BIG K.R.I.T. - Down & Out lyrics

rate me

<i>[Intro:]</i>

Good Lord we back one mo' 'gin

This for the people, this for the have-nots...

I know what you going through

I know what you dealing with on the daily, you feel me?

Ain't nothing but sunshine from here...

Let's get high

<i>[Hook:]</i>

Sippin' on this drank don't ease my pain

Lord, I wish it would

Smoking on this weed don't make me sane

But it should

In a world that's down and out

In a world that's down and out

<i>[Verse 1:]</i>

I got my back against the wall

Once again, I've been cornered

Smoke that roach from my ash tray from the other day and down this last Corona that I scrape for

Gotta make more, gotta get mine

Cause when I get time, I'm a get shine and clear my runway

And wait til I get signed, stretch my wings and fly

Do what I gotta do to get by

See the world through my third eye

Would answer the things I worry 'bout

At the end of days, bills to pay

If it's a white man's world, am I still a slave

To the minimum wage?

Keep words minimal, subliminal, y'all won't make it anyway

Out the traps they set follow them tracks they left to the White House

And tell Oprah Winfrey I don't need no chicken

Bitch is gonna turn my lights out

On a daily basis, piece of American Pie

They cut me, I can barely taste it

But I know it ain't 'bout shit cause my grandma ain't make it

<i>[Hook]</i>

<i>[Verse 2:]</i>

Can't take that for granted though

I'm still searching for antidotes

Niggas outchea sick from the money they spent

Trying to get more cars and clothes and hoes

That really know they poles, is that on earth winning y'all?

Is every woman in a sundress, really down for the cause?

I can't be sure, nowadays everybody 'bout dough

About to play: A queen and be? A gold digger? I can't even say

But either way I strap up, wrap up

Cause I don't want no capsules after

A rock-a-bye that I deny cause she stay on heads like tassels

And that's not to say ain't no queens around my way

I seen one the other day, but she had bruises on her face

And cried to me that men ain't shit and she fed up

They only want her with her legs up

Even though her nose swollen and eye was closed

I told her keep her head up

<i>[Hook]</i>
