First Things First

First things first
I did not believe
In my own self
You cannot compete
Like you're doped out
Niggas obsolete
And I am cooler than the loss of heat
Often speak sleeping on my old shelf

Cause I lie on these books
Ride or die on these books
They don't wanna hear my talent like I yodel
And I was up in a draught
With the father of many daughters
Dig a circle for this water
O well
Niggas scared of who I am becoming
My father had to be 50 to learn to keep it 100
When you play with matches just know you gon make a flame
Cut off all attachments like a c-sec
Shit's about to be lit
I would try to follow but that's something I would regret
Now I'm on fire and I'm flier than a leaflet
Head under the water like I jumped into the deep end
Of the coral reef and I'm bleeding
If one man's trash is another man's treasure
One man's treasure is another man's trash
One man's change is another man's cash
One word changes another man

I did not believe
In my own self
You cannot compete
Like you're doped out
Niggas obsolete
And I am cooler than the loss of heat
Often speak sleeping on my old shelf

Now encyclopedias are in my dreams of information
Tryna grow my knowledge like my mind has inflammation
It's a locked down
I was locked up in a nation
Call a doctor cause I obviously caught another case of
I be dressed to kill
I'm wearing Freddy wearing Jason
Getting ready to triangulate attacks on the adjacent
Judge on a soccer pitch dawg I'm just playing
You be judgmental attacking like just plaintiff
I'm pretty sure that I'm the offspring of Samson
Awfully dancing
With women hopping and prancing
And offering advances
And when I'm asking them what's popping they stopping and laughing
Or they in a greater depression than stocks when they crashing
This ain't the future that I wanted to happen
And now I feel like I'm disturbing the world
Like it's a continent clapping
Consonant madness they copping a whip
Or copying anger we'll never know it
Acting like cops when they crashing
My punchlines leave a bruise too
Raising red flags like a nigga work for YouTube
Damn that nigga is a motherfucking Bluetooth
And I got the Saturday off like I'm a Jew too

I did not believe
In my own self
You cannot compete
Like you're doped out
Niggas obsolete
And I am cooler than the loss of heat
Often speak sleeping on my old shelf
I did not believe
In my own self
You cannot compete
Like you're doped out
Niggas obsolete
And I am cooler than the loss of heat
Often speak sleeping on my old shelf

So I let it bumpty bump
I let it bumpty bump
I let it whooptie whoop
I let it whooptie whoop
I let it bumpty bump
I let it bumpty bump
I let it whooptie whoop
I let it whooptie whoop
