First Cut (feat. Coka Rican)

Rick, Rick, Rick, Rick, Rick, and Thaddeus on the beat That first cut be the deepest, gotta give it time to heal Damn it still hurt, even though I seen it coming I just know next time, I'ma listen to my stomach Lord knows I did wrong, but sometimes I had to With my back against the wall, everything it get clearer For you to see who really in your corner, who pretending I'm really in NwM til the finish, I admit it And I couldn't come home, if my pockets was still empty Me and bro made a pact, to fly above the pigeons To never break code, most of you niggas wouldn't get it Niggas do this for show, I talk about it cause I live it Lord knows if you fake, you get exposed That's how it is Just how it is Grown up in the inner city, in other words the ghetto Where no one will show you pity, but I'ma carry the weight like I'm a drug mule But if we talkin them drugs? I'm the one that's gon' sell it to you If you ain't known to ride, can't ride with me They the ones that tell it, so I stay around still Cause like Bishop, friends get jealous. Some people better in the hood like Mello I had to get my mind right, I thought a gun was the only way to settle When I was trapping, I was really settling I lost sight of the picture, cause how much money was coming in Picking up the ball, where I left it never doubling My back was against the wall, they kicked me when I was down But I stayed humble, God told me my time coming So protect yourself from snakes, cause you know how the pain feel That first cut be the deepest, gotta give it time to heal Damn still hurt, even though I seen it coming I just know next time, I'ma listen to my stomach Lord knows I did wrong, but sometimes I had to With my back against the wall, everything it get clearer For you to see who really in your corner, who pretending I'm really in NwM til the finish, I admit it And I couldn't come home, and my pockets was still empty Me and bro made a pact, to fly above the pigeons To never break code, most of you niggas wouldn't get it Niggas do this for show, I talk about it cause I live it Lord knows if you fake, you get exposed, that's how it is Back against the wall, ten toes on the ground Boys used to tell me kill em all, with my soul feeling down Tryna put aside my pride, hide the pain with a smile Niggas say they down to ride, next day they throw the towel They was throwing red flags, I was blind to the signs Now my heart broken, I'm sad, hope it heals over time When you flexing, they be mad, you get killed tryna shine I would rather chase a bag, I keep cash on my mind Grew up in the trenches, show no love and never trust And I knew I seen it coming, man I felt it on my guts But that first cut be the deepest, seen the blood and cleaned it up Molly meet the aquafina, more than water in my cup Niggas change like transformers, lie, say they in your corner Protect myself from demons, cause it's hard to ignore em That first cut be the deepest, gotta give it time to heal Damn it still hurt, even though I seen it coming I just know next time, I'ma listen to my stomach Lord knows I did wrong, but sometimes I had to With my back against the wall, everything it get clearer For you to see who really in your corner, who pretended I'm really in NwM til the finish, I admit it And I couldn't come home if my pockets was still empty Me and bro made a pact, to fly above the pigeons To never break code, most of you niggas wouldn't get it Niggas do this for show, I talk about it cause I live it Lord knows if you fake, you get exposed, that's how it is
