Dead Prez Lyrics by Capital STEEZ

AmeriKKKan Korruption: Reloaded

2012

[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
