Big K.R.I.T. - King, Pt. 3 Lyrics






This is for them soul believers, eager to be achievers
And all those old folk on their porch that used to oversee us
It takes a village to stop the pillage of serpent seekers
Under protection from weapons I pray that God can keep us
We run away from things that used to reach us
Rather the Bible than a rifle, what can balling teach us?
Crossover, the pennies and loafers now we have to spend
Sitting on sofas, barely sober waiting on the end
Be a rapper or a Christian, KRIT
Cause in this game, there's no room for that religion shit
Acrobatic flip my temper cause I remember
It's either Heaven or Hell, and that shit simple
Fall asleep in pews the choir "Ooohs" would sooth
The battered hearts of many that life could often abuse
Who are you to mock my healing? What's a message without feeling
I don't care if you paid for mine, I'm just hoping that you listen
I might if we don't talk about your top 5
Let's just pretend all this shit ride
Turn a long road to a short drive
Overflow with ambitions, so why we wasting time?
Your inner glow ain't for dimming, I swear you're wasting shine
My time ain't for spilling, so don't be wasting mine
Don't be wasting mine
Or I can't

Like I left you at the podium
Niggas screaming out, "Family," but I ain't knowing them
Mad, cause the false love they give me, I ain't showing them
I paid my dues, no I ain't owing them
What's a rock to a mountain, so why you throwing them?
Holding a, grudge nigga
When I was on 3-hunna gave a fuck about where you was, nigga
Can't you see I'm stuck in my ways? I never budge, nigga
Where you at be content with self
Jealousy inevitably ain't good for your health
Although I feel some type of way, I hope you acquire wealth
And never know what it's like to have your own blood wish your own death
I'll forget the situation, miscommunication
Could've been solved, just as simple as a nigga waiting
As a nigga waiting
But we can't

In the same mind frame that got us here
Show your cards and you're a fraud: David Copperfield
Drop a song with no heart, that shit ain't hot for real
I told my niggas, "I might quit," they're like, "KRIT, you're not for real"
Then I repeated what I said, bur even more sincere
Face hot look where we stopped, I cannot go from here
Lord, how can I flow from here?
I dropped over 200 songs, what can I show from here?
And I'll stop with all the frustration
I respect their opinion, but I still think they're hating
Waiting on the day that K.R.I.T Wuz Here, ain't some shit I'm chasing
Downplaying my album, that shit was far from basic
Murder rappers, buried them on more than one occasion
And hold a candlelight vigil for the beats I'm making
Write about my life and what's right 'til my hands is aching
Only for a nigga to look at me like, "KRIT, who the fuck you saving?"

  15. J.... A....

    Krit if you ever visit this video , I'm waiting bro. You got alot of fans dawg . Even a mixtape sum raw shit

  16. a.... m....

    Krit is top 5 dead or alive greatest MC of the 2010s no debate. If you look at hometown hero and the Friday night lights skit intro, the metaphor and meaning to the intro and song itself is basically saying I'm booby miles people like me aren't suppose to come from where I'm from (Mississippi) in this game look at my life. That was in 2010 the single got released in 09 but people wanna talk about KDot being a creative genius on some level he is great but Krit is truly a King remembered in time.

  17. W.... W....

    This used to be my Lacrosse warm-up song. I would just repeat this song and get in my mind. It's not even like it's hype or anything, but something clicked, man.

  24. K.... J....

    We run away from things that used to reach us
    Rather the Bible than a rifle, what can balling teach us?
    Crossover, the pennies and loafers now we have to spend
    Sitting on sofas, barely sober waiting on the end

    Bruh, This holds so much weight with me. This is my favorite K.R.I.T song. Just wow.

  25. J.... G....

    Am I The Only One Who Gets Chills When He Say "Although I Feel Some Type Of Way I Hope You Acquire Wealth & Never Know What Its Like To Have Your Own Fam Wish Your Death"

    J.... G....

    C.... ....

    Don't gotta be religious to talk to God.

    C.... ....

    @Brandon Rodriguez I don't mean I am literally thanking god though lol. I am thankful it exists

  43. k.... ....

    Jay, why didn't you sign Krit??? America needs his words...

    k.... ....

    Well krit is on def jam and I think Jays the president.

    k.... ....

    koreyp360 Jay couldn't touch outkast or nas he was just another Rick Ross that people were blinded by the cat can't tell a good story

    k.... ....

    Because Krit got good common sense

    k.... ....

    Nas was tight, Kent was tight, but it's just something about how smooth cole did the beat

  44. J.... J....

    #ItsWhateverCuz

  45. k.... k....

    kirt is the country version of cole and cole is the city version of kirt listen to there muisc

    k.... k....

    this song is pretty crazy cuz nas j cole and krit all picked the same beat and a bunch of shit got confusing cuz they all thought it was exclusive to them but the had nas have the original version and had krit and cole a remix, gotta say tho my fav is krit, then nas, then cole but honestly i think cole could of done way better on it hes a good rapper i fuck wit him but his version was shitty

    k.... k....

    @Nicolai Matheson Cole's version is actually the original. His was made way back in 09 while NO I.D. was still literally making the beat. This is was waaay before Friday Night Lights even dropped. He just released it years later.

    k.... k....

    my top two in this generation right there

    k.... k....

    king kong it's *KRIT

    k.... k....

    MUCH better than cole my guy

  49. a.... w....

    Don't quit

  50. a.... w....

    When I hear this nigga flow it has meaning and it gives me hope

  51. k.... ....

    If KRIT isn't in you're top five, then look at what you listen too... one of the under rated that need a multi million dollar deal.. if only I had millions to express times and thoughts that need to be known in this world at times like these... lets keep good music alive..
