Artist: Big Syke f/ 2Pac, Outlawz Album: Where I've Been Mixtape Song: Letter to the President (Remix) Typed by: westbingmanson@gmail.com [Verse 1: 2Pac] Why should I lie, when I can dramatize? Niggaz fell victim to my lyrics, now traumatized Simply by spittin I've been blessed given riches, enemies suspicious cause I'm seldom in the company of bitches Plus the concepts I depict, so visual, that you can kiss each and every trick or bitch, inside the shit I kick My heaviest verse'll move a mountain Casualties in mass amounts, brothers keep countin Fuck the friendships, I ride alone Destination Death Row, finally found a home Plus all my homies wanna die, call it euthanasia Dear Lord, look how sick this ghetto made us, sincerely yours I'm a thug, the product of a broken home Everybody's doped up, nigga what you smokin on? Figure if we high they can train us but then America fucked up and blamed up I guess it's cause we black that we targets My only fear is God, I spit that hard shit In case you don't know, I let my pump go Get ride for Mutulu like I ride for Geronimo Down to die, for everything I represent Meant every word, in my letter to the President [Chorus: 2Pac] Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do These niggaz actin up in the hood, send mo' troops Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do These niggaz actin up in the hood, send mo' troops [Verse 2: EDI] Oh youse a baller in the White House, I hope you comfortable Cause yo I spend my nights out, with the lights out Under the safety of darkness, amongst the crazed and the heartless And young soul bros And a Mr. cobra contest [Verse 3: Kastro] With all these problems my world Spendin' this drama on earl My President never seen senate with pleasure like Whatever momma tell me She hit it No, not the lottery shit Meanin' she do What I ain't do Break her off before I did slip [Verse 4: EDI] Deep into the mind Of a loner My foes say fuck him, he's a goner but it ain't no shorts Up on these corners on a mission Listen let's ease my guard With precision personally my decision When I realize this ain't livin' [Verse 5: Kastro] How you really ain't no how this ghetto life go For me and all my homies, when our enemies bone You got the C.I.A. and we got our A.K.

Somewhere in the middle of my mind is a nigga on the tightrope, screamin let him die Can't lie I'm a thug, drownin in my own blood Lookin for the reason that my momma's strung out on drugs Down to die, for everything I represent Meant every word, in my letter to the President [Verse 8: Big Syke] Blacks is broke, think it's a joke that we livin low? Y'all sniffin blow and postin what they hittin fo'?
