The Gregory Brothers
Obama Mic Drop (1999)
[Verse 1: Barack Obama]
We've got the strongest job growth since 1999
We produce more oil here for the first time
For the first time, for the first time

Get it, get it, like 1999
Get it, get it, like 1999
It has been and still is a hard time
But tonight we get it like it's 1999

[Verse 2: Barack Obama]
If a kid from Tatooine can save the galaxy, you can too
Your future will be brighter, there's no limit to what we can do
But -- here's the big but, here's the big but
We're not there yet, we all know that
All the income gains flow to the top 1%
So I'mma bring jobs back

Get it, get it, like 1999
Get it, get it, like 1999
It has been and still is a hard time
But tonight we get it like it's 1999

[Verse 3: Barack Obama]
If folks wanna pop off, pop off
I wanna meet ‘em
I'm not gonna be soft, be soft
I'm gonna beat ‘em
If folks wanna pop off, pop off
I wanna meet ‘em
I'm not gonna be soft, be soft
I'm gonna beat ‘em

[Reprise: Barack Obama]
Our economy is growing like 1999
The crime rate came down for the first time
For the first time, for the first time
Get it, get it, like 1999
Get it, get it, like 1999
It has been and still is a hard time
But tonight we get it like it's 1999
