Dead Presidents Lyrics by Thomas Burgundy

Inner City Hues: The Secondhand Paintings

2017

[Verse 1]
This the part of the film where you pause it for comprehension
How'd the protagonist just progress to this position?
That he's in in, picked up the pen
Started drawing some attention
Critics draw comparisons, he draws an X over the competition
Don't let them gas you up but keep the vision fueled
Play your position, know your limits, and what isn't you
Ain't on the fence, just on a mission, on the move
Teamwork makes the dream work, my crew been fishing on the moon
And that's before the movie started
Now we start to leave them obsolete
Cause all my words got accent marks and apostrophes
Always been on top of these
Sucka MC's
Come get lost in these prophecies and bathroom stall philosophies
Flow hot as august be
But modestly
I should be
Always brought up with PAC & B.I.G
Nas & Andre 3k
Lupe, Wayne, Hov, Kendrick & Cole
And a revolver with plenty shots for who does not agree
Pardon me, my alter ego often speaks
But watch me vouch for him
We got that heat, discography will keep your house warm
Thou shall not sleep, we bout to eat, you show up now huh?
Oh now you showing up huh, eh
But for the record my president will never represent me
So we collecting dead presidents tryna get em to speak
With their persuasive intellect, no more requesting to eat
We just finessin' through oppression, perspective is everything
[Chorus: Nas (Sampled) & Thomas Burgundy]
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for dead f***** presidents to represent me
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for dead f***** presidents to represent me
[Verse 2]
Just had a conversation with my pops
The pros and cons of being versatile
Like tryna conjure up some verses not too personal
Or controversial versus purposefully wrote them just to stir emotions
With a purpose focused and they probably hurt yo feelings
Probably why every verse so militant
Cause the odds are stacked against us while we work so diligent
Feeling like Billy the kid, I'm young and villainous, I'm killing em
My imagery is like his picture worth 4 million
Or 5, but when i rhyme, yeah I disperse your affiliates
Tryna size me to a writer? Try a first name William
I'm a part time taxi driving a hearse for any lyricist
And if I ain't getting hotter, then the earth don't really spin
Since birth I really been the man, I'm Benjamin button
Letting us rummage through your cabinets and medicine cubbies
Cause we the illest
But there ain't no pill for this
I been built for this
Got these dummies talking, like I'm the ventriloquist
Awh
Sorry momma, growing up you taught me don't brag
And keep it humble but I'm a rapper now I can't go back
Cause the last rapper that tried to go toe to toe
I left him with a toe tag
Check the Edgar Allan Flow
That's what they raving about
While I'm just taking them out
Cause they tell tales, but in their heart
They ain't really bout
That life, so sit tight, press play and you gon see in time
The only thing between me and the greatest is an equal sign
