The Obama camp is standing behind the president’s claim that Americans should vote for him out of “revenge” against GOP challenger Mitt Romney.
So is it any surprise to hear Jay-Z, one of Obama’s biggest celebrity boosters, using the GOP candidate’s name in the place of the obscenity “bitch,” at an Obama campaign stop? Or that the Obama boosters in the crowd cheered the change?
Jay-Z also used the words “hoes” and “ass.”
How many parents took their kids to see the president of the United States only to have the words “hoes” and “ass” to deal with afterwards?
Here are the songs original lyrics, only some of which were self-censored by the rapper — you can watch Jay-Z’s performance below:
–
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one
[Verse One]
I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket’s closed
Rap critics that say he’s “Money Cash Hoes”
I’m from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapatos
You’d celebrate the minute you was having dough
I’m like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
If you don’t like my lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if I don’t play they show
They don’t play my hits well I don’t give a shit SO
Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads…fuckers
I don’t know what you take me as
or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
I’m from rags to riches nigga I ain’t dumb
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
[Chorus]
99 Problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
[Verse Two]
The year is ’94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fucking law
I got two choices yall pull over the car or
bounce on the double put the pedal to the floor
Now I ain’t trying to see no highway chase with jake
Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case
So I…pull over to the side of the road
And I heard “Son do you know why I’m stopping you for?”
Cause I’m young and I’m black and my hat’s real low
Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don’t know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?
I ain’t stepping out of shit all my papers legit
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And I know my rights so you gon’ need a warrant for that
Nah I ain’t passed the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won’t illegally search my shit
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Here’s Jay-Z introducing a new version of his hit song “99 Problems” specifically for the Obama campaign:
And I changed this one up. I have to do it. I’m sorry. I didn’t get clearance from the Secret Service. So if they come tackle me here, y’all save me. I changed the lyric of this song, it goes like this: “If you’re having world problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a Mitt ain’t one.” I didn’t get that vetted, so let’s do this real fast before they come up here and snatch me off this stage.
