Did It First

Where I'm from they never did it, I did it first
Rap game wasn't shit, I gave it birth
I told 'em niggas I would make it 'cause I wouldn't stop it
Yeah they was laughing now I'm laughing 'cause I know they watching
See where I'm from they never did it, I did it first
Rap game wasn't shit, I gave it birth
I told 'em niggas I would make it 'cause I wasn't stop it
Yeah they was laughing now I'm laughing 'cause I know they watching
I know you watching

I know they watching me, in and out of poverty
Hit me tryna get it, the only reason the calling me
Saying I got lucky and copy, I hit the lottery
Pottery, how I'm old in the game, my gift is an artistry
Follow me nigga, that's what I told them to do
You started laughing, now it's funny 'cause the joke is on you
Nothing funny, now I'm winning, I was talking the truth
Nothing less, nothing more when I step in the booth

It's a prediction, you just a witness
I tried to tell them I was different, they wouldn't listen
What they started I'mma finish, I got a vision
You could stay or you can follow, you leave this prision
When I had no pot to piss in, your ass was missin'
Now you asking how I did it, it's repetition
Hope, belief, without an ending, it's a religion
I told your ass that I would do it
I fucking did it

Where I'm from they never did it, I did it first
Rap game wasn't shit, I gave it birth
I told 'em niggas, I would make it 'cause I wouldn't stop it
Yeah they was laughing now I'm laughing 'cause I know they watching
See where I'm from they never did it, I did it first
Rap game wans't shit, I gave it birth
I told 'em niggas, I would make it 'cause I wouldn't stop it
Yeah they was laughing now I'm laughing 'cause I know they watching
I know you watching

This is a story nigga
How the manager cares to do the damage
Now niggas can't even afford me nigga
These rappers bore me nigga
Local rappers and trappers be tryna shoot me
They're testing me like it's Mōri nigga
Pouring up a 40 nigga, I'm getting drunk
Speeding, bobbing and weaving, I'm blasting it from the trunk
Who thought it be me, D-A-X on the TV not you
Used to tell me I wouldn't make it and now I got it
I predicted it would happen, I told you I was a prophet
I knew it was out of Pac and I knew I needed the work
The fact that you picked me last, the reason you felt it first
Know it hurts nigga, you wanna know what's fucking worse nigga?
That I gave your ass a change, tries to tell you in advance
Tried to give your ass a hand, now you tryna be my man
Fuck a fake nigga

Uhh, fuck a fake nigga, moving out the state nigga
Rappers want a feature, they ain't even tryna pay niggas
Day to day they play nigga, shoot and try to slay nigga
Had to make a way, California I fucking made nigga
Yeah, they be hating, I done heard it a lot
Saying once talking shit, wishing they had a spot
I ain't even fucking phased 'cause I know what it's work
They just mad 'cause you boy did it first

Where I'm from they never did it, I did it first
Rap game wasn't shit, I gave it birth
I told 'em niggas I would make it 'cause I wouldn't stop it
Yeah they was laughing now I'm laughing 'cause I know they watching
See where I'm from they never did it, I did it first
Rap game wasn't shit, I gave it birth
I told 'em niggas I would make it 'cause I wouldn't stop it
Yeah they was laughing now I'm laughing 'cause I know they watching
I know you watching

What doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger
We can't be beat
We can't be stopped
You can't beat someone who never quits
It's Dax (yeah!)
