Big K.R.I.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't shit changed cuz' I'm still getting mine
Ain't no love for a hater tryna fly me, tryna play me
Muthafuckas never stop my shine
Yeah, they see me, but they still watching
I got shining on re-run (on re-run)
I got shining on re-run
Yeah, they see me, but they still watching
I got shining on re-run
I was one deep creep in it
Caddy on high, my paint never dry
Forgi I don't know rim and the tires
Squeaking where niggas will never get by
Flipping the script on these hoes
Shine up the grill in these glows
Paper dip, but never show
'Til the fucking lot was super throwed
Players out chea' on game
Pimp pimping so cold on the hoes and its two below
That we can put out the flame
Of the blue hand of the roof on the coup all I got is bands man
Who got the change?
Who got the number to the nearly burned it down
The club can chirp before the clip hit the pole and do a split
'Cause we bought wings
We ain't talking about flight, talking lemon pepper vodka with ice
Spit more on J than steak and the shrimp than mo' gon make in they in life
We ain't tripped up, never hiccup from the drink
Pick up where I left off on the dank
Flex out, never stressed out over chains
Stretched out, get pressed out on the grain
You hear that dere', I make these muthafuckas wanna feel that dere'
When the wheel too big, and the road ain't shit
Make it hard to steer that dere', but it
Big bank, big bank, big bank, big bank, big bank
One time, I wake up
Cake up, cake up, cake up, then press rewind
I got big bank casing on a muthafucka
Ain't shit changed cuz' I'm still getting mine
Ain't no love for a hater tryna fly me, tryna play me
Muthafuckas never stop my shine
Yeah, they see me, but they still watching
I got shining on re-run (on re-run)
I got shining on re-run
Yeah, they see me, but they still watching
I got shining on re-run (on re-run)
I got shining on re-run
Big bank, currency, revenue
Getting to it all a nigga ever knew
When all I ever cared about is how to get it no doubt
Big problems ain't apart of my decimals
Make sure it's multiplying is all I'm ever I worried about
If slow money beat no money, what the fuck you in a hurry bout'?
Nigga, I'm saying
Stay getting to that broke shit ain't in my plan
Sleep with the dead, I'ma grind every day that I can
Gots seven kids, and I gotta make sure all of them they fed
By any means
Can't be no excuses, my children can't eat no excuses
My daughter can't sleep in excuses
My son needs to be with paper like keep your excuses
If you ain't producing, you're useless, that's why I'm out here getting to it
Fresh out the booth, I go straight to the stage
Then, I go straight to get paid
Hunnid' I earned, fifty I saved
My bitch don't be cleaning up, I need a maid
She don't be cooking, so I need a chef
You ain't giving me nuthin', I get it myself
I'm doing my thing, and I did it to death
Stacking them chips, getting that dough
Millions, need me a couple hundo
Big mansion with a double front do'
Pretty young thang in a new condo
Pray to God, stay rich, stay humble
I got big bank casing on a muthafucka
Ain't shit changed cuz' I'm still getting mine
Ain't no love for a hater tryna fly me, tryna play me
Muthafuckas never stop my shine
Yeah, they see me, but they still watching
I got shining on re-run (on re-run)
I got shining on re-run
Yeah, they see me, but they still watching
I got shining on re-run (on re-run)
I got shining on re-run

I was driving alone in my car
Caddy on high, my paint never dry
My Cadillac was lifted and the paint job was fresh
Forgi I don't know rim and the tires

I control the situation and call the shots
Shine up the grill in these glows
Polishing the grill and lights on my car
Paper dip, but never show

Until the parking lot was packed with people and attention was on me
Players out chea' on game
I'm aware of what's going on and I have everything under control
Pimp pimping so cold on the hoes and its two below
I'm good with the ladies, even in the coldest weather
Of the blue hand of the roof on the coup all I got is bands man

The club can chirp before the clip hit the pole and do a split
I caused chaos before I even walked in the club and caused damage
'Cause we bought wings
We didn't come to the club to party, we just bought wings
We ain't talking about flight, talking lemon pepper vodka with ice
We're drinking and eating wings, not discussing travel
Spit more on J than steak and the shrimp than mo' gon make in they in life
We're spending more money on drinks and food than some people make in a week

I have a presence and charisma that makes people drawn to me
When the wheel too big, and the road ain't shit

Make it hard to steer that dere', but it
It's difficult to drive this type of car, but I make it work
Big bank, big bank, big bank, big bank, big bank
I have a lot of money, repeated for emphasis

Getting to it all a nigga ever knew
I've been focused on making money my entire life
When all I ever cared about is how to get it no doubt

My financial situation is secure, I don't have any major issues
Make sure it's multiplying is all I'm ever I worried about
I'm focused on growing my wealth and making smart investments
If slow money beat no money, what the fuck you in a hurry bout'?
Slowly making money is better than not making any at all, why are you in a rush?
Nigga, I'm saying
I'm making a point with my statement
Stay getting to that broke shit ain't in my plan
I will never be broke, I'm always making money
Sleep with the dead, I'ma grind every day that I can
I won't rest until I'm dead, I'll always be working and making money
Gots seven kids, and I gotta make sure all of them they fed
I have seven children and it's my responsibility to provide for all of them
By any means
I'll do whatever it takes to make sure my kids are taken care of
Can't be no excuses, my children can't eat no excuses
I can't make excuses for not making enough money, my kids need to be fed
My daughter can't sleep in excuses
I need to provide for my family, there's no room for excuses
My son needs to be with paper like keep your excuses
My son needs to be successful and make money, there's no room for excuses
If you ain't producing, you're useless, that's why I'm out here getting to it
If you're not making money or being productive, you're worthless. That's why I work hard and make money
Fresh out the booth, I go straight to the stage
I go straight from recording music to performing on stage
Then, I go straight to get paid
After the performance, I collect my money
Hunnid' I earned, fifty I saved
I earned $100, but I saved $50
My bitch don't be cleaning up, I need a maid
My girlfriend or female companion doesn't clean up, so I need a maid
She don't be cooking, so I need a chef
My girlfriend or female companion doesn't cook, so I need a chef
You ain't giving me nuthin', I get it myself
You're not giving me anything, so I'm making my own money and taking care of myself

Millions, need me a couple hundo
I have millions of dollars, but I still need a couple hundred more
Big mansion with a double front do'
I have a large mansion with two front doors
Pretty young thang in a new condo
I have a beautiful woman in a new condominium
Pray to God, stay rich, stay humble
I'm grateful for my success and want to maintain that while also staying humble
Big bank
I have a lot of money
