lirik lagu ramis wadood – dead presidents 2021
[intro: mac smiff]
we came out here dressed in t~shirts and doing hula~hoops and stuff
and they started gassing us, so we came back with respirators
and they started shooting us, so we came back with vests
and they started aiming for the head, so we started wearing helmets
and now they call us terrorists
who’s escalating this? it’s not us
[verse 1: ramis wadood]
a wise man once said
k!ll your president before he k!lls your brethren
violence is the answer, brother, if its for your betterment
so tell me why you hesitant?
remember malcolm said by any means necessary
so why you settling for politics and money peddling?
bankroll the election just to get another political veteran
he be talking real sweet, say he better than
the other twenty gentleman, so then you bet on him and then
he k!lling and we dying
they stealing and they lying
they be taking out they anger on the heroes at the die~in
running out of reasons just to keep up all the violence
so they implement a curfew just to redefine defiance
they find it satisfying, to see us crying
but we keep rising up from ferguson to palestine
in my mind we’ll be fine, yea respectfully
so either get up out the way or have respect for me
[chorus: nas]
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: ramis wadood]
you talking revolution but i’m only one man
and what about the pacifism that they taught in our land?
this talk of violence corrupt
that’s what the colonizers said when they were tying us up
so get that talk up out your head before the fire erupt
meanwhile, sons and daughters
watching cops and robbers point their guns at fathers
and you wanna bust back?
that only takes us farther from a future with more mothers than martyrs
oh brother don’t bother quoting malcolm either
he put his life on the line, a true leader
you just another ivy leaguer
i know you got good intentions, no doubt that i believe you
but i think that you a little bit too eager
i don’t know why you can’t sit back and put your degree to
good use, don’t let your anger get the better of you
you gotta play your part and be smart, i know that’s the truth
so you can either stay in your lane, or stay out the booth
and that’s the truth
i know that’s the truth
and that’s the truth
[chorus: nas]
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 3: ramis wadood]
so tell me god why ain’t you blessing us now?
these trials and tribulations stressing us out
and we be holding on for better days
but you keep letting us down
don’t understand what all these lessons about
i wake up in the morning without no breath in my mouth
i’m panicking
i lost the high ground a long time ago
like anakin
frozen like a mannequin
as i watch the world burn
without a clue for what to do
even though it’s my turn
so do i pick up a pen or pick up a sword?
idolizing revolutionaries but won’t stick up for more
i slip up and fall knowing it’s my time to lead
afraid to bleed, so i back out and give up the ball
i’m sick of it all
feel like my life was better when
i was young and reckless, knew that my life irrelevant
i can’t help but think that all of this time is better spent
maybe i should just give up and focus on getting dead presidents
[chorus: nas]
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
