Dead Prez by Jae Smoove Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm the poster child of the 90's, too reckless for fake to clown me
I drown in that holy water, my first breath after holy water
Was damn no longer a sinner, next day I was back sinning
When pops would date different women, my mother moved out his building
Momma lived in the gardens, where snakes will give us no pardons
Same life would make me a target, not saying that I'm the hardest
People I knew from ferry, and friends from around the perrys
Would keep me way out of trouble, stayed humble, that's what they tell me
Now I'm closer to walden, try to move but I'm stalling
Rock bottom was calling, but had that caller i.d
Was the sorriest sight to see, got me lost with no G O D
Crooked preacher no help believe, I took pen and and found missing links
Bottom of totem poles, hurting like broken souls
To the top is the way to go, and I'm running up rocky road
Should I collapse and plummet back into a load of stress
I promise I'll do it best, kid my word is all I have left
[Hook]
I'm out for presidents to represent me
I'm out for presidents to represent me
I'm out for presidents to represent me
I'm out for dead fucking presidents to represent me
[Verse 2]
Still the poster child of the 90's, too reckless for fake to clown me
I drown in parafanellia, hope god don't collect my bounty
Too early to see my halo, inhale a bunch of tornados
Surround by all these Kains, killing success, your Able
To feel it deep in the center, the world's approaching it's winter
Thinking if I was a winner, have money to pay for dinner
Forget a lotto, a quick come up could help me buy a bottle
The idol I used to follow, lay idle, no more tomorrow
This sorrow can not be real, everyday like the lead is spilled
Another body's being dropped and my paper has had it's fill
Looking for life, that's real, while the earth is stuck standing still
Dammit how freedom knock you down, but the cage is you place to heal
That's ying and yang, there's no growth with out the presence of pain
Fear, translates to confidence, hunger could keep you tamed
Stick to my lane, of propane, pyrotechnic, straight to the game
Pushing to make a change, fuck coins, think with your brain
I'm out for presidents to represent me
[Hook]
