All things are possible thru Christ who strengthens me.” The song “Ultralight Beam” is a perfect example of his faith, “When they come for you, I will shield your name I will field their questions, I will feel your pain, No one can judge, They don’t, they don’t know They don’t know. Foot on the Devil’s neck ’til it drifted Pangaea… This little light of mine, Glory be to God, yeah…”

I don’t think it’s necessarily something you put the first Black man in office to change.” He and his dad both worked for Obama back when he was a senator.
