Dead Presidents Lyrics

[Intro: Nas]
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me
I’m out for dead fucking presidents to fucking feel me
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me
I’m out for dead fucking presidents to fucking feel me

[Verse 1: SkiBs]
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me
Just so that they would know when I’d be spittin’ fucking filthy
And we’ll be, working a grind till it fucking kills me
And still be, iller than sick, nothing can fucking heal me
I swear, I ain’t gon’ stop for just a rip and a tear
Cuz’ I’ll be up against some dudes who ain’t got shit to compare
Like shit it ain’t fair, but i’ll be still remainin’ calm
Cuz’ I hear these other dudes and I know I can take ‘em on
Droppin’ bombs, no Jäger, I’m hittin’ on, moving on to the majors
I’m going for the paper, so hater, you go and see me later
Cuz’ I’m an all tesselate, run on the Lakers
I hate, hate, but now I’m talkin’ real shit
Got this foundation, like, man I gotta build shit
President Jay-Z and J. Cole killed it
So now I spit it, trying to be one of the illest
[Hook: Jay-Z & SkiBs] [x2]

I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me [x3]
I’m out for dead fucking presidents to fucking feel me

[Verse 2: SkiBs]

I’m out for presidents, legends, anyone who would listen
Anyone who would come and give me a path for me to step in
I be blessin’, I be rappin’ every second that I’m gettin’
But I never got a lesson, so mostly I be guessin’
It helps to beat the peasants on the way to the top
Yeah I’m workin’ hard, I’m claiming my spot
On instrumentals, man I’m fucking mental
And I’m crazy like dogs without their kennel
But I’m not a fucking pet, put the pedal to the metal
I’m rookie, all the vets, but I’m going for the medals
Nothing but a rapper but I made it pretty far
It’s hard to create and not change who you are
And clearly, ya’ll ain’t coming near me
But I don’t want nobody to fear me
I just want somebody to hear me
I’m out for presidents to feel me, to feel me


[Hook: Jay-Z & SkiBs] [x2]
I’m out for presidents to fucking feel me [x3]
I’m out for dead fucking presidents to fucking feel me

[Outro: SkiBs]

I’m out for presidents to mother fucking feel me
Man, cuz’ I am spittin’ so mother fucking filthy
So can you hear me
Man, can anybody hear me
Man, does anybody feel me

How to Format Lyrics:
