American Rapstar Lyrics - Return Of 4 Eva - Big K.r.i.t.

[Intro - Talking] 

An A&R once told me "you can determine the worth of a song within 15 seconds of it playing" 

With complete n utter lack of the fact that it takes takes all 3 minutes and 40seconds of a song 

To comprehend what I'm sayin' 

It aint a single if it don't fly 

It aint a hit if it don't ride 

Now he couldn't tell me the components of a smash but the ringtones were their alltime high 

And a rappers only as big as his chain, the flashier the better 

[Chorus] 

They say money make the World go round 

You never lost til you lose your crown 

And they don't love you till you're on the ground 

Or when you're maxing out your bank account 

Yeah, you do it all just to live the life 

Even if it means you don't live it right 

And even if it means you don't survive the night 

But if even if you do you won't survive the hype 

Of an American rapstar

[Big K.R.I.T - Verse 1] 

Push it to the limit just to get up high 

With a wood grain kitted? 

Ride around town like I never lived in it 

Gun in my dash, pray I never kill with it 

I'm that real with it 

Got my eyes on the prize 

Bills still due, muthaf-ck 9-5 

Searching for a freak that wanna f-ck once or twice 

Wanna buy a bottle but I aint paid my ties 

This aint no lie, I got a vision and a masterplan 

To hit the block and blow up like a Taliban 

I make run the plane never have to land 

I make it where them lames never stand a chance 

Shit, you'll never know what the time'll tell 

And see the star or find the scale? 

We be buying or you tryna sell 

You either fall or you grind the rails 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

[Big K.R.I.T - Verse 2] 

So watch me get it how I live 

Waiting on my momma, screaming f-ck how they feel 

Dodging jail cells and them pigs down in ? 

They shot Oscar Grant swear it gave a n-gga chills 

Lets keep it real, if you aint looking keep your eyes closed 

Will I pay what I owe, only God knows 

I aint for show, give me strength just to change what I can't 

And understand the difference between a n-gga and the King that I am 

Gotta keep ya finger on the trigger 

Pac died, Biggie died, they aint found a killer 

Momma say she worried 'cause I rap about the Government 

And how the Church caked other people out there struggling (its real though) 

I just call it how it is foe 

I'm breathing for a reason, what you here for? 

They got us with the villains who a chill for? 

Cause they murdered all the heroes 

[Chorus]
