Looking back, K.R.I.T. had the verse of 2011

[Francium]

I did it all for the money, Lord
That's what it seems..
Well, in the world of night terrors it's
Hard to dream
they hollerin' cash rules everything
Just call it cream
cause when it rises to the top
You get the finer things
Oceanfronts, rolling blunts
with model chicks And saying grace over lobster and steak
Like please forgive us for riding Benzes with camera plates
Too busy looking backwards for jackers to pump my brakes
For help signs to symbolize the lives that hunger takes
Addicted to the green, if I don't ball I'll get the shakes
I'd give it all for peace of mind, for Heaven's sake
My heart's so heavy that the ropes that hold my casket breaks
Cause everything that wasn't for me I had to chase
I had to take

undun had so many gems on there. Album of The Year for me. Only knock I had on it was the length.

Lighthouse

Smoking cheap weed sipping on cheap vodka
You pick your poison down Davy Jones’ locker
It’s rum we be wanting
By the tons my consumption
Take a look at my lungs and my liver
It’s disgusting
Take a look at the man in the mirror
We start fussing
Only one person gets hurt when throwing the punches
Me
And the man behind the glass just laughs
The waves come over my head and just crash
My hand start bleeding water starts receeding
A feeling comes into my heart I start believing that
I actually might survive through the evening
Survive on my own thoughts of suicide that’s competing
With thoughts of tryna stay alive which been weakened
By the feeling of putting on a smile while being beaten
The fear of drowning still diving in the deep end
The waters carried me so far you can’t reach ‘em
And it feels like there’s no one

I dunno what verse you are referring to but...no.

Also 'Undun' is one of The Roots best albums, shame people hated on it so much. Only their masterpieces TFA and Illadelph are better.
