BIG SEAN - First Chain lyrics
rate me(Feat. Nas & Kid Cudi)
Oh, BIG!
Coming from a city where bullets turn bros 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 (goals)
BIG was the first one that had it
Then I saw Nas chain. Man, that was…
Then I saw … hanging from his gold necklace
Then Ye gave me mine, that show you my work ethic
Mom had that … 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 at 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!
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 relating
To those dealing with blow, had the big gold , bow anchors
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….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:
Got, got my first chain
Go doobie 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!
Jesus!
BIG was the first one that had it
Then I saw Nas chain.
Man, that was illmatic
Stunning, stunting like I got my first chain
And I be stunting, stunting like I got one 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 around 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 repping crew on crews
Stack bills on bills to my backyards got pools on pools
Girls on girls, lingerie and Moulin Rouge.
God damn, I think I'm gonnna OD off this asparagus and bread and pasta
Need a doctor!
I've been dodging 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 I remember my first ass and the first time she came
It almost felt as good as when I got my first chain!
Hook:
Got my first chain
When 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!
Jay-Z taught me money in day
Came from the streets, headed to the Hall of Fame
And I be 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 who… where you at?
I got my… is on me
A couple others and dreams,
Would have seen me and my niggas in this bitch
About two months in a week's time
Moving, feeling 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 will they come again?
The most creeping, deceiving, men are scheme-scheming
Saying that you love me, you surely hope and if you don't
Motherfucker sometimes is so dead it, shredded!
Young nigga lost to the night
I'm so ready to let it go
My life is fucking awesome,
I feel I should be 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 gonna 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 starting off with a crotch grab!
[Outro:]
Perfect!
Thank you, man for letting me get on this record
Sean, you the coolest
GOOD music nigga forever
Understand?
Yeah!
