Nas - First Time lyrics

First time yeah, I think we gon' call
This one the First Time brucie B voice

First time you heard Nas
Was you earlin' on some gut rot liquor on 2-5
Or your big brother put you on like surprise
Hearing my hood described so vivid
You could see it by closing your eyes
Maybe it was the age or the letters I wrote
When jail letters were hope
You read the credit's and you saw Large Pro
Or some decrepit club where DJ S&S had buzz
I stеpped on the stage with impеrfections
I was messing up or her first time
Inside a Subaru
She just had a feud with her boo
They drivin'
He put on Barbeque and I got through to you
A dude who I saw
Rockin' FUBU outside Papaya's
Told me Halftime was timeless while
Armor All'n his tires
I was tryin' to juggle Columbia Records
While dealin' with what the country
Colombia jungles had left us
First time you heard of Nas
I pro'ly was under some pressure
Gun in the dresser while you was baggin'
Up in the kitchen playin' my record

Your first time was you hittin' the gas
In the whip with some ass
You never hit and she passed
Your real music test to know
If she into the ad-libs real rap shit, yeah

First time you heard Nas
You probably heard somebody say that
I pick bad beats but I pick bad freaks
Narratives they runnin' with
The classics they comin' with
Ain't fuckin' with what I recorded last week
For new guys
Hope this the first time you heard Nas
It's a special moment
A million reasons I wrote it
My shit'll get you re-centered 'cause you
Can tell where my soul is
The one I'm chosen, like Bryce and Bronny
Their Pop ball
So they had to do it, my dad did music
I had to pursue it
And spread my wings on the
Helipad like Troop did the truth is
A similar thing had happened to me
I listen to Wayne, I listen to
G, I listen to Dre, i listen to me
Since when did rap leave me
So suspended in air?
Since Kendrick entered the atmosphere, '09
I was there on La Cienega
My nigga from LA said there's
A nigga from Black Hippy
I was happy to just witness history

Like the first time I heard Slick Rick
How did you feel? (First time you heard Nas)
First time hearing Biggie
I'm like, "Who's this kid? Wow"
(First time you heard Nas) when I heard Pac
That was on that song with, uh
Digital Underground like
(First time you heard Nas)
Yeah, that was crazy
I really hope that this your first time

It's somethin' bout
First time hearing your favorite artist
Or they become to be your favorite artist
After like a long time or
Or it's instantaneous like
I know when the first time
I heard Michael Jackson, marvin Gaye
Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder
Like, NWA, what the fuck is this shit, kid?
I was goin' crazy
