This election season has had a lot of ups and downs. The lines have been drawn and feelings have been hurt. People really seem lost and confused on how to handle these political adjustments, and now everyone is basically going crazy. However, it is critical that the American people pull it together so that everyone can make it to the polls come November. (Vote People!) In order to help cope with these times of distress, I advice everyone to turn to music. Just like a bad break up, music can help us embrace our emotions and come to terms with the next term of the presidency.
The follow is a list of songs that relate to how you feel about the elections.
1. "Donald Trump"
Artist: Mac Miller
Line: "We gonna take over the World while these haters gettin' mad
That's why all my bitches bad
They see this crazy life I have and they in awe
We gon win, you can take the lose or draw" listen to the rest
Explained: Donald Trump is pretty confident he's going to "win a lot" for the United States. Also in reference to the second line, he has about three wives plus two daughters who all seem to think his life is pretty fabulous. Basically, Miller said it right, The Donald is in it to win it.
2. "Wasn't Me"
Artist: Shaggy
Line: "Wasn't Me" listen to the rest
Explained: Sorry, but in this one describes no other than Hillary Clinton. Over and over Clinton has been saying "wasn't me" to the entire email scandal. However, just like Shaggy, Clinton is trying to light heartedly brush it off, continue to plead that it wasn't her, and hopefully make a hit song out of it (or presidency). Also, listening to this song lowkey flashes everyone back to the Bill Clinton cheating disaster that occurred during his term.
3. "All I Do is Win"
Artist: DJ Khaled
Line: "All I do is win win win no matter what
Got money on my mind I can never get enough
And every time I step up in the buildin'
Everybody hands go up
And they stay there" listen to the rest
Explained: This basically describes the conventions/ any time one of the potential presidents walks in front of a microphone. Without listening, you can safely assume Trump and Clinton will just be rephrasing " i will win," "donate to my campaign," and "clap loudly so I look good" for about an hour.
4. "Scholarship"
Artist: Juicy Jay
Line: "Say you need some extra cash to pay for college with
And it just so happens I got a lot of it" listen to the rest
Explained: This one brings it back to Bernie Sanders and his movement to make college tuition free. Sanders argued that there was for sure enough money to make this happen, but it still sounds a little to good to be true...
5. "Why Can't We Be Friends"
Artist: Smash Mouth
Line: "The color, the color, the color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as, as long as, long as we can live in harmony
I kinda, I kinda, I kinda, like to be the president
And I could, and I could, and I could show you how your money's spent"listen to the rest
Explained: Basically the entire song (especially the line above) echoes Clinton as she stresses over the acceptance of Bernie's supporters.
6. "Bet You Cant Do it Like Me"
Artist: Dlow
Line: "Like Nope bet you can't do it like me
Bet you can't do it like me" listen to the rest
Explained: This is what Michelle Obama was thinking when she heard Melania Trump copy her speech.
7. "Who Run the World (Girls)"
Artist: Beyonce
Line: "My persuasion can build a nation." listen to the rest
Explained: Well hello, Hilary Clinton is the first female President nominee. Need I say more...
8. "We’re All in This Together"
Artist: High School Musical (ya I'm throwin it back)
Line: "We're all in this together. Once we know that we are we're all stars and we see that." listen to the rest
Explained: So right now the Republican party is freaking out a little. Turn on Fox News and you will 100 percent hear someone yelling at the rest of the party to pull themselves together. Trump and Ryan lets build a bridge and move on now because you all have to be in this race together.
9. "Stuntin' Like My Daddy"
Artist: Lil Wayne ft. Birdman
Line: "What I'm Doing, Getting Money, What We Doing, Getting Money
What They Doing, hating on us, But They Neva Cross
Cash Money still a company, And Bitch I'm The Boss
And I Be Stunting Like My Daddy, Stunting Like My Daddy" listen to the rest
Explained: Basically all the Trump children were singing this song in their head before giving their speeches at the RNC. Especially, Ivanka who is her dads biggest fan.
10. "Got Money"
Artist: Lil Wayne
Line: "If you got money, and you know it, take it out your pocket and show it then throw it." listen to the rest
Explained: This is the song all Americans should be thinking as we watch the endless amount of commercials constantly harassing citizens for some extra cash to go into these campaigns.
