B .I .G.
Coming from a city
where bullets turn bros into souls
Who knew from the concrete
that a rose had a rose?
Good girls stop being good
when I turn them into hoes
Dreams stop being dreams
when I turn them into ghosts
Big was the first one that had it,
then
I saw a nice chain,
man that was ill -matic
Then I saw Kanye's hanging
from his gold necklace, then
Ye gave me mine,
I'll show you my work ethic
Mom had that hoopty that
she ran in the dirt,
used to pick me up from school,
man, right after work
Now she rollin' up in that caddy
like she comin' to church,
she ask why I rock all this gold,
cause I'm comin' in first
Got the streets behind me
like I was starin' in the rearview,
used to have to take showers
standin' in the middle
Now I'm in the penthouse,
look at what Emile do
Lookin' in the mirror
and I'm still you, I'm still you
Got my first chain
Like I got my first chain, I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first chain,
I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first chain
B -B -Big was the first one to have it
Now Jacob the jeweler
benefit from my habits
I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first chain,
I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first
This is what it's all about
with this rap stuff
I can say I never been punked,
robbed, or smacked up
I can say I've been chased,
jumped, or backed up
I learned to patch it up
and get past it
The new 2 be actin' 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 me
I had the big gold boat
And cause it was those gangstas
That bonus, that coach,
and those projects
Shiny shit on they necks
Making both of my eyes sweat
It got in my bones
Now I'm coppin' stones
Sorry Sierra Leone
One day we'll right the wrongs
18 karat go cuban on
not too short not too wide not too long
My penta defensive in the truest form
Platinum gold rose gold
what you want?
I've got my first chain
Go cuban like I got my first chain.
I be stuntin stuntin like I got my first chain
I be stuntin stuntin like
I got my first chain
B was the first one that had it
then
I saw a nice chain man.
That was ill medics
Stuntin', stuntin' like I got my first chain
I be stuntin', stuntin' like I got my first the highway to heaven,
look at all the tolls I paid
I done gave my city drive
all the roads I paved
No matter which way I turn,
things go my way
I'm rockin' chains every day,
so you know I slave
Even when I'm just walkin' round the crib
To remind me of everything
that we did
Look up in the mirror,
chain, only thing lyin'
No heroes where I'm from,
bullets, only thing flyin'
I know the higher the goal,
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 a bailout bill
Trap house built brick by brick,
pay dues on dues
FF good, you know I'm rep
pin' crew on crew
Stack bills on bills till my backyard's
got pools on pools
Girls on girls, lingerie and moulin rouge
God damn,
I think I'm gon' OD off this
Asparagus and bread and pasta,
need a doctor
I've been dodgin' shady
hoops and rainy days
It's like I got a built -in Doppler
And it's a shame, a f***in' shame
I don't remember my first love
or my first time prayin'
But remember my first s***s
and the first time she came
It almost felt as good
as when I got my first chain
Got my first chain
When I got my first chain,
I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first chain,
I be stuntin' Stuntin' like I
got my first chain
Jay -Z taught me money and the day
Came from the streets,
headed to the Hall of Fame
and I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first chain,
I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first chain
It's such a wonderful thing
to see the end of all things
N****s and b****es,
you ain't jukin' where you at
I got my mind, it's on me
A couple others in dream
s would've seen me
My n****s in the drip
About two months in a week's time
Went from feeling hellish to golly
with limit lime shine
Now how the f*** can I chill now
Kinda think I'm dope,
you see this piece that I own now
How sick is the rope,
takin' life for what it is
A troublesome jig, who throws bits?
From time to time, it's the weather
Things switch up, people trip up
The money come down,
then climb up,
but where they come again?
The most creepin', deceivin',
man, this game schemin'
Sayin' that you love me, I surely hope,
and if you don't
Motherfuck that sometimes,
so dead it, shred it
Younger, lost in the night,
I'm so ready to let it go
My life is awesome,
I'm goin' super dead right now
But I'm awesome, I'm awesome
Whoever has a bad thought,
don't know the God
Cause when I leave this book,
you all gon' wish you knew the God
Gon' be too late,
but the songs will evolve
Just know this fact, you were all wrong
Now watch me do my silly dance,
not really a dance,
more like a frantic signing
off with a crotch grab
Yeah, well hey, perfect
Thank you man for letting
me get on this record,
Sean, you the coolest
Good music forever, understand?
Yum
I'm right
