American Rapstar - Big K.R.I.T.[00:00:00]

An A&R once told me[00:00:00]

"you can determine the worth[00:00:01]

Of a song within 15 seconds of it playing"[00:00:02]

With complete n utter lack of the fact[00:00:04]

That it takes takes all 3 minutes[00:00:06]

And 40seconds of a song[00:00:07]

To comprehend what I'm sayin'[00:00:08]

It ain't a single if it don't fly[00:00:10]

It ain't a hit if it don't ride[00:00:12]

Now he couldn't tell me the components[00:00:13]

Of a smash but the ringtones[00:00:14]

Were their alltime high[00:00:16]

And a rappers only as big as his chain,[00:00:18]

The flashier the better[00:00:20]

They say money make the World go round[00:00:20]

You never lost til you lose your crown[00:00:23]

And they don't love you[00:00:25]

Till you're on the ground[00:00:26]

Or when you're maxing[00:00:28]

Out your bank account[00:00:29]

Yeah, you do it all just to live the life[00:00:31]

Even if it means you don't live it right[00:00:33]

And even if it means[00:00:36]

You don't survive the night[00:00:37]

But if even if you do[00:00:38]

You won't survive the hype[00:00:39]

Of an American rapstar[00:00:41]

Push it to the limit just to get up high[00:00:42]

With a wood grain kitted?[00:00:44]

Ride around town like I never lived in it[00:00:46]

Gun in my dash, pray I never kill with it[00:00:48]

I'm that real with it[00:00:51]

Got my eyes on the prize[00:00:52]

Bills still due, muthaf-ck 9-5[00:00:54]

Searching for a freak[00:00:56]

That wanna f-ck once or twice[00:00:57]

Wanna buy a bottle[00:00:59]

But I aint paid my ties[00:01:00]

This aint no lie, I got a vision[00:01:02]

And a masterplan[00:01:03]

To hit the block and blow up like a Taliban[00:01:05]

I make run the plane never have to land[00:01:07]

I make it where them lames[00:01:10]

Never stand a chance[00:01:11]

Sh*t, you'll never know[00:01:13]

What the time'll tell[00:01:13]

And see the star or find the scale?[00:01:16]

We be buying or you tryna sell[00:01:18]

You either fall or you grind the rails[00:01:21]

They say money make the World go round[00:01:24]

You never lost til you lose your crown[00:01:26]

And they don't love you[00:01:29]

Till you're on the ground[00:01:30]

Or when you're maxing[00:01:31]

Out your bank account[00:01:32]

Yeah, you do it all just to live the life[00:01:33]

Even if it means you don't live it right[00:01:37]

And even if it means[00:01:39]

You don't survive the night[00:01:40]

But if even if you do[00:01:42]

You won't survive the hype[00:01:43]

Of an American rapstar[00:01:44]

So watch me get it how I live[00:01:45]

Waiting on my momma,[00:01:46]

Screaming f-ck how they feel[00:01:47]

Dodging jail cells and them pigs down in gal[00:01:49]

They shot Oscar Grant swear[00:01:52]

It gave a n-gga chills[00:01:53]

Lets keep it real,[00:01:54]

If you ain't looking keep your eyes closed[00:01:55]

Will I pay what I owe, only God knows[00:01:57]

I ain't for show, give me strength[00:02:00]

Just to change what I can't[00:02:01]

And understand the difference[00:02:03]

Between a n-gga and the King that I am[00:02:04]

Gotta keep ya finger on the trigger[00:02:07]

Pac died, Biggie died,[00:02:09]

They ain't found a killer[00:02:10]

Momma say she worried[00:02:11]

'Cause I rap about the Government[00:02:12]

And how the Church caked other people[00:02:14]

Out there struggling (its real though)[00:02:16]

I just call it how it is foe[00:02:18]

I'm breathing for a reason,[00:02:20]

What you here for?[00:02:21]

They got us with the villains who a chill for?[00:02:22]

Cause they murdered all the heroes[00:02:25]

They say money make the World go round[00:02:27]

You never lost til you lose your crown[00:02:30]

And they don't love you[00:02:32]

Till you're on the ground[00:02:33]

Or when you're maxing[00:02:35]

Out your bank account[00:02:36]

Yeah, you do it all just to live the life[00:02:37]

Even if it means you don't live it right[00:02:40]

And even if it means[00:02:42]

You don't survive the night[00:02:43]

But if even if you do[00:02:45]

You won't survive the hype[00:02:46]
