Can't Be Still - Big K.R.I.T., BJ The Chicago Kid

Lord, Lord, Lord

I’ve been down for so long I can’t be still

Calling out for your name, heaven it can’t be here

Lord, Lord, Lord

I’ve been down for so long I can’t be still

Calling out for your name, heaven it can’t be here

Mic check, one check, one two, anybody out there listenin'

To my pains and my disposition, I’m on that impossible mission

Tryna make somethin' out of nothin'

Before the government come and crush it

Ain’t enough weed and Codeine you can pour me

To keep me buzzin'

Shawty burnin' palo santo to clear the air

Lay some Krizzle out even if my energy ain’t really there

I’m thankful that you shared

I’m more concerned with a big house and a nice car

But she don’t care

But I’m an alpha male so I grind

The 40 acres and mule, I want mine

Ain’t nothin' free in life they woulda told me

As a new born I could barely walk

Tryna chase a dollar on Easter Sunday

Then they popped my collar like be a player

Don’t fall victim to bein' broke

Them white folk want you down and poor

So get money, that’s all I know

Lord, Lord, Lord

I’ve been down for so long I can’t be still

Calling out for your name, heaven it can’t be here

Lord, Lord, Lord

I’ve been down for so long I can’t be still

Calling out for your name, heaven it can’t be here

Nowadays bottles get popped

Ain’t been to the doctor for a physical in a minute

I’m sure my liver probably shot

Ain’t no sleepin' if you on

Tryna keep up with the Joneses

Yeah, it’s lonely at the top but the view is beautiful

In the morning to tell the truth I miss my family

Ain’t spoke to my mom in weeks

I promised her I buy her a new house

The next time that we speak

So I’ma hit the road like a flat tire

Run these brakes 'till they squeak

And I’ma pimp what I can from Def Jam

Cause I know my worth ain’t cheap

Ya’ll can’t sell me no dream

I done been down and out, growing

If happiness is the tour bus that’s a far aways from homeless

That’s a far away from where they want me

Shuckin', jivin', for a piece of change

These niggas do whatever for the shine

But I can’t be the same

Lord, Lord, Lord

I’ve been down for so long I can’t be still

Calling out for your name, heaven it can’t be here

Lord, Lord, Lord

I’ve been down for so long I can’t be still

Calling out for your name, heaven it can’t be here
