see him on the Funk Master Flex celebrity car show arguing with the Hot Boyz over whose 8 $100,000 cars are sweeter.
