First Place Lyrics by Richie B Unruly

Retracing Steps: The Transition

0

Hook
Where were you
You wasn't with me sharing first place
Im 21 im thinking how to get my first place
Been working hard or hardly working since my first days
Crawling in and walking up and running to get first Place
X2
Verse 1:
Have enough friends busy being pops
You think im working this hard to be busy being pop
Shake it up at the top when i pop
Up might come as a shock
Some think change makes you reincarnation of opps
But to few they knew this was coming
No flex zone when ear beats your drummers
So loud it beats like summer
Turn it down Rumeale I veto that even from my mother
So much times in my life I got thrown on back burners
Like im second fiddle I'm more like Nat Turner
Go ahead and sleep on me all day thats why im nocturnal
Im quick to branch out all my roots from the farthest to further
Dis one yah a fi di one weh neva believe in me
Tell me do wah mi nuh want and mi need fi be
Bruk pocket vampire suck out di chi from me
Yuh want mi spot mi spot soon change to weh di I need fi be
Yuh see mi family down deh a a easy street
Easy yute affi work too much pitney need fi eat
It bruk mi heart mi waan fi win and guh peacefully
Fus place ah wah mi need bad or theres no peace for me
Hook
Where were you
You wasn't with me sharing first place
Im 21 im thinking how to get my first place
Been working hard or hardly working since my first days
Crawling in and walking up and running to get first Place

Verse 2:
My Coming of age and its time i grew up
In a world of black and white all they see is Ku Klux
Just bhill
Im a rare breed you rarely see like two bucks
Pass the baton my hearts racing before they shoot us
Down
I thought ya'll wanted me to win with yall
Depression slit some wrists before they give handouts
For the winner's circle didn't know i been camped out
Left me out way back when of course it's different now
Witness to greatness
Seen too many winning from beginning
Never hated but the worst part i pretended
As if i never wanted it bad even worse my contingent
Wouldn't amount to sh*t if my vision ain't clear up
This one
Fi di one weh no one believe in dem
Breed life inna yuh dream It nuh need fi dead
Wi waan buy wi place and live good weh wi lay wi head
Fuss ting ah fuss place wah we need fi get
Pray to jah mi get a win
When mi hand dem just clasp
Run off the finish line bust sweat when mi hear di gunshot
When dem done chat dem act like seh dem bruk back fi you
Dat a when yuh just ask yuh just ask
Hook
Where were you
You wasn't with me sharing first place
Im 21 im thinking how to get my first place
Been working hard or hardly working since my first days
Crawling in and walking up and running to get first Place
