Lyrics Translation

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 fuckin' presidents to represent me

Ahh, who wanna bet us that we don't touch lettuce?
Stack cheddars forever, live treacherous, all the et ceteras
To the death of us, me and my confidants, we shine
You feel the ambiance, y'all niggas just rhyme
By the ounce, dough accumulates like snow
We don't just shine, we illuminate the whole show, you feel me?
Factions from the other side would love to kill me
Spill three quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat
Fuck 'em, they hate a nigga lovin' his life
In all possible ways, know the Feds is buggin' my life
Hospital days, reflectin' when my man laid up
On the uptown high block, he got his side sprayed up
I saw his life slippin', this is a minor setback
Yo, still in all we livin', just dream about the get-back
That made him smile, though his eyes said "pray for me"
I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully
Murder is a tough thing to digest, it's a slow process
And I ain't got nothin' but time
I had near brushes, not to mention
Three shots, close range, never touched me, divine intervention
Can't stop I, from drinkin' Mai-Tai's, with Ty-Ty
Down in Nevada, ha ha, poppa, word life
I dabbled in crazy weight without rap, I was crazy straight
Partner, I'm still spendin' money from '88, what?

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 fuckin' presidents to represent me

Yeah, know what?
I'll make, you and your wack mans fold like bad hands
Roll like Monopoly, advance
You're coppin' me like white crystal
I gross the most at the end of the fiscal year than these niggas could wish to
The dead presidential candidate
With the sprinkles and the Presidential, ice that'll offend you
In due time when crime flees my mind
All sneak thieves and player haters can shine
But until then, I keep the trilliant cut diamonds shinin' brilliant
I'll tell you half the story, the rest, you fill it in
Long as the villain win
I spend Japan Yen, attend major events
Catch me in the joints, convinced my iguanas is bitin'
J-A-Y hyphen, controllin', manipulatin'
I got a good life, man, pounds and pence
'Nough dollars make sense, while you ride the bench
Catch me swingin' for the fence
Dead presidents, ya know? Uh-huh

Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
Dead fuckin' 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 fuckin' presidents to represent me

Yeah, so be it
The Soviet, the Unified steady flow
You already know: you light, I'm heavy, roll heavy dough
Mic-macheted your flow
Your paper falls slow like confetti, mine's a steady grow, perico
Pay 580 for blow, better believe I have 1160 to show
My dough flip like Tae-Kwon
Jay-Z the icon, baby, you like Dom?
Maybe this Cristals'll change your life, huh? Roll with the winners
Heavy spinners like hit records: Roc-A-Fella
Don't get it corrected, this shit is perfected
From chips to chicks to strippin' a Lexus
Naked without your gun, we takin' everything you brung
We cakin', you niggas is fakin', we gettin' it done
Crime family, well-connected, Jay-Z
And you, fake thugs is unplugged like MTV
I empty three, take your treasure, my pleasure
Dead presidentials, politics as usual, blaow!

Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
Dead fuckin' 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 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 fuckin' presidents to represent me

[Refrain: Nas]
I'm out for presidents to represent me
I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents to represent me

[Couplet 1]
Who wanna bet us that we don't touch lettuce
Stack cheddars forever
Live treacherous, all the et ceteras
To the death of us: me and my confidants, we shine
You feel the ambiance, y'all niggas just rhyme
By the ounce, dough accumulates like snow
We don't just shine, we illuminate the whole show, you feel me ?
Factions from the other side would love to kill me
Spill 3 quarts of my blood into the street
Let alone the heat
Fuck em, they hate a nigga loving this life
In all possible ways, know the Feds is buggin my life
Hospital dazed, reflecting when my man laid up
On the uptown high block he got his side sprayed up
I saw his life slipping, this is a minor setback
Yo, still in all we living, just dream about the get-back
That made him smile, though his eyes said "pray for me"
I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully
Murder is a tough thing to digest, it's a slow process
And I ain't got nothing but time
I had near brushes, not to mention
Three shots close range, never touched me: divine intervention
Can't stop I, from drinking Mai-Tai's, with Ty-Ty
Down in Nevada, ha ha, Poppa, word life
I dabbled in crazy weight
Without rap, I was crazy straight
Partna, I'm still spending money from '88

[Refrain]

[Couplet 2]
I'll make you and your whack mans
Fold like bad hands
Roll like Monopoly: advance
You're copping me like white crystal
I gross the most at the end of the fiscal year than these niggas can wish to
The dead presidential candidate
With the sprinkles and the Presidential, ice that'll offend you
In due time when crime flees my mind
All sneak thieves and player haters can shine
But until then I keep the trilliant cut diamonds shining brilliant
I'll tell you half the story, the rest you fill it in
Long as the villain win
I spend Japan yen, attend major events
Catch me in the joints, convinced my iguanas is biting
J-A-Y hyphen, controlling, manipulating
I got a good life man, pounds and pence
Nuff dollars make sense, while you ride the bench
Catch me swinging for the fence
Dead Presidents, ya know?

[Refrain]

[Couplet 3]
So be it, the Soviet, the Unified steady flow
You already know: you light, I'm heavy, roll heavy dough
Mic-macheted your flow
Your paper falls slow like confetti
Mines a steady grow, perico
Pay 580 for blow, better believe
I have 1160 to show, my dough flip like Tae-Kwon
Jay-Z The Icon, baby, you like Dom, maybe this Cristals'll
Change your life, huh? Roll with the winners
Heavy spinners like hit records: Roc-A-Fella
Don't get it corrected, this shit is perfected

We cakin', you niggas is fakin', we getting it done
Crime Family, well-connected Jay-Z
And you fake thugs is unplugged like MTV
I empty three, take your treasure, my pleasure
Dead presidentials, politics as usual

Presidents to represent me
Presidentes para me representar
I'm out for presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de presidentes para me representar
I'm out for presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de presidentes para me representar
I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de malditos presidentes mortos para me representar
Ahh, who wanna bet us that we don't touch lettuce?
Ahh, quem quer apostar conosco que não tocamos alface?
Stack cheddars forever, live treacherous, all the et ceteras
Empilhamos queijos para sempre, vivemos traiçoeiramente, todos os etceteras
To the death of us, me and my confidants, we shine
Até a morte de nós, eu e meus confidentes, nós brilhamos
You feel the ambiance, y'all niggas just rhyme
Você sente a ambiência, vocês apenas rimam
By the ounce, dough accumulates like snow
Por onça, a massa acumula como neve
We don't just shine, we illuminate the whole show, you feel me?
Nós não apenas brilhamos, iluminamos todo o show, você me entende?
Factions from the other side would love to kill me
Facções do outro lado adorariam me matar
Spill three quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat
Derramar três quartos do meu sangue na rua, sem falar no calor
Fuck 'em, they hate a nigga lovin' his life
Foda-se, eles odeiam um negro amando sua vida
In all possible ways, know the Feds is buggin' my life
De todas as maneiras possíveis, sei que os federais estão perturbando minha vida
Hospital days, reflectin' when my man laid up
Dias de hospital, refletindo quando meu homem se deitou
On the uptown high block, he got his side sprayed up
No quarteirão alto do uptown, ele levou um tiro no lado
I saw his life slippin', this is a minor setback
Eu vi sua vida escorregando, isso é um pequeno revés
Yo, still in all we livin', just dream about the get-back
Yo, ainda estamos vivendo, apenas sonhando com a revanche
That made him smile, though his eyes said "pray for me"
Isso fez ele sorrir, embora seus olhos dissessem "ore por mim"
I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully
Vou fazer melhor e matar esses negros fielmente
Murder is a tough thing to digest, it's a slow process
Assassinato é uma coisa difícil de digerir, é um processo lento
And I ain't got nothin' but time
E eu não tenho nada além de tempo
I had near brushes, not to mention
Eu tive quase escovadas, sem mencionar
Three shots, close range, never touched me, divine intervention
Três tiros, à queima-roupa, nunca me tocaram, intervenção divina
Can't stop I, from drinkin' Mai-Tai's, with Ty-Ty
Não posso parar eu, de beber Mai-Tai's, com Ty-Ty
Down in Nevada, ha ha, poppa, word life
Em Nevada, ha ha, papai, palavra de vida
I dabbled in crazy weight without rap, I was crazy straight
Eu me envolvi em peso louco sem rap, eu estava louco direto
Partner, I'm still spendin' money from '88, what?
Parceiro, ainda estou gastando dinheiro de '88, o que?
I'm out for presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de presidentes para me representar
I'm out for presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de presidentes para me representar
I'm out for presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de presidentes para me representar
I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de malditos presidentes mortos para me representar
Yeah, know what?
Sabe de uma coisa?
I'll make, you and your wack mans fold like bad hands
Vou fazer você e seus manos patéticos se dobrarem como mãos ruins
Roll like Monopoly, advance
Rolo como Monopólio, avanço
You're coppin' me like white crystal
Você está me copiando como cristal branco
I gross the most at the end of the fiscal year than these niggas could wish to
Eu bruto o máximo no final do ano fiscal do que esses caras poderiam desejar
The dead presidential candidate
O candidato presidencial morto
With the sprinkles and the Presidential, ice that'll offend you
Com os confeitos e o Presidencial, gelo que vai te ofender
In due time when crime flees my mind
No devido tempo, quando o crime foge da minha mente
All sneak thieves and player haters can shine
Todos os ladrões sorrateiros e haters de jogadores podem brilhar
But until then, I keep the trilliant cut diamonds shinin' brilliant
Mas até então, mantenho os diamantes de corte trilhante brilhando brilhantemente
I'll tell you half the story, the rest, you fill it in
Vou te contar metade da história, o resto, você preenche
Long as the villain win
Contanto que o vilão vença
I spend Japan Yen, attend major events
Eu gasto ienes japoneses, participo de grandes eventos
Catch me in the joints, convinced my iguanas is bitin'
Me pegue nas articulações, convencido de que minhas iguanas estão mordendo
J-A-Y hyphen, controllin', manipulatin'
J-A-Y hífen, controlando, manipulando
I got a good life, man, pounds and pence
Eu tenho uma boa vida, cara, libras e pence
'Nough dollars make sense, while you ride the bench
Dólares suficientes fazem sentido, enquanto você fica no banco
Catch me swingin' for the fence
Me pegue balançando para a cerca
Dead presidents, ya know? Uh-huh
Presidentes mortos, sabe? Uh-huh

Sim, que assim seja
The Soviet, the Unified steady flow
O soviético, o fluxo constante unificado
You already know: you light, I'm heavy, roll heavy dough
Você já sabe: você é leve, eu sou pesado, rolo massa pesada
Mic-macheted your flow
Mic-macheteou seu fluxo
Your paper falls slow like confetti, mine's a steady grow, perico
Seu papel cai devagar como confete, o meu é um crescimento constante, perico
Pay 580 for blow, better believe I have 1160 to show
Pago 580 por sopro, é melhor acreditar que tenho 1160 para mostrar
My dough flip like Tae-Kwon
Minha massa vira como Tae-Kwon
Jay-Z the icon, baby, you like Dom?
Jay-Z o ícone, baby, você gosta de Dom?
Maybe this Cristals'll change your life, huh? Roll with the winners

Giradores pesados como discos de sucesso: Roc-A-Fella
Don't get it corrected, this shit is perfected
Não corrija, essa merda é perfeita
From chips to chicks to strippin' a Lexus
De fichas para garotas para despir um Lexus
Naked without your gun, we takin' everything you brung
Nu sem sua arma, estamos pegando tudo que você trouxe
We cakin', you niggas is fakin', we gettin' it done
Estamos ganhando, vocês estão fingindo, estamos fazendo isso
Crime family, well-connected, Jay-Z
Família do crime, bem conectada, Jay-Z
And you, fake thugs is unplugged like MTV

Ahh, who wanna bet us that we don't touch lettuce?
Ahh, ¿quién quiere apostarnos que no tocamos la lechuga?
Stack cheddars forever, live treacherous, all the et ceteras
Apilamos quesos para siempre, vivimos peligrosamente, todos los etcéteras
To the death of us, me and my confidants, we shine
Hasta la muerte, yo y mis confidentes, brillamos
You feel the ambiance, y'all niggas just rhyme
Sientes el ambiente, ustedes solo riman
By the ounce, dough accumulates like snow
Por onza, la masa se acumula como nieve
We don't just shine, we illuminate the whole show, you feel me?
No solo brillamos, iluminamos todo el espectáculo, ¿me sientes?
Factions from the other side would love to kill me
Facciones del otro lado querrían matarme
Spill three quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat
Derramar tres cuartos de mi sangre en la calle, sin mencionar el calor
Fuck 'em, they hate a nigga lovin' his life
Que les jodan, odian a un negro que ama su vida
In all possible ways, know the Feds is buggin' my life
De todas las formas posibles, sé que los federales están vigilando mi vida
Hospital days, reflectin' when my man laid up
Días de hospital, reflexionando cuando mi hombre estaba postrado
On the uptown high block, he got his side sprayed up
En el bloque alto del uptown, le dispararon en el costado
I saw his life slippin', this is a minor setback
Vi su vida desvanecerse, esto es un pequeño contratiempo
Yo, still in all we livin', just dream about the get-back
Aún así, seguimos viviendo, solo soñamos con la venganza
That made him smile, though his eyes said "pray for me"
Eso le hizo sonreír, aunque sus ojos decían "ruega por mí"
I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully
Te haré uno mejor y mataré a estos negros fielmente
Murder is a tough thing to digest, it's a slow process
El asesinato es algo difícil de digerir, es un proceso lento
And I ain't got nothin' but time
Y no tengo nada más que tiempo
I had near brushes, not to mention
Tuve roces cercanos, sin mencionar
Three shots, close range, never touched me, divine intervention
Tres disparos, a corta distancia, nunca me tocaron, intervención divina
Can't stop I, from drinkin' Mai-Tai's, with Ty-Ty
No pueden detenerme, de beber Mai-Tai's, con Ty-Ty
Down in Nevada, ha ha, poppa, word life
En Nevada, ja ja, papá, palabra de vida
I dabbled in crazy weight without rap, I was crazy straight

But until then, I keep the trilliant cut diamonds shinin' brilliant

Factions from the other side would love to kill me
Des factions de l'autre côté aimeraient me tuer
Spill three quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat
Verser trois quarts de mon sang dans la rue, sans parler de la chaleur
Fuck 'em, they hate a nigga lovin' his life
Qu'ils aillent se faire foutre, ils détestent un nigga qui aime sa vie
In all possible ways, know the Feds is buggin' my life
De toutes les manières possibles, je sais que les Feds espionnent ma vie
Hospital days, reflectin' when my man laid up

On the uptown high block, he got his side sprayed up
Sur le bloc haut de la ville, il s'est fait tirer dessus
I saw his life slippin', this is a minor setback
J'ai vu sa vie s'échapper, c'est un petit revers
Yo, still in all we livin', just dream about the get-back

I had near brushes, not to mention
J'ai eu des frôlements, sans parler
Three shots, close range, never touched me, divine intervention
Trois coups de feu, à bout portant, ne m'ont jamais touché, intervention divine
Can't stop I, from drinkin' Mai-Tai's, with Ty-Ty
Je ne peux pas arrêter de boire des Mai-Tai, avec Ty-Ty

Le candidat présidentiel mort
With the sprinkles and the Presidential, ice that'll offend you
Avec les paillettes et le Présidentiel, la glace qui t'offensera

Mais jusqu'à ce moment, je garde les diamants trilliants brillants
