Can't Be The Only One
Krizz Kaliko feat. Tech N9ne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can’t keep you waitin’
If I go away
But what I’m tryin’ to say is I can’t be the only one
This whole world’s participatin’
And life’s the game we playin’
And if I go away
I wasn’t meant to stay
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only
Yo, we livin’ in the last days
Baby if you know my kind, I ain’t got time to be livin’ in the fast lane
I played my last game, clock’s over fourth quarter
Cheaper to keep ‘er, never Mrs Watson in the court order
Caught the love but saw ‘er
The one the maddest program that thank you ma'am, lam bam and now they that order
Party your heart I can never slaughter
The statues I’m in love with your daughter, takin’ it further
Cause now she got a baby that she carry, a pitter-patter of little feet, of my heart beat
I gotta work cause we gotta eat
And it’s too many fishes in the sea
And I keep my pole to control what these devilish bitches want from me
Grass is greener on my side of the fence, it’s even good when it’s tits
We prayin’ we stay together, that’s our defence
See I was wrong but I’m right now, went dark but it’s bright now
Will I be like God’s son and I can’t be the only one
What you’re lookin’ for is amazing
But I can’t keep you waitin’
If I go away
But what I’m tryin’ to say is I can’t be the only one
This whole world’s participatin’
And life’s the game we playin’
And if I go away
I wasn’t meant to stay
And I can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only
Ya, you for real like, what it feel like?
To have a famous individual is real nice
He has inhaled type skills for poppin’ pills pipe drill
It feels right kill ‘til night then hail sky
When he gone, but a brother got many things
That would cover ‘bout any dream
But I love ‘er not any means
No multiple dates nor the one to form any team
Even if you lived in lake shore you’re cabri green
And you know that, that it’s hard to chew on that
You want that? When he’s tourin’ go nobody, screw on that
Please baby, Polly’s takin’ number 3’s lady
If you thinkin’ about getting it deep when he’s gone then he’s crazy
Cause you see him ‘bout once a year
When he do his shows
But you say you love him from his head to his toes and he believed you
That’s just like a human thinkin’ we the only life form
Given that booey so I can’t be the only one hittin’
[Hook]
If Hip-Hop just died this morning, I’m resurrecting it
Protect the neck of it way up, grab the best of us resefilis
The follow us religiously like we Baptists unrevenous
I holler at the epitome of havin’ to ref with this
I eat, eat, eat MC’s for breakfast
And heat-seek geeks if they speakin’ reckless
My speech seems lame like a gleamin' necklace
Why y’all geeks follow me an re-tweet my message
V.E. Lee he speaks this too deep
For you to see me if they speak queef through your teeth and skeet
You’ll never beat me, we are lookin’ for a pot of gold
Baby sell a million records for we owe without sellin’ our soul
Some ain't got the pipes for it (Sorry)
But they pay ‘em real nice for it
Michael down that’s the best that ever did it
I mean that I should quit it
I’m done and I can’t be the only one
What you’re lookin’ for is amazing
But I can’t keep you waitin’
If I go away
But what I’m tryin’ to say is I can’t be the only one
This whole world’s participatin’
And life’s the game we playin’
And if I go away
I wasn’t meant to stay
And I can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only one
Can’t be the only
Can’t be the
I can’t be the only one
The lyrics of "Can't Be The Only One," by Krizz Kaliko feat. Tech N9ne, speak about the idea that everyone needs someone to share their life with, and nobody can be the only one in this world. Krizz Kaliko acknowledges that the person he is with is amazing, but he also realizes that he cannot keep her waiting for too long. He believes that life is like a game, and everyone is participating in it. If he goes away, it doesn't mean he was not meant to stay; it is just that he cannot be the only one.
Tech N9ne then raps about living in the last days, and how he doesn't have time to be living in the fast lane. He acknowledges that there are too many fishes in the sea and he keeps his pole to control what these devilish bitches want from him. He speaks about the grass being greener on his side of the fence, and that he must work hard because they have to eat. He confesses that he was wrong in the past but now he is right, and he can't be the only one.
The song is reflective of the idea that everyone needs someone to share their life with, and that nobody can be the only one in this world. Although the lyrics are subjective to the artists' personal experiences, it mirrors the human condition of wanting to belong and have someone to share our lives with. It is a universal message conveyed through a rap song, which is not common in a genre that is mostly associated with bravado, machismo, and materialism.

I’m trying to say that I can’t be the only person involved in this situation
This whole world’s participatin’
Everyone in the world is involved in their own life

Can’t be the only one
I can’t be the only person involved in this situation
Yo, we livin’ in the last days
We’re currently living in the end times
Baby if you know my kind, I ain’t got time to be livin’ in the fast lane
If you know me, you know I don’t have time to live a fast-paced lifestyle
I played my last game, clock’s over fourth quarter
I’ve already used up all of my playing time
Cheaper to keep ‘er, never Mrs Watson in the court order
It’s better to stay with someone than to go through the hassle of a divorce settlement
Caught the love but saw ‘er
I fell in love with someone, but I saw her true colors
The one the maddest program that thank you ma'am, lam bam and now they that order
The relationship was moving too fast and now it’s falling apart
Party your heart I can never slaughter
I will never ruin your good time
The statues I’m in love with your daughter, takin’ it further
I’m in love with your daughter and want to take the relationship to the next level
Cause now she got a baby that she carry, a pitter-patter of little feet, of my heart beat
She’s pregnant with my child
I gotta work cause we gotta eat
I have to work to provide for us
And it’s too many fishes in the sea
There are too many options to choose from
And I keep my pole to control what these devilish bitches want from me
I keep my guard up to avoid getting taken advantage of
Grass is greener on my side of the fence, it’s even good when it’s tits
Things always seem better from my perspective
We prayin’ we stay together, that’s our defence
We’re hoping to stay together as a couple
See I was wrong but I’m right now, went dark but it’s bright now
I was previously wrong, but I’m right now and my situation has improved
Will I be like God’s son and I can’t be the only one
Maybe I can be like Jesus and not be the only one to sacrifice
Ya, you for real like, what it feel like?
Are you really feeling this?
To have a famous individual is real nice
It’s nice to be with someone famous
He has inhaled type skills for poppin’ pills pipe drill
He’s skilled at doing drugs
It feels right kill ‘til night then hail sky
It feels good to party and do drugs all night
When he gone, but a brother got many things
When he’s gone, I have many things to occupy me
That would cover ‘bout any dream
I have enough resources to pursue any dream I have
But I love ‘er not any means
But I love her and not for her money or resources
No multiple dates nor the one to form any team
I’m not interested in dating multiple people or being a part of any team
Even if you lived in lake shore you’re cabri green
Even if you have a lot of money and a fancy lifestyle, I’m not interested
And you know that, that it’s hard to chew on that
You know it’s hard for you to accept that
You want that? When he’s tourin’ go nobody, screw on that
You want to be with me while I’m touring and no one else, but that’s not possible
Please baby, Polly’s takin’ number 3’s lady
Please be with someone else, I’m not interested
If you thinkin’ about getting it deep when he’s gone then he’s crazy
If you’re considering cheating on me when I’m gone, that’s crazy
Cause you see him ‘bout once a year
Because you only see me once a year when I’m touring
When he do his shows
When I perform my concerts
But you say you love him from his head to his toes and he believed you
But you claim to love me completely and I believed you
That’s just like a human thinkin’ we the only life form
That’s like humans thinking we’re the only intelligent life in the universe
Given that booey so I can’t be the only one hittin’
Given that opportunity, I can’t be the only one having sex
If Hip-Hop just died this morning, I’m resurrecting it
If Hip-Hop died today, I would revive it
Protect the neck of it way up, grab the best of us resefilis
I will protect and preserve Hip-Hop no matter what
The follow us religiously like we Baptists unrevenous
Our fans follow us religiously and without hesitation
I holler at the epitome of havin’ to ref with this
I am the perfect example of someone who has to deal with this lifestyle
I eat, eat, eat MC’s for breakfast
I destroy other rappers with ease
And heat-seek geeks if they speakin’ reckless
I target those who disrespect me
My speech seems lame like a gleamin' necklace
My words may seem unimpressive, like a shiny necklace
Why y’all geeks follow me an re-tweet my message
Why do you geeks follow me and retweet my messages?
V.E. Lee he speaks this too deep
V.E. Lee is someone who speaks deeper than me
For you to see me if they speak queef through your teeth and skeet
You won't understand my perspective unless you really listen
You’ll never beat me, we are lookin’ for a pot of gold
You'll never surpass me; we are all searching for success
Baby sell a million records for we owe without sellin’ our soul
We can achieve success without sacrificing our morals or values
Some ain't got the pipes for it (Sorry)
Some people just can't handle this lifestyle
But they pay ‘em real nice for it
But they are paid well for their efforts
Michael down that’s the best that ever did it
Michael Jackson was the best at what he did
I mean that I should quit it
I should give up this career
I’m done and I can’t be the only one
I'm finished with this lifestyle and I can't be the only one
Can’t be the
I can't be the only one
I can’t be the only one
I can't be the only person involved in this situation
