[Intro: Rapsody & Big K.R.I.T.]
But, so be it! Yeah
But, so be it!
What's happenin' Rapsody?
What's up, Big K.R.I.T.?
And shout out to all my country folk
From Carolina to Mississippi and everywhere in between, huh!
Big K.R.I.T
9th Wonder!
This country livin is much love, man
Shout out to 9th, what's goin' on mane? (Yeah)
Appreciate you lettin' a country boy on the record, you know?
It's love all the same
There it go
(Yo)
Ah-ha! Leggo!
[Verse 1: Rapsody (Big K.R.I.T.)]
I'm a country girl, Carolina be where I'm from (From)
Twang when I speak slang, whole lot of fresh air in my lungs (So be it)
Ain't gon change myself, no I'll never, naw
When I was young a lil' less tall on grass and dirt I would ball (But so be it!)
In the store, walking in my house shoes cool (Cool)
Pops had a big automobile, growing up he named Big Blue (But so be it!)
And the car's here, we drive real young (Young)
Gotta add some sugar to my tea to sweeten my tongue (But so be it!)
And we hang late, at the hole in the wall places
Drink moonshine, play spades, talkin' sports and cut them aces
Twin jokers, being loud, I'm from the country, I'm proud
Our laces untied and un-tucked, they hang on the ground (But so be it!)
Mama told me show respect and bless my food 'fore it's down (Down)
Say "No, sir" or "Yes No Ma'am" when spoken to around town (But so be it!)
And the food is mostly fried, add an inch to my thighs (Thighs)
Bump that volume, Bun B, OutKast, UGK when I ride
And unique down in the south where you speak from your mouth
There's random folk up in the street, don't lock the doors to your house (But so be it!)
In church three, four times in a week
And all my aunts, uncles, grandmas all live on the same street (But so be it!)
Summer's hot here on 4 wheelers we roam
When we young, but when we grown, we sitting high on big chrome (But so be it!)
Country livin and dirt road remedies
Grandma made medicine out of tea and leaves (But so be it!)
[Hook: Big K.R.I.T. with Rapsody]
Cause you know the score, I still represent for mine
Gotta give it all I got, 'cause I don't wanna waste no time
We all got family in the south, don't believe me?
I'll welcome ya'll with open arms, come see me
In Mississippi
[Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T. (Rapsody)]
Okay now mason jars is drippin', red buckets in our kitchen (Kitchen)
Heard they was delicious, but I ain't fuckin' with them chitlins
But still thankful for what was given while they talk down on my state
Call us slow and uneducated, but won't say it to my face
Most never been, most never will, they can't enjoy what I did (Did)
Backyards was hella large playin' ball with my friends (Friends)
It takes a village to raise a child and I was surrounded by kin (Kin)
A lot of elders who knew better and had knowledge to lend
Like never hold your head down, boy, be proud of your skin (Skin)
Believe that God is in your heart and Jesus died for your sins (Sins)
Sunday morning before I'm yawning we be up in them pews (Pews)
Fall asleep on big momma while she payin' her dues
Sometime she cry, I dry her eyes, I know how hard times be
She said that love will cost you everything, but pain come free (Free)
Cause bein' country mean bein' strong you got to stand on your own
She taught me well, I've been compelled to prove these city folk wrong
Cause ain't no dirt road where I'm nappin, no horseback cappin'
So be it if you think we whack, but nigga down here still be snappin'
Took it from the Dirty South, to the top of the map and
So be it, I put it down for my folk and holla like "Hold up, what's happenin?"
But, so be it
