Big K.R.I.T. - Small As Giant Lyrics






[Intro: Big K.R.I.T.]
See, I was made in my father's image and they belittle my deeds
Their lustful convictions pledge allegiance to the almighty power and greed
See, seeds born withered, parents still children, adolescent in their ways
Some preachers false prophets, educated pigeon droppers using our sins to get paid
Slaves, give them freedom, but give them dope
Take away their leaders cause that gives them hope
Sell them dreams of changing things like they were never kings and queens befo'
As small as a giant

[Chorus]
As small as a giant, I'm still riding
Hand on my sword, Good Lord I need time
Watch for the sun-eaters blocking our shine
Enlighten my kind, reason for rhyme
I'ma find Zion, free my soul
Repent for all the things I done till my eyes close
When the boat man come I'm paying my toll
Outside the gates of Heaven, pray to God I'm chose
As small as a giant

[Big K.R.I.T.]
The beginning's kinda dark, not too soft, fairly hard
Drenched with love from my mother, connected to her struggle
till she cut me loose, now what shall I do?
It was all so easy, look at how they treat me ever since she pushed me through
Now put me back in, stop these contractions
Water breaking, aw damn, I know it's bout to happen
Failed events, no picket fence, a dream deterred
Bending liquor, chilling with my niggas, swishers and herb
Eviction notices, hopelessness thrown on my shoulders
God won't give you more than you can handle, carry these boulders
Give it all I got until I get older
Couple of medals on my sleeve cause life made me a soldier
Reminisce on how it was way back when
when some thangs were better off way back then
As small as a giant, a promise so divided
Probably ain't surprised in so long since we sung songs over large campfires
Cosbi was cool, but television is a lie
Some reason I relate to Survivor
Fresh Prince with no Uncle Phil
The Carlton that I knew never stayed where we lived, couldn't play with those kids
While they was reading books, we was playing cops and crooks
While they was writing essays, I was writing hooks momma
I'll be that nigga on TV
cause people like Bow Wow and Soulja Boy make it look easy
No pun intended, hoping they get offended
I'm throwing up if these niggas spitting
Didn't write it, but recite it like puppets on strings
Belittled as a peasant, but my bloodline is of kings
Knight in shining armor for this rap shit, I slash quick
towards a man's beard, leaving gashes on these industry bastards
They can't see what is real, don't know how I feel
They weren't raised where I live, in Mississippi

[Chorus]

[Big K.R.I.T.]
Rise and shine, no time for sleep, thinking bout eating
Leaving this place, long gone
I get no service on this earth, I need to phone home
Did too much dirt to talk to God, nowadays I get the dial tone
Try again tomorrow, my heart filled with sorrow
My family broke too, so why bother trying to borrow?
No car, no house, drug dealing, feeling like it might be
my only option to get meals, what else could I do?
Put yourself in my shoes
If you had no whip, you'd take some shortcuts too
There ain't no time to be wasted, the world is going under
Nowadays can't tell fall from spring and winter from summer
I wonder if this was meant to be
Maybe all the bullshit was meant for me, it takes a lot of energy
Break these chains, erase these thangs society put up on our brain
How could I explain it? We ain't free yet
Obama cool, but he ain't sending me no free checks
They killing all my niggas, Lord forbid I'll be next
Not now, got too many sorrows to say and kisses to give
They don't feel how I feel, they weren't raised where I live, in Mississippi

[Chorus]

    Man I've listened to this song for 6 years straight and it's still my favorite song ever. Fr

  26. t.... ....

    Damn shame...this is one of the most subliminal sub conscious hip hop song ever created and this dude did this in young age...it makes no sense then song is not mentioned as one of the greatest hip hop songs ever created...smh Damn shame Damn shame Damn shame

    t.... ....

    damn chill Krit is a huge artist and this video has over a half a million views, I think plenty people appreciate the song. It doesn't have to be the "greatest hip hop song ever created" to still touch millions you devalue it when you call it a "shame" as if there is no one who appreciates his music.

    C.... ....

    Check out dizzy wright and phora

    C.... ....

    The game is barely breathing if it's even alive at all

  68. T.... D....

    pac laid the way for rappers like krit 

    T.... D....

    Facts bro

    T.... D....

    Onterrio Ducre Krit was actually influenced by UGK

    T.... D....

    Screwed Up Pimp more than just UGK... he also said Outkast, Scarface, 8Ball and MJG, Pac and Nas

    T.... D....

    Yup ugk and outkast aquemini levels

  69. K.... S....

    His music should be the direction rap should be going, instead hot beats n hooks.

  70. D.... D....

    I think some of the reason that it's so easy to recognize pacs and big legacy is the simple fact that they didn't have as many other bullshit artist during there time so there movements were obvious....now you have 2 chainz ,soulja boy ect. getting all the radio play because of dummied downed lyrics so people have really forgoten the true meaning of good hip hop,K.R.I.T's movement is highly slept on...he's given out 260 tracks for free and every one is solid and full of content so I think his movement to bring the south back can easily be talked about in the same discussion with tupac;BIG,UGK,Outkast ect. ....that's just my opinion

    D.... D....

    +Donnie Dean preach

    D.... D....

    Donnie Dean I swear he's a reincarnated version of Tupac biggie and Pimp

    D.... D....

    @Jack Honsen ikr. They do got a song together "pimps"

    D.... D....

    And KRIT has the best verse on pimps.

  71. I.... F....

    Why do people have such a hard time realizing that the more time that goes on the better rappers get? Yes, some will eclipse the greats. Thing is, it doesn't matter who is better or worse; it's music if you don't love it turn down! The reason why no one can fuck with Pac or Biggie or others like them is because of their legacy, not the lyrics. Much Love from Canada K.R.I.T.! And Rest in paradise to all our fallen influences, we miss ya'll... 

    I.... F....

    Well K.R.I.T. could leave a bigger legacy man; who knows right? He's still livin' but Pac's case in particular; he was far more than just a rapper and the things he was doing outside of rap were changing lives. Personally, i think that's one of the reasons he was killed but anyway the fact is that Pac was a rebel, and he was truly inspiring. He himself was becoming a much better human being than rapper. Who know what light he may have shed on us in the future? P.S. No need to cast negative judgement :P

  72. C.... E....

    niiiiice!!!.

  73. A.... w....

    I feel like krit can't be touched. Pac had good delivery but never ever had music to touch ya soul like this. I mean he had some deep tracks. But no rapper before or now fuckin with krit. Philosophical rap for ya ass right here

    A.... w....

    KRIT My Favorite Rapper Now Pac My Favorite Rapper of all time don't disrespect a great bro

    A.... w....

    Anthony whitaker I'm just seeing this but yet one of the realest statements ever made

    G.... T....

    @drmoonlord one of em..2pacs kdot and jcole consciousness rap songs also but.this is better than them..xcept pacs....👊✊

  77. D.... L....

    Need that beat thoooo.

  78. C.... B....

    His lyrical content is awesome. He is the realm of 2Pac, Guru, Scarface and Ice Cube.

    C.... B....

    You were 💯 until you said ice cube and all creditable thought went out the window and you lost everyone.

  79. J.... J....

  87. F.... M....

    That Mississippi soul does a body good.

  88. R.... S....

    i respect yo opinion but cumon now tha r legends and KRIT gone be a legend as well frel he too real

  89. B.... ....

    Biggie...yea, Pac....i don't know. Pac was deep and before his time. So it's very hard to say. I have to say i'm really loving K.R.I.T.

  90. M.... C....

    Hahaha I put like a shit load of emojis and that's the only one that was posted

  91. j.... ....

    That's my problem with most New York rappers and lyrical rappers on the whole. They get so wrapped up in having a deep message, and using big words and verbiage, that they forget about the beat. I always appreciate Krit for having that good balance.

  92. F.... M....

    its wild how dude can let a message with so much substance come across without sacrificing flow. talented ass dude for sure

  93. S.... ....

    Man, krit never dissapoints. This one goes all the way to the soul.

  94. C.... ....

    He put it down with this track

  95. Q.... ....

    wattup doe? you remind me of waka...

  96. Q.... ....
