As I Ran For President, I Hoped That One Child Would Come Out Of The Ghetto Like I Did, Could Look At Me Walk Across The Stage With Governors And Senators And Know They Didn't Have To Be A Drug Dealer, They Didn't Have To Be A Hoodlum, They Didn't Have To Be A Gangster. They Could Stand Up From A Broken Home, On Welfare, And They Could Run For President Of The United States.
