Big K.R.I.T. - Small As Giant lyrics

[Intro: Big K.R.I.T.] See, I was made in my father's image and they belittle my deeds Their lustful convictions pledge allegiance to the almighty power and greed See, seeds born withered, parents still children, adolescent in their ways Some preachers false prophets, educated pigeon droppers using our sins to get paid Slaves, give them freedom, but give them dope Take away their leaders cause that gives them hope Sell them dreams of changing things like they were never kings and queens befo' As small as a giant [Chorus] As small as a giant, I'm still riding Hand on my sword, Good Lord I need time Watch for the sun-eaters blocking our shine Enlighten my kind, reason for rhyme I'ma find Zion, free my soul Repent for all the things I done till my eyes close When the boat man come I'm paying my toll Outside the gates of Heaven, pray to God I'm chose As small as a giant [Big K.R.I.T.] The beginning's kinda dark, not too soft, fairly hard Drenched with love from my mother, connected to her struggle till she cut me loose, now what shall I do? It was all so easy, look at how they treat me ever since she pushed me through Now put me back in, stop these contractions Water breaking, aw damn, I know it's bout to happen Failed events, no picket fence, a dream deterred Bending liquor, chilling with my n***as, swishers and herb Eviction notices, hopelessness thrown on my shoulders God won't give you more than you can handle, carry these boulders Give it all I got until I get older Couple of medals on my sleeve cause life made me a soldier Reminisce on how it was way back when when some thangs were better off way back then As small as a giant, a promise so divided Probably ain't surprised in so long since we sung songs over large campfires Cosbi was cool, but television is a lie Some reason I relate to Survivor Fresh Prince with no Uncle Phil The Carlton that I knew never stayed where we lived, couldn't play with those kids While they was reading books, we was playing cops and crooks While they was writing essays, I was writing hooks momma I'll be that n***a on TV cause people like Bow Wow and Soulja Boy make it look easy No pun intended, hoping they get offended I'm throwing up if these n***as spitting Didn't write it, but recite it like puppets on strings Belittled as a peasant, but my bloodline is of kings Knight in shining armor for this rap sh**, I slash quick towards a man's beard, leaving gashes on these industry ba*tards They can't see what is real, don't know how I feel They weren't raised where I live, in Mississippi [Chorus] [Big K.R.I.T.] Rise and shine, no time for sleep, thinking bout eating Leaving this place, long gone I get no service on this earth, I need to phone home Did too much dirt to talk to God, nowadays I get the dial tone Try again tomorrow, my heart filled with sorrow My family broke too, so why bother trying to borrow? No car, no house, drug dealing, feeling like it might be my only option to get meals, what else could I do? Put yourself in my shoes If you had no whip, you'd take some shortcuts too There ain't no time to be wasted, the world is going under Nowadays can't tell fall from spring and winter from summer I wonder if this was meant to be Maybe all the bullsh** was meant for me, it takes a lot of energy Break these chains, erase these thangs society put up on our brain How could I explain it? We ain't free yet Obama cool, but he ain't sending me no free checks They k**ing all my n***as, Lord forbid I'll be next Not now, got too many sorrows to say and kisses to give They don't feel how I feel, they weren't raised where I live, in Mississippi [Chorus]
