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
