Presidents to represent me

[Verse 1: Ponce]

Yo, a lot of niggas tryna do what I did, from the booth to the crib
I'm getting paid and I ain't doin no gigs
Now yaw may think ya boy is develish
Illumanated but not illuminati, im cool enough to freeze the devils pit
And so I grind, cuz I know this is my time
You niggas coming up short like a dollar ninety nine
So you should sit and ask yourself, what can you do to evolve
Instead your chilling with you crew in the hall
Looking at bad chicks, wit fat lips, covered up with chapstick
And they dont like no nigga dick cuz they come from their dads dick
Thinking all niggas is trouble like mike tyson
As if we only cause destruction like lighting
But its ok tho, ima blow like a volcanoe
All the stereotypes of our lives arnt even painful
See they just make it harder to succeed
But see im on my college shit getting my first degreee
Now its Ponce D, I use to be a cub but now im simba
Matter fact I am m=Mufasa similar to the devils father
They say lifes a gamble, so I ask em where the fuck the dice at
Where nigga beat their girls, but they dont leave because they like that
Besides that, brothers killin brothers over colors
Im like what the hell is going on yaw from the same mother
But thats just a question that I ask myself
Parrallel to those who ask, can I blast myself?

[Verse 2: Ponce]

I've known a lot of cats with dreams
But only those who battle the shadows and other things are the ones who get to the green
But most cats get stuck in the hood, and buy a gun
Cuz in the long run, you dont wanna be a punk in the hood
But me, I chose a different status, I disaappeared like magic
I found my way to the white world where I would practice
How to present myself and how to make em like me
They ain't even gotta like me,as long as they can hear me
I give em an image they can think on
They would never guess I was expelled from highschool before I leaned on
But now im seeing clearly, I mean I live to see a black president
Yet the world we live in still prejudice
So, I turn my negative to positves and only speak derogative
When objectives are wishing hate upon me
Boy, im from the land of hills brother state of land of still
Where people die everyday over a dollar bill
See money's the route of evil, and you can't purchase happiness
But you can make purchases that will bring you happiness
So I spend my cash on neccesites, getting rid of luxeries
Hoping the holy lord gon hold trust is me
Cuz as a human I can only do so much
My state on my back got me arched like a toe touch
And so I carry on like my cities axis
I gotta keep us balanced from the burbs to thr backstrip
