This is the first day
In the rest of your life
Take it serious
[Verse 1: Windchill]
Yo, the sun breaks the horizon
Jimmy rises on his birthday
Opens his eyes to what seems like a normal Thursday
Celebration was in order
He called his closes friends
And got his mother to watch his daughter
A single father who just turned 21
He could die of war drink at the bar and buy a gun
The stress on his head must of weighed a ton
Reduced to livin' the life of crumbs
Now he's off to the bar
To celebrate his day of birth
They all left at the same time
But his friends made it first
The whole ride there Jimmy felt he could burst
And turned his 97' Accord into a Herse
So on the way to the bar
He stopped by a church
Conversating with God about his life and his work
Talkin' bout his baby mom and how he wish it would work
He said he'd take her back despite the fact she drugged him through the dirt
His eyes overflowed tears ran down his face
His heart started beating at a rapid pace
All the good times at the bar would have to wait
He crashed the car- paralyzed at the waist
This was the first day
In the rest of his life
He became oh too familiar with those lonely nights
Yo' he mighta' changed the future but held onto the past
Watch your step, life can come at you fast
[Chorus X2]
This is the first day
In the rest of your life
You betta' know what it's worth or at least think twice
About the life that you just had to escape
This is the first day
This is the first day
