Big Sean - First Chain (feat. Nas & Kid Cudi) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Big Sean]Coming from a city where bullets turn bro's into soulsWho knew from that concrete that a rose had aroseGood girls stopped being good when I turned 'em into hoesDreams stopped being dreams when I turned 'em into goalsBIG was the first one that had itThen I saw Nas' chain, man, that was illmaticThen I saw Kanye's hanging from his gold necklaceThen Ye gave me mine, that show you my work ethicMom had that hooptie that she ran in the dirtUsed to pick me up from school right after workNow she rolling up in that Caddy like she coming to churchShe's ask why I rock all this gold, cause I'm coming in firstGot the streets behind me like I was staring in the rear-viewUsed to have to take showers standing in the mildewNow I'm in the penthouse, look what a mill doLooking in the mirror and I'm still you, I'm still you[Hook]Got my first chainFeeling like I got my first chainI be stunting, stunting like I got my first chainI be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain[Bridge]BIG was the first one that had itNow Jacob the Jeweler benefit from my habitsI be stunting, stunting like I got my first chainI be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain[Verse 2: Nas]What's the noise all about with this rap stuffI can say I never been punked, robbed or smacked upI can say I never been chased, jumped or backed upI learned to patch it up to get passes to niggas who be acting upCause it's a mental game, I learned that when I got my first initial chainI didn't fake it, it was gold plated, I was posing relatin'To those dealing with blow, had the [?] it was those gangstersThat bonus, that culture, those projectsShiny shit on their necks, making both of my eyes squintThey got in my bones, now I'm coppin' stonesSorry Sierra Leone, one day we'll right the wrongs18 karat gold Cuban on, not too short, not too wide, not too longMy pendant offensive, in the truest formPlatinum gold, rose gold, what you want?[Hook][Bridge]BIG was the first one that had itThen I saw Nas' chain, man, that was illmaticAnd I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chainI be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain[Verse 3: Big Sean]On a highway to heaven, look at all the tolls I paidI done gave my city drive all the roads I pavedNo matter what why I turn things go my wayI'm rocking chains everyday, so you know I slaveEven when I'm just walking 'round the crib, niggaTo remind me of everything that we did, niggaLook up in the mirror, chain only thing lyin'No heroes where I'm from, bullets only thing flyingI know the higher that I go, the harder to climbBut after that, the bigger the muscle and smarter the mindPolice only work 12-hour shiftsCause in Detroit that's cheaper than the bailout, *****Trap house built brick by brick, paid dues on duesFF good, you know I'm reppin' crew on crewsStack bills on bills till my backyards got pools on poolsGirls on girls, lingerie and Moulin RougeGod damn, I think I'm gon' O.D.Off this asparagus and bread and pastaNeed a doctor, I've been dogding shady hoes and rainy daysIt's like I got a built-in dopplerAnd it's a shame, a *****in' shameI don't remember my first love or my first time prayin'But remember my first ass and the first time she cameIt almost felt as good as when I got my first chain[Hook][Bridge]Jay-Z taught me money ain't a thingCame from the streets, headed to the hall of fameStunting, stunting like I got my first chainI 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 thingsNiggas and *****es, where you at?I got my mind is on meA couple others and dreams, would've seen meMe and my niggas in this *****About two months in a week's timeMovin, feelin hellish [?] with lemon, lime shineNow how the ***** can I chill now?Kanye think I'm dopeSee this piece that I own nowHow sick is the rope?Taking life for what it isThe troublesome chick, who throws fistsSometimes it's the weatherThings switch up, people trip upThe money come down, then climb upBut when it come againThe most creepin', deceivin', men are scheme-schemin'Saying that you love me, you surely do and if you don'tMother***** that sometimesSo dead it, shred itYoung nigga lost to the nightI'm so ready to let it goMy life is *****ing awesome, I could be *****in' dead right now,But I'm awesomeSo ***** whoever has a bad thoughtDon't know the godCause when I leave this ***** you all gon' wish you knew the GodIt might be too late, but the song's will live onJust know this fact, you were all wrongNow watch me do my silly danceNot really a dance, more like a pranceI'm signing off with a crotch grab[Outro: Kid Cudi]Thank you man. for letting me get on this record SeanYou the coolestGOOD music nigga foreverUnderstand?
