(Hook: Nas)
Presidents to represent me
I'm out for presidents to represent me
I'm out for dead f**in' presidents to represent me
(Intro: 7J)
Yeah whut up man? yeah
(Verse 1)
Uh im rhymin' like I got a million thoughts, I rhyme about
The good life, don't always look right
If you dig deeper, everybody want a slice
A good piece, a piece of the rack they got
Inside the money men rep. the god
The money men replicas
The real god is watchin em, he sets 'em up
No n***a can't sleep alone
On mind is money without it the sleep is gone
The sleep is something for the feds
Police lifestyle is more or less
Messin' up this world, they talk behind
Remote controlling we walkin' blind
They talk politics, they joke around
Dead presidents talkin' loud
I wanna talk too, I tryna be louder than that
It's a miracle these people allow me to rap
One day we gotta pay for takin' a breath
The old world we tryna get uh....
That's what is all about man, but the love for the real family goes first tho, be ready to die for ya family before you ready to die tryin' getting rich man, y'all remember
(Hook: Nas)
(Verse 2)
I keep this vibe goin' and I'm showin'
I'm tired of it but I keep tellin' it
I tell stories I kno' about
These stories I tell 'em loud
Cuz' I say what I see, I say what I feel
Through them years I realize every day is real
These n***as won't give up that's why this state don't give up
Like a bone for a dog they throw up, we tryna snatch
Yeah that's what we do, what it look like
Ridiculous life but who would fight
They k**in' 'em, many heroes pa**ed away
Some of em livin', I'm talkin' Ca**ius Clay
But what we do for? what's the youth for?
Integrating into the system, are you sure?
Teachin' how to get through the system
Dedicate ma life to the system? f** that
f** presidents f** dead presidents
Quit ma job I turn into a junk resident
f** what you think I'mma do what you don't
Cuz I kno what is on, u keep actin' grown
No, ain't nobody gotta talk to me
I kno it already just stop stalkin' me
Dead presidents reawaken now
Black zombies walk around, y'all one of 'em
(Hook: Nas)
