Kwame Raoul (born September 30, 1964) is an American politician and a Democratic member of the Illinois Senate, representing the 13th district since his appointment to fill the seat vacated by Barack Obama in 2004. He is the chair of the Illinois Senate's Redistricting Committee and the Senate's Pension & Investments Committee.
Raoul was born in Chicago to Haitian immigrant parents, Dr. Janin and Marie Raoul, whose parents' roots are from present-day Ghana. Raoul earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from DePaul University and went on to receive his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law.
Raoul was appointed on November 6, 2004 to fill the state Senate vacancy caused by the resignation of his predecessor, Barack Obama, who had just been elected to the United States Senate.
Since his arrival in Springfield, Raoul has successfully advanced legislation promoting civil justice, early childhood education, domestic violence prevention and political reform. In his first year in the General Assembly, Raoul established a progressive agenda. His work led to the passage of laws expanding access to early voting in Illinois, and the state’s Low Income Energy Assistance Program and a crack down on the Pay Day loan industry.
I left town with a broken heart
And a twisted arm, I didn't want to go
You sent me off without a reason why
So now I have to try to let you go
So now you know I'm going down, like it or not
There's a sickness that surrounds me and my lot
You know I've given up on everything
Nothing you say can ever cool the sting
I know it's high time
You're feeling so fine
Knowing everything you've done to me
I left town with a broken heart
And a twisted arm, I didn't want to go
You set me up without explaining why
So now I have to try to let you go
You sat and watched me by the last light of the blues
I thought that I could never make it without you
But now I see that I've been proven wrong
The good old days are finally dead and gone
I'm feeling alright
I bid you good night
And now it's time for me to move along
I left town with a broken heart
And a twisted arm, I didn't want to go
You sent me off without a reason why
So now I have to try to let you go
What is gained in saying I am that, I've done this
When life is luck of the draw then a battle of wits
More useless to me than a motto is a creed
'Cause this vain imposition is a loaded decision
Hiding in it's vision a treacherous seed
The situation is president
No hero to raise
No villain to defeat
There is only the end you effect
Only the elements to override me
How do you contain a spirit then
With no eyes or ears
How could you please your case
No threat of death to subdue it with
No clock to abide
No body to sustain
She carries
A heart of sand
Her words
Are the surge
Quan són d'altes les muntanyes
Que m´amaguen tot allò que estimo
Com enyoro que el sol neixi a mar
L´atzavara blava I el badiu tot blanc.
Camí ral que em duràs al país d'on jo sóc
Clara terra aspra terra al país d'on jo sóc.
Ella em mira com dient-me
Torna encara groc retrat que guardo
Si sabia que la puc trobar
Res em pararia, ni mar ni oceà.
Camí ral que em duràs al país d'on jo sóc
Clara terra aspra terra al país d'on jo sóc.
Sento l´olor penetrant de la mareselva
I sempre el can't del rossinyol que em diu:
Ella encara surt a la finestra per si et veu tornar
Pel camí, pel camí.
Camí ral que em duràs al país d'on jo sóc
Clara terra aspra terra al país d'on jo sóc.
Camí ral que em duràs al pas I a l'amor
Clara terra dolça terra al país I a l´amor
Loke loke!
[Verse 1:]
He said what's good baby girl, what's your name,
Better still just tell me your pin
So we can chat bout the things we gonna do when we see
Better yet what we can right here
But chill shorty, who u came with?
Are you tryna run game here?
Just feeling your ginger
From your skin to your long hair
It's clear your not from around her
I've got champagne in my ride
So I'm thinking we should chill outside
Usually don't do this
'Scuse me if I sound kinda foolish

So I wanna make you my toy
Feeling your custom kicks
