Kiana Ledé challenges the president and his current political stance during these recent protests.

Like millions of other American citizens, Kiana Ledé has a few questions for Donald Trump. The R&B singer recently released her album KIKI, but the songstress returns with a single that is focused on the current political and social climate in the United States. Kiana, like the rest of the world, has either participated in or watched as people have protested in their city's streets or taken over social media with calls of policy reform in an effort to gain equality and equity for all.

The singer shared "Dear Mr. President," a song that is stripped down of over-production as Kiana Ledé delivers a straightforward, intimate track speaking directly to the President of the United States. She asks Trump if he's even concerned about the citizens he's supposed to serve and in the accompanying video, Kiana shares clips of recent protests that show how unified people have been to see real change in America. Check out "Dear Mr. President" by Kiana Ledé and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
