Presidential Lyrics by Lighter Shade of Brown

If You Could See Inside Me

1999

[Verse 1: DTTX]
Boy we sitting in a pond full of killers
Fishing for the scrilla
Multi-millionaire drug dealers
Lifestyles of the rich & scandalous
Contacts connect & ride to Los Angeles
Sitting in the city of sin
Trying to put things together
So we could all make ends
In the world it’s a struggle
So hustle we must
Knowing it’s all about self
And it’s never about us
And I’m a ride till the caskets fall
Till the end of time
And we ain’t got no money to ball
Just a thug in the night
Kinda trife got a homie upstate
Doing 25 to life
Had to send him a kite
You know the world is a ghetto
And I’m caught up in
Is spreading my seed
And poverty is steady killing me
Can’t trust no one
So just face it
Cause when I look around
All I see is hella hatin’
[Chorus: Jay Tee]
Killafornia
So make some money
Let me warn ya
Catch your 3rd strike
And they’ll be all up on ya
You got to pay the cost
If you trying to ride presidential
Knowing how to sell your game
Is essential
(2X)
[Verse 2: ODM]
I’m in the bed
Balling in 98’ Lex
Surrounded by dealers
With half decks & chrome tecs
I don’t sweat the system
Never played the bad guy
Strictly independent
With an alias to go by
My props deep
Deeper than Atlantis
Cash comes in masses
When the sticky green flashes
In your face
See it’s the game of survival
Cross my path
Then you’s a suicidal gravel
I comes with a vengeance
I’m out for the riches
Take super fly misses
And turn em into bitches
See I claim to fame
It’s all about the scrilla
And who got connect
And whose a real killer
From the OC, the IE, the NY, the LB
Any territory that’s all in the family
So when you see me
Mobbing in the 63’
Best remember that it’s going down majorly
[Chorus: Jay Tee]
Killafornia
So make some money
Let me warn ya
Catch your 3rd strike
And they’ll be all up on ya
You got to pay the cost
If you trying to ride presidential
Knowing how to sell your game
Is essential
(2X)
[Verse 3: Kid Frost]
Now there ain’t no symbols or patterns
Or how you get your grind (grind on)
The lady stacking dollars
Is all I keep my mind on
See I’m still on another
And you struggle to bubble
And arise
Let the all mighty dollar open up my eyes
And I remember the game without a blood stain
But like they say
No pain no gain
Cause I lost some down homies
Along the way
Big ups to the city of LA
Home of the gangstas
Land of the thugstas
Nickel slick playas
Big time Hustlas
Out of town licks
They get hit on the daily
Knowing that my new plot
To come up on daily
[?] my brown skin will prevail
I’m the captain of the ship
I gots to keep afloat to sail
There’s a lot of suckas
Sweating my steeze
Cause they don’t make no G’s like these
Oh yeah, Frost
[Chorus: Jay Tee]
Killafornia
So make some money
Let me warn ya
Catch your 3rd strike
And they’ll be all up on ya
You got to pay the cost
If you trying to ride presidential
Knowing how to sell your game
Is essential
(4X)
