Krafty Kuts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're living it up, think you're a player
And I know there's something in the air
Are you giving it up? Do you like to share?
It's the same dirty game burning like a flame
It's gonna fail you but it wouldn't be mine, no
Down on your sleep, living like a liar
Laughing at your sleep, you don't know your name
It's a long climb back to daylight
High crime, it's not my time
I don't know why you can't see it
Well, you're living life without a care
Are you living enough or are you scared?
It seems to me you're unaware
Maybe living too much, playing solitaire
It's the same dirty groove, wouldn't you like to move?
It's gonna fail you, you can never be wise
You're down on your game, just the same old same
Feel the pointed fingers, they're for you
Long time, it's the same vibe
It's a long climb back to daylight
High crime, it's not my time
I don't know why you can't see it
Long time, it's the same vibe
It's a long climb back to daylight
High crime, it's not my time
I don't know why you can't see it
Well, I ain't defending my decision,
You call me a liar, well you ought to know
And there ain't no swerve in my division
At least I'm a trier
Now I got to go, oh yeah
Long time, it's the same vibe
It's a long climb back to daylight
High crime, it's not my time
I don't know why you can't see it
Long time, it's the same vibe
It's a long climb back to daylight
High crime, it's not my time
I don't know why you can't see it
The lyrics to Krafty Kuts Feat. T.C. Islaam's song "Long Time" appears to be a commentary on a person with a promiscuous lifestyle who may be unaware of the consequences of their actions. The lyrics suggest that this person is living life without a care and may be involved in an affair or other questionable activities.
The song starts off with the singer stating that "they" say the person is having an affair and living it up like a player. The singer seems to question whether this person is giving it up or likes to share. There is a sense of warning in the lyrics, urging the person to be careful as their actions will fail them eventually. The chorus repeats the phrase "long time, it's the same vibe, high crime, it's not my time" multiple times, suggesting that the person is stuck in a cycle of self-destructive behavior.
Towards the end of the song, the singer seems to distance themselves from the situation, saying they are not defending their decision and are instead being called a liar. The song ends with the singer saying they have to go and leaving the listener to ponder the meaning behind the lyrics.
Overall, the song appears to provide commentary on the dangers of living a life without care or concern for the consequences of one's actions. The lyrics suggest that this type of lifestyle may lead to self-destructive behavior and eventual downfall.
