Joey Bada$$ (joey Bada**) - Dead Prez lyrics

[Produced by Joey Bada$$] [Verse 1] I'm green and inexperienced, dreamin' 'bout that chariots Stay sparked and trade cards, he know that they be cheering it On, I'm feeling grown when I spray my cologne Got a mind of my own, but time's ticking too long And I got a plan to restore the game This sh** was looking quite critical right before we came Co and cane flow in that novacane for your open veins All we need is something medicinal, torch the flame Third rail skippin' over missin' track Soundin' like the kicks and claps that filled the gaps for missing tracks The third kind been real, we just missin' Jack Food for thought, but I tossed the scraps in a doggy bag Rehearsin' verses in my head, no iPod Gave my life to Ja and still can't find a job So what I'm grindin' for, to put these new Nikes on Or to hide the scars from the eyes of God [Hook x2] Is there 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? [Bridge x2] I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead presidency I'm out for dead f**in' presidents that represent me [Verse 2] "Hey yo, STEEZ, lemme 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 tryin' to 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 Khan 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'mma ride or die And I'd rather die by homicide Instead of goin' out without a pride [Hook & Bridge] [Verse 3] Presidents that represent me up on some G sh** Tryin' to 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 Timbaland But I remember back in the days When we was goin' through that Torch and Excalibur phase [Hook & Bridge]
