Verse I
I look at it like its my first time
My first breath if air
My first glimpse at daylight, becomes a first stare
Folks thirsting for what's found in my verses
I'm a merchant with the product
Pushing it like it's my first sale
I'm building a foundation, wit the first nail
My first win, that's the result of my first fail
Storyies in first person, never 2nd or 3rd
You live & you earn, my first album was first concern
I was the first s**m to break through
Some get into this just to make the loot, but first you've got to pay your dues
A father for the first time, back in '03
My first child, first smile in a while that I showed teeth
The song that I was on, I did for no fee, lowkey, nobody knows me style of an o.g
The first street that I lived on was Porter Avenue
The rent's due on the first, so I does what I have to do
Lowercase y first, then capital U
My first time sippin was trippin off the absolute
I learned, first get your own.. Nothing's handed. Understanding is planning, I'd be the first to tell yo *ss the truth
Gimme the loot first, B-I, G's stack 'em high
The last one to sleep on, Z is the letter after y
I craft the rhyme first to match the beat attached to
Since the first verse that I wrote, it felt natural
I'm so glad I've got a home I can go back to
While on earth, I put allah first.. That way I can't lose
Hook
You see the first nail holds the foundation in place
I be the first one to peep you out if you was a snake
We tell 'em first you've gotta earn your worth here on earth
To be first is a gift and a curse, it's hard work being first..
