Dead Presidents II lyrics

[Chorus: Nas sample]

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 ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)

[Intro throughout Chorus]

Rock.. on, Roc-A-Fella y'all

The saga continues.. (what the fuck?)

[Verse 1]

Ahh, who wanna bet us that we don't touch lettuce

Stack cheddars forever, live treacherous, all the et ceteras

To the death of us: me and my confidants, we shine

You feel the ambiance, y'all niggas just rhyme

By the ounce, dough accumulates like snow

We don't just shine, we illuminate the whole show, you feel me?

Factions from the other side would love to kill me

Spill three quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat

Fuck 'em, they hate a nigga lovin' his life

In all possible ways, know the Feds is buggin' my life

Hospital days, reflectin' when my man laid up

On the uptown high block he got his side sprayed up

I saw his life slippin', this is a minor setback

Yo, still in all we livin', just dream about the get-back

That made him smile, though his eyes said "pray for me"

I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully

Murder is a tough thing to digest, it's a slow process

And I ain't got nothin' but time

I had near brushes, not to mention, three shots

Close range, never touched me: divine intervention

Can't stop I, from drinkin' Mai-Tai's, with Ty-Ty

Down in Nevada, ha ha, poppa, word life

I dabbled in crazy weight without rap, I was crazy straight

Partner, I'm still spendin' money from '88... what?

[Chorus: Nas sample]

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 ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)

[Verse 2]

Geyeah, know what? I'll make..

You and your wack mans fold like bad hands

Roll like Monopoly: advance

You're coppin' me like white crystal

I gross the most at the end of the fiscal year than these niggas can wish to

The dead presidential candidate

With the sprinkles and the Presidential, ice that'll offend you

In due time when crime flees my mind

All sneak thieves and player haters can shine

But until then, I keep the trilliant cut diamonds shinin' brilliant

I'll tell you half the story; the rest, you fill it in

Long as the villain win

I spend Japan yen, attend major events

Catch me in the joints, convinced my iguanas is bitin'

J-A-Y hyphen, controllin', manipulatin'

I got a good life, man, pounds and pence

'nough dollars make sense, while you ride the bench

Catch me swingin' for the fence

Dead Presidents, ya know? Uh-huh

[Chorus: Nas sample]

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 ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)

[Verse 3]

Ha ha (... ha ha) yeah, yeah, so be it

The Soviet, the Unified steady flow

You already know: you light, I'm heavy, roll heavy dough

Mic-macheted your flow, your paper falls slow like confetti

Mine's a steady grow, perico

Pay 580 for blow, better believe I have 1160 to show

My dough flip like Tae-Kwon

Jay-Z the Icon, baby, you like Dom

Maybe this Cristals'll change your life, huh? Roll with the winners

Heavy spinners like hit records: Roc-A-Fella

Don't get it corrected, this shit is perfected

From chips to chicks to strippin' a Lexus

Naked without your gun, we takin' everything you brung

We cakin', you niggas is fakin', we gettin' it done

Crime family, well-connected, Jay-Z

And you, fake thugs is unplugged like MTV

I empty three, take your treasure, my pleasure

Dead presidentials, politics as usu-al—BLAOW!

[Pre-Chorus: Nas sample]

Dead ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)

Dead ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)

Dead ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)

Dead ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)

[Chorus: Nas sample]

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 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 presidents to represent me (get money!)

I'm out for dead ****** presidents to represent me (whose...)
