King's Blues

[Hook: Big K.R.I.T. & (Erykah Badu)]

I got no time to waste

I got more bills to pay

I got more mouths to feed now, now, now

I got no time to play

I got no need to stay

When ain't no money around, round, round

What's a king without a crown?

(Time's a wastin')

What's a car without some sound?

(Don't you take your time, young man)

[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T.]

Never been on that silly sucka shit

Rather ride pimped out four-doors

With the wood-grain dashboard, and a rim that sits swole

And the embroidered headrest

Yeah, that be dead fresh

In your ear like headsets

Sleepy eye, forever grind, no bed rest

I can't depend on that next check 'cause it ain't bout shit

The type of broke that got me searching through my mama's couch

For some loose change, got that dollar menu

McDouble, a small fry, lemonade and sweet tea blended

Now here it is Monday, will that get me through 'til Wednesday?

It’ll kill them hunger pains even though it ain't fulfilling

I make do with what God give me, and I take it day by day

I would come by more often, but I can't stay, 'cause...

[Hook: Big K.R.I.T. & Erykah Badu]

I got no time to waste

I got more mouths to feed now, now, now

I got no time to play

I got no need to stay

When ain't no money around, round, round

What's a king without a crown?

(Time's a wastin')

What's a car without some sound?

(Don't you take your time, young man)

[Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T.]

Try not to step on my toes

Wit' your swole bankrolls you blow and throw

On stripper pole pros you barely know, make it rain

If I was paid with no knowledge or two months late on my mortgage

In the hood that ain't safe, I'd do the same thing

But wishful thinking ain't shit without genius

I can't define how I feel, that's why I'm searching for meaning

No need to pinch me in my player suite, I know when I'm dreaming

My mama tell me 'be careful,' 'cause she know when I'm scheming

Lottery winners don't run in my family

Nor do seven dots when dice starts, so ain't no sense in me gambling

We just crap out

Maybe they'll listen to me, if I pulled the strap out

Like 'give me everything, or I'mma black out', 'cause

[Hook: Big K.R.I.T. & Erykah Badu]

I got no time to waste
