Not that it’s a bad song – it’s actually on my phone – but one of the top songs of 1995 was this which talks about nothing but collecting welfare checks and smoking weed.

Good Die Mostly Over Bullshit – means that we (black people) who were created to be pure and whole now kill and be killed over meaningless things. Simply because many of us aren’t aware of our true past of glory and royalty. When you know your worth and the history of your people than it’s easier to dissect what’s really worth fighting for and what’s bull shit. Fighting for the humanity and equality of your people is the goal. Fighting over money, jewelry and drugs is killing over bull shit.

GOD is in every black man- in Africa, our history predates to a time where our most brilliant ancestors were GOD’s and lived their lives as so. Realizing that GOD resides in you and not above you proves the existence of our ancestors and furthermore proving that if you identify with your third eye then you too will realize the GOD Within.

The black unemployment rate has typically been much higher than the national average, making black life a constant struggle for some. Add violence and drugs and you have an almost unwinnable fight.

This song gives two scenarios where niggas(and really all people) can really fuck up. The first is trying to escape poverty by drug selling which will never end well. Ever. The second is dealing with complicated hoes and getting caught up.

Basically they ignore clear warnings and it leads to that WTF moment.

Everything isn’t about “all people” all the time and that’s perfectly okay. Big K.R.I.T. is very specifically speaking on struggle from a Black man’s perspective on his personal struggle(s) and how he deals with them.

The second verse isn’t chucked up to simply “fucked with the wrong hoe, oops” either. Wow. As he’s still dealing with his issues, he finds comfort in a woman dealing with her own demons and subsequently, they find comfort in one another for one night that results in a unplanned pregnancy.

Luke 20:9: Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

Luke 20:10: And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

Luke 20:11: And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

Luke 20:12: And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

Luke 20:13: Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

Luke 20:14: But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

Luke 20:15: So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

Luke 20:16: He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. Holy Bible (KJV) – Luke 20

God had given the privilege of becoming his Nation, the vineyard, to the house of Judah, aka the Jews. They were to take care of it as “Husbandmen” do with those things. He kept sending prophets to them, but they kept mistreating them. Finally he sent the greatest of these prophets/servants his son. They killed him, as they would soon kill Jesus. By “casting them out of the vineyard”, he stripped them of the special privilege of being his people and destroyed them, by way of Roman armies in 66 CE.

Much of his musical work has been very strange compared to the rest of hip hop and even compared to his partner, Big Boi. Like a kid he does what he wants because he wants to do it, and not for the money… except maybe Gillette commercials.

Andre could also be telling Big Boi that he’s the same kid he was when they met and he didn’t care about money then so nothings changed, which can also be symbolic of the strength of their friendship.

“I’m a grown-ass kid” quotes a line from Kanye West’s 2003 debut single “Through the Wire,” which is a play on a line from the Toys “R” Us jingle (“I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys "R” Us kid").

Listen to the bars preceeding this, he did say he wanted all the things that come with a rich lifestyle, but here he clarify that he just wanted those things- not the money. He doesn’t care about money, he never did, as a kid he wanted what money could get him(not the money itself) and now he has all the money could buy and still doesn’t want the money. He doesn’t want any more money, he is still the same but older- a grown-ass kid

Double entendre:

  1. A literal hammer beats stakes into the ground. .

  2. He uses hammers (guns) to gain larger stakes (money). .

Also, why are we so caught up with things that are destructive AND illegal that we make them slang for good?
