《American Rapstar》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:16] Were their alltime high

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

[00:00:20] The flashier the better

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:29] Out your bank account

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:41] Of an American rapstar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:56] Searching for a freak

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

[00:00:59] Wanna buy a bottle

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

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

[00:01:03] And a masterplan

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

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

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

[00:01:11] Never stand a chance

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:32] Out your bank account

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:44] Of an American rapstar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:03] And understand the difference

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

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

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

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

[00:02:11] Momma say she worried

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:36] Out your bank account

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

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

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

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

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

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