Mixed Messages
Big K.R.I.T. Lyrics

Yeah, I'm sorry
Apologizing for the mixed messages in my songs

I got a whole lotta, mixed messages, in my songs
My songs contain a multitude of conflicting messages

Am I wrong to feel this way?
Questioning whether my contradictory feelings are justified

Revolutionary, although I'm free
Having rebellious ideals despite my personal freedom

I got me a lover, but I still wanna cheat
Being in a committed relationship but desiring infidelity

I wanna be saved, but it's fuck the police
Seeking salvation but harboring anger towards law enforcement

Don't wanna be here, but I'm too scared to leave
Feeling trapped and fearful of change

Said I'm too scared to leave, I got a whole lotta
Reiterating my fear of leaving

Uh, I love her and I hate her at the same time
Experiencing conflicting emotions towards someone

I'm wack and I'm dope in the same rhyme
Recognizing both my weaknesses and strengths

I'm dull but I'm gloss in the same shine
Having both mundane and glamorous qualities

It's confusing on a sunny day
Feeling confused even in seemingly positive situations

I never really liked all the fake shit
Disliking inauthenticity

But I'm attracted to the fake ass and fake tits
Paradoxically drawn to artificial physical features

That's why I made a song like original
Creating a song to remind myself of authenticity

To remind me of what fake is
Using music to reinforce the concept of deception

I wanna be rich but I'm giving back
Desiring wealth but also engaging in charitable acts

I love her like none other but don't get attached
Feeling intense love but avoiding emotional attachment

Screamin' peace over beats but I grab a strap
Advocating for peace yet resorting to violence

I help you make a meal but I got a cap
Assisting others while having limitations

It's still fuck you, but I'll give you dap
Expressing disdain but still showing respect

I really wanna sing but I better rap
Preferring to rap instead of singing

God on my line after all, but I ain't pick up when he called
Ignoring calls from God

Matter of fact, I ain't pick up at all, cause my bills paid now
Choosing not to answer any calls, as financial obligations are fulfilled

Said my grace now, my light is still on, so why would I pray now?
Feeling spiritually fulfilled without the need for prayer

Home is the best place for me, so why would I stay now?
Preferring to remain at home instead of going out

Sick and tired of being sick and tired, but I never could lay down
Exhausted yet unable to rest

I only got a gun to protect myself
Possessing a firearm for self-defense

The AK make a nigga shake down
The presence of a powerful weapon induces fear

I love social network for music
Appreciating the impact of social media on the music industry

But the negativity'll make you break down like damn
Acknowledging that negative aspects of social media can be overwhelming

Too scared to leave, I got a whole lotta
Expressing fear and uncertainty about leaving

Too scared to leave, I got a whole lotta mixed messages
Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting thoughts and emotions

Too scared to leave, I'm too scared to leave
Admitting to being too afraid to take action

Too scared to leave, I'm too scared to leave
Reiterating my fear of leaving
