Mfasis - Dead Presidents [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Nas Intro)

{Verse 1}
I'm calm on the outside but on the inside I'm going ballistic, they say the odds are against me but I'm not wired for statistics
I'm wise beyond my years I know life's one long battle they here for your brighter days but when it gets dark they go missing like a shadow
I run this game like a track I gotta watch my back in case niggas wanna run up nd jump me like a hurdle
I'm far from slow but I stay with green and shells like a turtle
So you know i stay prepared all emcees beware other niggas that dare compare to me get declared garbage cause their rapping ain't shit like a 3 year olds gifts
My minds been twisted ever since i seen the illegal powder that a 13 year old sniffed my heart went stiff
If money is the shit then i could use a wiff i woulda saved up and got that clapper I'm nothing like these whack ass rappers who rap ass backwards
These dumb-ass niggas don't practice so their rhymes stay dry like a cactus and they see me perfecting my shit so they sit and judge like Mathis or Judy
So quick to say slick shit but never knew me hip hops a lit bitch only real rappers can see the beauty, they try to hold me back like dead weight but i stay calm and maintain and try not to show pain cause there's nothing left to gain but a headache
I used to wonder why Im here so i looked up to god and I asked it, and he replied by saying you here to survive and do you until you stretched out in a casket

{Hook}

I want paper like Jigga-man shit wouldn't you
But bread isn't worth committing sins that you
But its so hard to listen when you stuck out here wishing that there was food in the kitchen and everybody would stop bitching about
Irrelevant shit on the news its just there to keep you confused they don't wanna inform you they just wanna keep you amused
I just wanna make money and live well and get the big picture without getting street stuck like Big L
These niggas wanna get to fighting, when they the ones who stole the rhymes I was writing, Now I know you not Obama so why you so cool wit Biden?
But its only a matter of time before some more inspiration hits me like lightning while you sit there with the yuck face
You mad cause you so weak and Im at my peak and I passed the zone
You know this you get so pissed that it starts to hurt like you passed a stone
I started rapping wit an idea and some intuition by the time I'm done I'm gonna have a body bag full of the competition
