Big K.R.I.T. - Got Me Thru lyrics

[Verse 1: DeLorean] Ain't every flower in the concrete bloomin' Never walked through Bloomin's, it was gloomin' Droppin' numbers for a feature Western Union was my partner I was tryna' get them bourbons on some choppers Ridin' dirty through the city like I got you Everything I had about ya blazing fire I'mma quit when I cop me a couple prizes It got hot up in that drive I got tired of sweating bullets, like one day I gotta pull it Yea - back against the wall, my ego turned into bully I ain't moving, I ain't budging - I got buzzin' with no budget Bloggers said I had it next, I was standing next to nothing Conversations getting deeper, growing further from my people Lost my love of life in high school I always knew she was a keeper I was lost since, double crossed, b**h, now I'm cross fit Had to work a jelly for a outfit Outskirts know me by my middle name, ain't no one to blame Twenty thou', bust it down with the game, everything, mane [Hook: Big K.R.I.T.] Breaking bread, payin' dues, that's what got me through Stacking hundreds 'til they blue, that's what got me through Doing what a king do, that's what got me through Pulling stunts with the crew, that's what got me through That's what got me through, that's what got me through That's what got me through b**h, that's what got me through That's what got me through, that's what got me through Play to win, making moves, that's what got me through [Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T.] Pushing that Maxima with no cash in her Fresh T so I ain't fastenin' up my belt Back then I was jamming myself Like who the f** gon' tell me I ain't gonna be the best that they ever heard? Sipping 211's on the curb Rollin' dime sacks for that herb and blow it down What you know about that Greyhound on I-20, off the porch Out the pen selling CD's outside of Magic City That's dedication, preparation My presentation too player made Clockin' in like Flavor Flav I'm selling lemon stand lemonade My Forces bubble toed Boosie fade turn 'em all even Grandma think I'm smoking with the junkies cause I'm 160 somethin' Barely eatin', but that prime time flow When you been up like two days Trap house, making beats for the low 50 dollars here, 100 dollars there But when you're dead broke, everything gone Thanking God for that place to stay in them showers Even if they're cold Them nice young women would cook me a plate for free, even if they hoes So I don't take for granted steak and shrimp Leave a healthy tip on the side For all the times God showed me love Even if I couldn't pay my tithes [Hook: Big K.R.I.T.] Breaking bread, payin' dues, that's what got me through Stacking hundreds 'til they blue, that's what got me through Doing what a king do, that's what got me through Pulling stunts with the crew, that's what got me through That's what got me through, that's what got me through That's what got me through, b**h that's what got me through That's what got me through, that's what got me through Play to win, making moves, that's what got me through [Verse 3: Big Sant] Late night talking like early night More like, everyday we was on a mission To get off in a mansion, not off in a prison Everywhere representing that 'sippi like we 'posed to, pimp Take everything I love, put it on my shoulders, pimp throwed it Everything stood in our way while we tryna build Got crushed and folded Now suddenly all the opponents writing rhymes and bending corners Gimme 50 feet, you all up on me Cause I don't believe you when you say you want it And it's bigger than just tryin' to get it when you want to get it right Went platinum, how to feed your kids like fighting for your life When the choices wasn't even spoke, the rent or the lights We all in the dark beggin' for sparks And can't see the way whether day or the night And some of them troubles just ain't worth the fight But this is for pride, this is for niches I need a witness we havin' church in the night I guess that I'm doing alright And thank God for good friends and cousins Cause I could've been out here struggling Talkin' about my should've, would've, could've havin' nothin' When my nothing turns to something Best believe you've gone to see No matter how good I make it look, it ain't easy being me, OG [Outro] That's what got me through (got me through) That's what got me through (Better believe it y'all)
