[Verse 2 - Jay-Z] So sick of niggas I want money like Cosby who wouldn't It's this kind of talk that make me think You probably ain't got no pudding Niggas got them kinda dreams from jail You in the streets nigga Make your move get your get your mail Niggas are coastin' the S.L. but can't post bail Niggas are roast the L. But scared to throw your toast well I am here to tell niggas it ain't all swell There's heaven then there's hell niggas One day your cruisin' in ya seven Next day your sweatin' forgetin' your lies Alibis ain't matchin' up, bullshit catchin' up Hit with the rico, they repo your vehicle Everything was all good just a week ago Bout to start bitchin' ain't you Ready to start snitchin' ain't you I forgive your weak ass hustlin' just ain't you Aside from the fast cars Hunnies that shake they ass at bars You know you wouldn't be involved With the underworld dealers, carriers and mac-miller's East-coast bodiers, west-coast cap peelers Little monkey niggas turn gorilla's Stopped in the station filled up on noctane And now they not sane, and not playin' That goes without sayin' Slangin' day in and day out With money playin' then they play you out Tryin' to escape my own mind Lurkin' the enemy representin' infinite With presidencies you know
[Chorus - Nas] Dead Presidents to represent me [x4] I'm out for presidents to represent me [x7] I'm out for Dead Presidents to represent me.
