Free Agent - Big K.R.I.T.

: Big KRIT & Breakfast Club

DJ Envy: «Def Jam didn’t really support, uhhh…»

Charlamagne: «I was shocked they put your album out.

I’m not gonna lie to you.»

KRIT: «For real you were shocked?

Charlamagne: I mean, I knew you had an underground following cuz of your

mixtapes and stuff.»

DJ Envy: «They wasn’t ready»

Charlamagne: «…but I was shocked that they actually put your album out.»

Angela Yee: «How many more mixtapes did you end up putting out before they

released your album?»

KRIT: «I mean exactly»

Angela Yee: «I know you did a lot of touring…»

KRIT: «Yeah»

Charlamagne: «I knew people in the Def Jam building who was like, 'man.

' I say when the Big Krit album coming out?

And they say 'NEVER.

Ain’t gonna sell no records.'»

I built it from the ground up

Act like they found us

From the sign of the label, tried to drown us

I built a boat in a moat for my castle

I graduated to a businessman, I got tassels

Another chapter, another story, another plot

Mother fuck the ball in their court, I took a shot

Three presidents in 5 years, I never stopped

While they worried about the single sales--

The albums flopped

Oh Lord, Lord, Lord there they go

Trying to fuck me out another but I ain’t a ho

I produce and write my own shit, I know the score

I’ma drop another mixtape, and go on tour

We ain’t playing games man, I’m too grown

For you to try to take me out my motherfucking zone

For you to try and tell me I ain’t motherfucking known

I guess I gotta do it how I done it on my own, UH

I been a free agent nigga

I been a free agent nigga

Even when I was signed

It was multi til I die

I’ve proven motherfuckers wrong

Every got damn time

I been a free agent nigga

I been a free agent nigga

Naw they can’t hold us

Put the whole team on my shoulders

Now there’s money on the way

Because the contract’s over

What good is a team if they don’t ball out with you?

Domino niggas they’ll fall out with you

At the table with the majors they go all out with you

Til you’re underground with it, they won’t crawl out with you

So they serve, serve you a plate

Full of scraps and the bait

You ain’t eating so you ate

You ain’t moving so you shake

What you can

'cuz you gotta drop another album

But ain’t make a mother fucking dollar, OH!

Mane it’s hard to understand

How they rob a nigga then shake his other hand?

How I hit the road when I ain’t never have a chance?

How I sell out shows and I ain’t even make 'em dance?

How I ain’t a gimmick but I got all these fans?

How I made in merch what you got in your advance?

How I work the tape like I was bagging up the grams?

How a country boy took that country shit and ran?

UH

I been a free agent nigga

I been a free agent nigga

Even when I was signed

It was multi til I die

I’ve proven motherfuckers wrong

Every god damn time

I been a free agent nigga

I been a free agent nigga

Naw they can’t hold us

Put the whole team on my shoulders

Now there’s money on the way

Because the contract’s over
