First Chain
(专辑: Hall Of Fame - 2013)
[Verse 1: Big Sean] 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 [Hook] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 2: Nas] 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 relating 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 copping 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? [Hook] [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3: Big Sean] 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 lying 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 repping 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
fucking shame I
don't remember my first love or my first time praying But remember my first ass and the
first time she came It almost felt as good as when I
got my first chain [Hook] [Bridge] 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 [Verse 4: Kid Cudi] 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 creeping, deceiving, men are scheme-scheming 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 fucking 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 [Outro: Kid Cudi] Thank you man. for letting me get on this record Sean You the
coolest GOOD music nigga forever Understand?
