Dead Presidents |
Uh-huh |
Gon' have a lil' bit of fun today |
Rap to some, shit just layin around |
Don’t take me too serious; |
y’knahmsayin? |
{*scratch: «Havin cash is highly addictive |
Especially when you used to havin money to live with» — Mobb Deep*} |
I’m «Illmatic» when it comes to countin my dough |
1's and 5's go to wifey son, you know how that go |
I’m probably posted in a hotel after a show |
Countin show and merch' money, rubber band on my rolls |
I think I was 13 or 14 |
When my parents had to have a little talk with me |
They told me money don’t grow on trees |
And ever since then I’ve been on my P’s |
Up and out the house into the morning air |
Needed a 9 to 5 job and I didn’t care where |
Then finally found two at the Ohio State Fair |
Just to spend all the money that I made on gear |
Fast forward to the present now rap’s my job |
But I’m still goin after it hard |
Because I know the ride could end just as fast as it starts |
And I’ll be right back on the block with «Dead Presidents» |

Uh-huh… huh |
You need to stop rappin, if you ain’t seein no perks |
No fanbase, no cream, no skirts |
I study bad music like it was my homework |
I learn the most from whack gimmicks that don’t work |
It’s true, you could learn a lot from a dummy |
I learned how to make money, and hold it tight |
So nobody on God’s green earth can take it from me |
And when they try I make it ugly, feel that |
See I’m inspired by real rap |
Those that tried hard to chart and still failed |
Those told the earth was flat and still sailed |
They went against all odds and did well |
Every wish that accompanies a penny in a well |
Is the dream of a criminal, sittin in a jail |
Livin in hell, head spinnin in a cell |
About to break but held together by fam sendin him mail |
With «Dead Presidents» |
— echoes and fades, beat plays to end |
