Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Now hol' up, I just work it out
Double it down, I work it around, I'm makin' it happen
I been snappin' (uh), I been snappin' (uh)
What you doin'? What you doin'? That ain't rappin' (that right)
That's how I cap it (I feel)
Luxury tax my flow
How I get it? You ain't even know
He ain't made it, you ain't make it, nigga
I been flexin', I been reppin'
I been doin' what I need to do and two steppin'
Mississippi
Daddy worked up on a train
Momma always had brains, she a teacher now
You knowin' how we get down
So stop with all them bullshit moves about where I come from, nigga
I'm just sayin', I ain't trippin' on your roll, but
Let's be real, you ain't ever been around here before, and
You ain't ever seen the stars and the moon glow
Never heard your Granny yell out, "Boy stop slammin' them doors," hey
Mid-Atlantic, Aunty May
Think about 'em all the time
Show the young boy how to be a grown man
From a grown man to a king so I could shine (shine)
Light brights and bright lights and let your little lights shine
Believe that there
When you came up where I come from, you gotta do what you gotta do
To achieve that there
Them dreams and all that (all that)
That bling and all that (all that)
Them screens and all that (all that)
And them old schools, when they fall down, and that wood grain, too
And that diamond in the back
Man, you seen that shit?
Man, I got it just like that, hol' up
I remember, I remember not knowin' where I came from
Until I realize where I come from
Proud parents, black parents, my parents
They standin' on the same steps that they supposed to
In the same place that they supposed to
And I'ma keep raisin' 'em higher and higher
And the biggest house I can find, I'ma buy it and buy
I'ma keep tryin' and tryin' to make 'em proud and all
That 2 Chainz song was right
Most things ain't never ever ever happen overnight
But when you tryin' fly a kite and you gotta make that flight
And you tryna make shit right
You do what you need to do
You get it done, you get it done
You're the only one, that can make it happen
So you had to make it and you had to run that marathon
High hurdles, jumpin', 40 yard dashin'
Watchin' it happen, makin' it happen
We should watch it sometime, them haters
But you get greater later (Shine)
My later was even now
All my dreams are still profound
And I still get down, I get down, I get down
And you hear the sound? Move
Baby, I'm so southern I sometimes scare ignorant people's perception of independence
Mississippi
Bitch, I'm from Mississippi
Maybe I'm so southern I sometimes scare ignorant people's perception of independence
I'm from Mississippi
Bitch, I'm from Mississippi, hol' up
Maybe I'm so southern I sometimes scare ignorant people's perception of independence
I'm from Mississippi, bitch
I'm from Mississippi, get wit' it
Get wit' it
'Cause we get busy
'Cause we get busy
Get wit' it, get wit' it
Bitch, 'cause we get busy
'Cause we get busy
Learn that
Mississippi
Shine
If you needed further proof of a lyrical massacre
It was undeniable
I told you it'd be worth the wait, that's why I waited so long
Um, I have never heard such a display of a magnificence in one record! It was amazing
It was none other than the Biggest of K.R.I.T., mm, from the flatlands of Mississippi
Every minute, worth waiting for
You could feel the spirits of the older blacks (no, which, oh my)
Resonating through the music, it was magnificent
He, it was magical
Probably some of the best things my ears have ever consumed
Instruments never heard before in such a manner
Oh my God, who was the fellow on the trumpet? Or was that a clarinet, or a saxophone?
Who knows (who knows), it sounded glorious
It was a magnificent display of musical talent
The way the bant-dent-dent, I can do it, it was, amazing
Oh my God, oh, oh my, I just realized, now we must wait again
Lord (oh my God), you are a madman
The Biggest of K.R.I.T.s, and now the wait begins
KRIT!

Maybe I come up with some, some of that shit, though
I may have created some of the great rap lyrics
Now hol' up, I just work it out
Hold on, I'm still perfecting my style
Double it down, I work it around, I'm makin' it happen
I'm doubling down on my efforts and making my music happen
I been snappin' (uh), I been snappin' (uh)
My rhymes have been on point
What you doin'? What you doin'? That ain't rappin' (that right)
What are you doing? That doesn't qualify as true rap
That's how I cap it (I feel)
That's how I see it
Put a cap on it (yeah)
End that discussion
Luxury tax my flow
My rap style is of the highest quality
How I get it? You ain't even know
I achieved my success on my own, without your help
He ain't made it, you ain't make it, nigga
Neither you nor I have achieved success yet
I been flexin', I been reppin'
I've been showing off my skills and representing my hometown
I been doin' what I need to do and two steppin'
I've been doing whatever it takes to succeed and moving forward
Mississippi
Referring to the state of Mississippi where I come from
Daddy worked up on a train
My father worked on a train for a living
Momma always had brains, she a teacher now
My mother was always intelligent, now she's a teacher
You knowin' how we get down
You know our lifestyle and culture in Mississippi
So stop with all them bullshit moves about where I come from, nigga
Stop with all the false assumptions about where I come from
I'm just sayin', I ain't trippin' on your roll, but
I'm not concerned with your opinion, but
Let's be real, you ain't ever been around here before, and
Let's be honest, you have no experience with my hometown
You ain't ever seen the stars and the moon glow
You've never seen the beauty of the sky at night here
Never heard your Granny yell out, "Boy stop slammin' them doors," hey
You've never experienced the sounds of life in my hometown, like a grandmother scolding a child
Think about 'em all the time
I think about my family and my upbringing often
Show the young boy how to be a grown man
Teaching a young boy how to become a mature adult
From a grown man to a king so I could shine (shine)
From an adult to a successful person, so I could shine
Light brights and bright lights and let your little lights shine
Be bright and positive, and let your light shine
Believe that there
Believe in that positivity
When you came up where I come from, you gotta do what you gotta do
Growing up where I did, you have to take whatever opportunity you can get
To achieve that there
To achieve your goals
Them dreams and all that (all that)
Those dreams and aspirations
That bling and all that (all that)
That wealth and material possessions
Them screens and all that (all that)
Those TVs, computers, and other electronics
And them old schools, when they fall down, and that wood grain, too
And those classic cars, when they get old and the wood panels start to age
And that diamond in the back
That luxurious car with a diamond design in the back
Man, you seen that shit?
Have you seen that car?
Man, I got it just like that, hol' up
I have that car just like that, hold up
I remember not knowin' where I came from
I recall not fully understanding my roots
Until I realize where I come from
Until I became aware of my heritage
Proud parents, black parents, my parents
I have proud, black parents who are my parents
They standin' on the same steps that they supposed to
They are living up to their expectations
In the same place that they supposed to
Living in the place where they belong
And I'ma keep raisin' 'em higher and higher
I will continue to elevate them and myself
And the biggest house I can find, I'ma buy it and buy
I will buy the biggest house I can find
I'ma keep tryin' and tryin' to make 'em proud and all
I will keep trying to make them proud
That 2 Chainz song was right
2 Chainz was correct in his music
Most things ain't never ever ever happen overnight
Most success takes time and effort, not an immediate overnight change
But when you tryin' fly a kite and you gotta make that flight
When you're attempting a difficult task and must succeed
And you tryna make shit right
And attempting to right a wrong
You do what you need to do
You do whatever it takes to succeed
You're the only one, that can make it happen
You are the only one who can achieve success for yourself
So you had to make it and you had to run that marathon
You needed to work hard and complete the long journey to success
High hurdles, jumpin', 40 yard dashin'
Overcoming obstacles, and running a race with various challenges
Watchin' it happen, makin' it happen
Seeing success occur, and working hard to make it happen
We should watch it sometime, them haters
We should observe the success, while ignoring the haters
But you get greater later (Shine)
You will grow and become more successful in time
My later was even now
I was successful now, in the present
All my dreams are still profound
All my aspirations are still important
And I still get down, I get down, I get down
I'm still working hard, and enjoying success
And you hear the sound? Move
Listen to my music, and be motivated to move
Baby, I'm so southern I sometimes scare ignorant people's perception of independence
Being from the South makes some people doubt my ability to be independent
Bitch, I'm from Mississippi
I am from Mississippi, and proud of it
KRIT!
Referring to himself, Biggest of K.R.I.T.
