Lyrics The 1st Time - Jamo Gang, DJ Premier, Ras Kass

The 1st Time

Preemo
Jamo
RIP Guru
And I said it the first time
And I said it the first time
Mic check, mic check, one-two, one-two
Like a Biz Markie song, is this thing on?
I battled Godzilla and dissed King Kong
Then pull out a handgun that’s six feet long
Mumble rappers getting paid, what they hitting for?
We the best, cut a check, start a bidding war
We define premier, we prime-time, combine crimes
Beats and rhymed lines (And I said it the first time), huh
Hang in there like Aaron Hernandez
She got a dope personality if you can get to it
'Cause screw it, can’t even get near love
She on train fully immersed in her earbuds
Or speed walking, stop it, Steve Hawkin'
Bro paralyzed, so how is he even talking?
I don’t know
It ain’t a Jamo Gang gig, then I don’t show
Yo, they pass the torch, I live a dream like Vanilla Sky
Been vilified and criticized, but still alive
Oedipus complex from Mother Earth, the son immersed
King of the underdogs, battle-scarred for what it’s worth
Uh, but what do I know?
I’m just a wino
A vicious cycle, spotted out like Vitiligo, Michael
I’m auto rifle, then not a typo
Hydro smoking ninety-nine defined around the time of my life
They call me '57
Yeah, ain’t nothing new we down with the goat (Preem)
Yeah, Jamo juggling jugulars going right for their throat
And I quote, we down with Atmosphere and the fact is clear
There’s no one on a level this elevated, one
Two, three and to the four
In the corner of the bar started peeing on the floor
Break my neck trying to peep the score
But that’s not a TV, that’s the pizza warmer
I was with your mom, you should call her soon
Fit your whole universe in my laundry room
Y’all pussy, you probably got a mouse in your mouth
You don’t come out of your house (And I said it the first time)
I talk my shit, I fly this frisbee
Lost in the mix of that Irish whiskey
I just spent a little time in your city
But I hit decline 'cause I was kind of busy
You can probably find me at the back of the line
I always show up late and I don’t even know why
It doesn’t matter, I’ma be twenty minutes behind
Don’t even ask me 'bout it (And I said it the first time)
Yeah, 'til the second my soul pass on
I’m trying to see in the future like Donnie Darko
When his man man with a mask on
If the planet stops spinning, I spit this last song
Inside my vision, the limited in this rare form
Half gone like a chemtrail
We don’t go together like a bucket of friend chicken and fresh kale
I’m half a train to the track riding the left rail
Y’all half a brain when you rap and decide your pen fail
Men frail, let’s sail or wait until the sun set on this boat
I stay woke like I sniffed a crystal meth rail
Wash it down with Starbucks tall cup, chalk up
And deadlift these stars, fuck
You won’t find truth in your Apple Watch
It’s possible what I say in popular or profitable
Coach the game, Hayden Fox
So pay your racist cops
Front row for the apocalypse that we pay to watch
And I said it the first time
