dead dignitaries - frankie the one lyrics

[verse 1]

to walk around with spite’s to be the ghost of living
all grudges to oblivion, bet i won’t be slipping
handbuilt v8 engines for the ambition
to match the raps i craft with amg precision
it’s safe to say my displacement is far from zero
moving at such velocity’s gotten me to dinero
engineered to rival the legacy of the pharaohs
john chilembwes and franklins are really my only heroes
what your politicians tell me just does not compel me
they want my vote i share the sentiments of akinyele
no living leader ever fed me, yet their pockets heavy
but my dough would overflow if they dropped the levies
financial freedom’s the mythic labour i’m living with
facing resistance has chipped away at my innocence
with knowledge comes sorrow i’m missing the bliss of ignorance
on my flight to freedom i picture the wings of icarus
overcaution or hubris, you’ll blow it like mt vesuvius
i’m in the booth to feed you the truth like a eucharist
like blinding persecutors to see the light and adopt it
doesn’t matter who’s in office i’m destined to make a profit

[chorus]
i’m out for presidents to represent me
i’m out for presidents to represent me
i’m out for presidents to represent me
i’m out for dead presidents to represent me
i’m out for presidents to represent me
i’m out for presidents to represent me
i’m out for presidents to represent me
i’m out for dead presidents to represent me

[verse 2]

let’s be clear, man i came for a cause
you think i lay my sins bare in exchange for applause? please
i see the beauty and the pain in my flaws
but i’m blowing heads off when i aim for the jaws
when i’m writing i’m ’86 mike tyson
fighting trevor berbick, each jab is about timing
dodge and weave with the beat and striking it like lightning
they’re floored by the hook, coz it’s decadent like icing
consider it repentance when giving my pen attention
re up and i raise the bars releasing all my convictions
stitching up all the snitches who witnessed me break convention
shawshank or red dead, i’m riding for my redemption
as for corrupt souls there’s really no defending them
how do you justify doing less than the bare minimum?
everything’s for sale, integrity inclusive
and thinking the game’s fair is just a dream that’s lucid
if sk!ll sold, truth be told:
then the gravitas of each bars’ worth its weight in gold
while wading in the euphrates is what i’m up to lately
my attitude is still just ‘f*ck you. pay me’
