Pardon Me

[Verse 1] This the part of the film where you pause it for comprehension How'd the protagonist just progress to this position? That he's in in, picked up the pen Started drawing some attention Critics draw comparisons, he draws an X over the competition Don't let them gas you up but keep the vision fueled Play your position, know your limits, and what isn't you Ain't on the fence, just on a mission, on the move Teamwork makes the dream work, my crew been fishing on the moon And that's before the movie started Now we start to leave them obsolete Cause all my words got accent marks and apostrophes Always been on top of these Sucka MC's Come get lost in these prophecies and bathroom stall philosophies Flow hot as august be But modestly I should be Always brought up with PAC & B.I.G Nas & Andre 3k Lupe, Wayne, Hov, Kendrick & Cole And a revolver with plenty shots for who does not agree Pardon me, my alter ego often speaks But watch me vouch for him We got that heat, discography will keep your house warm Thou shall not sleep, we bout to eat, you show up now huh? Oh now you showing up huh, eh But for the record my president will never represent me So we collecting dead presidents tryna get em to speak With their persuasive intellect, no more requesting to eat We just finessin' through oppression, perspective is everything [Chorus: Nas (Sampled) & Thomas Burgundy] 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 f***** presidents to represent me 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 f***** presidents to represent me [Verse 2] Just had a conversation with my pops The pros and cons of being versatile Like tryna conjure up some verses not too personal Or controversial versus purposefully wrote them just to stir emotions With a purpose focused and they probably hurt yo feelings Probably why every verse so militant Cause the odds are stacked against us while we work so diligent Feeling like Billy the kid, I'm young and villainous, I'm killing em My imagery is like his picture worth 4 million Or 5, but when i rhyme, yeah I disperse your affiliates Tryna size me to a writer? Try a first name William I'm a part time taxi driving a hearse for any lyricist And if I ain't getting hotter, then the earth don't really spin Since birth I really been the man, I'm Benjamin button Letting us rummage through your cabinets and medicine cubbies Cause we the illest But there ain't no pill for this I been built for this Got these dummies talking, like I'm the ventriloquist Awh Sorry momma, growing up you taught me don't brag And keep it humble but I'm a rapper now I can't go back Cause the last rapper that tried to go toe to toe I left him with a toe tag Check the Edgar Allan Flow That's what they raving about While I'm just taking them out Cause they tell tales, but in their heart They ain't really bout That life, so sit tight, press play and you gon see in time The only thing between me and the greatest is an equal sign
