Pre Season

Yeah, due season

Now should I talk about my grind or should I talk about my clothes?
I don't know kinfolk, I guess I talk about 'em both
Seventy-five hundred if you talkin' 'bout a show
My album sell gold, I'm gon' be talkin' 'bout some more
You better catch me now though, while the price is low
It's gon' be seven digits when your kinfolks blow
Okay, you want a show, bro? Let me get your mail
Holler at Frost and Tab and make sure you send my half
More shows, more deposits, more clothes for my closet
My grind is ridiculous, my flows is retarded
Plus I'm so articulate, CEO slash artist
And I'm on some different shit
Down in Memphis, this what they call me

They call me Kinfolk Kia Shine
I'm out of Memphis Tenn, a dirty dime
For seven years I been on my grind
Now it's due season, it's due season
Respect my fresh, you gon' respect my grind
On top of that you gon' respect my mind
Put in my time, now I'm next in line
Better catch me now while the price is low

Two hundred thousand records sold, all independent
Kinfolk Kia Shine, rap hustlin' out of Memphis
I'm tryna murk the business while you lames hurt the business
If you listen for a second, I'll show you how to work the business
How to press 'em up yourself and get eight bucks a unit
Keep 'em movin' off the shelf 'cause I know what the fuck I'm doin'
Thirty thousand each release, that's a quarter mil' a piece
I drop four within a year, that's a mil' ticket at least
That's before BET, that's without a video
That's without me bein' posted up in every city though
And strictly off word of mouth and have you heard about
Kinfolk Kia Shine? That's how the word get out
Kinfolk, I bleed the blocks of them moms and pops
Them BDSs made 'em drop me off a guap up top
I stay focused on my grind and do it just how it go
Y'all is listenin' to the sounds of the real kinfolk
Kia Shine

They call me Kinfolk Kia Shine
I'm out of Memphis Tenn, a dirty dime
For seven years I been on my grind
Now it's due season, it's due season
Respect my fresh, you gon' respect my grind
On top of that you gon' respect my mind
Put in my time, now I'm next in line
Better catch me now while the price is low

They say ain't where you from, it's 'bout what they pay you
Nigga, ask Drummer Boy, my nigga Jazze Pha
My plan is to take it from Memphis to Hollywood
Three 6 won a Oscar so I know that I could
Be the next one to go and just blow from my city
Inspired in '04 when Ball and G signed to Diddy
I'm on the full-time grind like Gotti
But player I stay fly, nobody needs nobody
But Memphis, Tennessee is about to come together
And Kinfolk Kia Shine is about to raise the level
Uh, from the city that invented crunk
Memphis, Tennessee and she ain't raised no punks
Home of the blues, birthplace of rock and roll
Buckle of the Bible Belt, it's the first place I go
When I wanna feel my soul, home of hustle and flow
Beale Street, Isaac Hayes, Elvis, and your kinfolk
Kia Shine

They call me Kinfolk Kia Shine
I'm out of Memphis Tenn, a dirty dime
For seven years I been on my grind
Now it's due season, it's due season
Respect my fresh, you gon' respect my grind
On top of that you gon' respect my mind
Put in my time, now I'm next in line
Better catch me now while the price is low

So nobody can't say I ain't say it
Due season is here, officially
I appreciate your purchase, I promise you it's gon' be worth it
