first chain

coming from a city where bullets turn bro's into souls

who knew from that concrete that a rose had arose

good girls stopped being good when i turned 'em into hoes

dreams stopped being dreams when i turned 'em into goals

big was the first one that had it

then i saw nas' chain

man

that was illmatic

then i saw kanye's hanging from his gold necklace

then ye gave me mine

that show you my work ethic

mom had that hooptie that she ran in the dirt

used to pick me up from school right after work

now she rolling up in that caddy like she coming to church

she's ask why i rock all this gold

cause i'm coming in first

got the streets behind me like i was staring in the rear-view

used to have to take showers standing in the mildew

now i'm in the penthouse

look what a mill do

looking in the mirror and i'm still you

i'm still you

got my first chain

feeling like i got my first chain

i be stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

i be stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

big was the first one that had it

now jacob the jeweler benefit from my habits

i be stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

i be stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

what's the noise all about with this rap stuff

i can say i never been punked

robbed or smacked up

i can say i never been chased

jumped or backed up

i learned to patch it up to get passes to niggas who be acting up

cause it's a mental game

i learned that when i got my first initial chain

i didn't fake it

it was gold plated

i was posing relatin'

to those dealing with blow

had the it was those gangsters

that bonus

that culture

those projects

shiny shit on their necks

making both of my eyes squint

they got in my bones

now i'm coppin' stones

sorry sierra leone

one day we'll right the wrongs

18 karat gold cuban on

not too short

not too wide

not too long

my pendant offensive

in the truest form

platinum gold

rose gold

what you want?

big was the first one that had it

then i saw nas' chain

man

that was illmatic

and i be stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

i be stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

on a highway to heaven

look at all the tolls i paid

i done gave my city drive all the roads i paved

no matter what why i turn things go my way

i'm rocking chains everyday

so you know i slave

even when i'm just walking 'round the crib

nigga

to remind me of everything that we did

nigga

look up in the mirror

chain only thing lyin'

no heroes where i'm from

bullets only thing flying

i know the higher that i go

the harder to climb

but after that

the bigger the muscle and smarter the mind

police only work 12-hour shifts

cause in detroit that's cheaper than the bailout

bitch

trap house built brick by brick

paid dues on dues

ff good

you know i'm reppin' crew on crews

stack bills on bills till my backyards got pools on pools

girls on girls

lingerie and moulin rouge

god damn

i think i'm gon' o.d. off this asparagus and bread and pasta

need a doctor

i've been dogding shady hoes and rainy days

it's like i got a built-in doppler

and it's a shame

a fuckin' shame

i don't remember my first love or my first time prayin'

but remember my first ass and the first time she came

it almost felt as good as when i got my first chain

jay-z taught me money ain't a thing

came from the streets

headed to the hall of fame

stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

i be stunting

stunting like i got my first chain

it's such a wonderful thing

to see the end of all things

niggas and bitches

where you at?

i got my mind is on me

a couple others and dreams

would've seen me

me and my niggas in this bitch

about two months in a week's time

movin

feelin hellish with lemon

lime shine

now how the fuck can i chill now?

kanye think i'm dope

see this piece that i own now

how sick is the rope?

taking life for what it is

the troublesome chick

who throws fists

sometimes it's the weather

things switch up

people trip up

the money come down

then climb up

but when it come again

the most creepin'

deceivin'

men are scheme-schemin'

saying that you love me

you surely do and if you don't

motherfuck that sometimes

so dead it

shred it

young nigga lost to the night

i'm so ready to let it go

my life is fucking awesome

i could be fuckin' dead right now

but i'm awesome

so fuck whoever has a bad thought

don't know the god

cause when i leave this bitch you all gon' wish you knew the god

it might be too late

but the song's will live on

just know this fact

you were all wrong

now watch me do my silly dance

not really a dance

more like a prance

i'm signing off with a crotch grab

thank you man. for letting me get on this record sean

you the coolest

good music nigga forever

understand?
