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

[Hook]
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 fucking presidents to represent me

[Intro]
I ain't been here in a minute so, I got a lot of ventin' to do

[Verse 1]
Scared of tomorrow, hearts they full of sorrow
Word to moms I'm tired of all this bull, no Chicago
Should I face my problems or just drown them with this bottle?
Tough decision but either way its goin' be hard to swallow
So now I'm thinking man up, but what the hell do I know?
Mama's saying the family's strugglin', I'm like "I know"
I take another deep breath, try to make the time slow
Cause god knows my dreams are hard to reach like a high note
My name means leader, I'm trying not to follow
And stay away from weed, but my life is full of pot holes
And I be swerving in em like I'm driving with my eyes closed
I kinda like the thrill of it, I can't even lie though
These rappers only do it for the chance to say I got those
While I be thinkin' future for my kids, they thinking models
Before everybody was playing me like the lotto
But once I'm getting mega millions they gon' be like bravo
Huh yeah and I'm goin' be like I know, huh yeah yeah I know
Uh tell me why you lookin' surprised though
Is it because you was the same ones saying that I won't?

[Hook]
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 fucking presidents to represent me
[X2]

[Verse 2]
Now as I am sitting here debating where it began
I gotta tell it like it is, I ain't here to pretend
It kinda hurts to see these rappers getting exposure and noticed
When it feels like it should be me cause I'm better but no one knows it
And I, don't get it twisted I ain't hating I'm just hurting
Maybe I'm just saying this because I'm young and I'm still learning
But you would say the same thing if you was working hard
And you felt like your boss gave your promotion to the wrong person
Trust me, I'm happy for you but if I made the decision
Honestly, I think I'm just more fit for the position
So I'll just keep on watching, yeah I hate it it burns
But for now I'll keep on working and just waiting my turn
Because I'm destined to make it, because I'm destined for greatness
If I keep pressing and chasing I know I'm bound to blow up
Feeling like I'm stood up on a date because my time didn't show up
Hoping it all is coming soon because I'm almost grown up
Why am I the one chosen, why am I the one broken?
Even though it might seem like I'm confident, underneath I'm just hoping
I'm feeling like a Jehovah witness knocking door to door
But every time I'm praying to god that it'll open, but pause
Come on man, you can't think like that
Don't let failure cross your mind, I mean to think like that
You better not be giving up cause it sure seems like that
And you know damn well you wasn't taught to dream like that
It's better to know that I'm nice, I'm letting it go can't think twice
I'm ready to blow let's get right
Keep steady, we close, it's in sight
So if you by chance have a toast, look up at the sky
And take a second just to celebrate the star of the night
Ha oh wait, that would be me though
And yeah you gon' keep hatin' on me so
I'm sure whoever he is he probably spit real good
And I don't know him but I know he ain't nicer than me yo

[Hook]
