Dead Prez

[Verse 1] I'm green and inexperienced, dreamin' 'bout that chariot Stay sparked and trade cards, he know that they be cheerin' it On, I'm feelin' grown when I spray my cologne Got a mind of my own, but time's tickin' too long And I got a plan to restore the game This shit was lookin' quite critical right before we came Co and caine flow in that novacane for your open veins All we need is somethin' medicinal, torch the flame Third rail skippin' over missin' track Soundin' like the kicks and claps that filled the gaps for missin' tracks The 3rd Kind been real, we just missin' Jakk Food for thought, but I tossed the scraps in a doggy bag Rehearsin' verses in my head, no iPod Gave my life to Jah and still can't find a job So what I'm rhymin' for, to put these new Nikes on? Or to hide the scars from the eyes of God? [Chorus] Is there a heaven for us hip-hop heathens? Big Pop and Pac, even Eazy had 'em leanin' We all children lookin' for a reason What do you believe in? Betrayal, treason? Is there a heaven for us hip-hop heathens? Big Pop and Pac, even Eazy had 'em leanin' We all children lookin' for a reason What do you believe in? [Bridge] I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents that represent me I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents that represent me [Verse 2] "Ayo, STEEZ, let me send you a track I've been a fan for a while and I appreciate you hittin' me back 'Cause me and you, we like similar cats, just tryna get on the map And I would love to work with you and Jakk" But I'm afraid it's not as simple as that 'Cause the symphonies and melodies Haven't been havin' the same chemistry The distance fact is only addin' on stress And it's hard for me to live up to what you expect from me The Yellow Tape was a warnin' sign It's hard to cut straight to the chase without a dotted line And if I made that the bottom line Then I guess The Kind hit rock bottom about a thousand times Some people like to compromise for the dollar sign, but I had my mind aside I told Jakk from the get that I'm a ride-or-die And I'd rather die by homicide Instead of goin' out without a pride [Chorus] Is there a heaven for us hip-hop heathens? Big Pop and Pac, even Eazy had 'em leanin' We all children lookin' for a reason What do you believe in? Betrayal, treason? Is there a heaven for us hip-hop heathens? Big Pop and Pac, even Eazy had 'em leanin' We all children lookin' for a reason What do you believe in? [Bridge] I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents that represent me I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents that represent me [Verse 3] Presidents that represent me up on some G shit Tryna stay afloat so long, they got me seasick It's been a good minute since we kicked it And I'm still hopin' that you come home for a weekend So I could kick it like a kid again I was all constructive like criticism and Timberlands But I remember back in the days When we was goin' through that Torch and Excalibur phase [Chorus] Is there a heaven for us hip-hop heathens? Big Pop and Pac, even Eazy had 'em leanin' We all children lookin' for a reason What do you believe in? Betrayal, treason? Is there a heaven for us hip-hop heathens? Big Pop and Pac, even Eazy had 'em leanin' We all children lookin' for a reason What do you believe in (Believe in)? [Bridge] I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency Dead fuckin' presidents that represent me
