First Born
[Intro: Dillmatic]
Yo
[Verse 1: Dillmatic]
Dear son, I'm spittin' this before you fresh out
If I said I was blessed before, man, let's get in-depth, now (ISO)
Gimme a sec, yo, I gotta step out (Hold on, hold on)
The moment we saw the ultrasound, my heart skipped a step, wow
The beauty of creation, I seen too much, the wonder how
It feel to take your first breath for you, I would never double down (Now)
That word would be my truce to make your mother proud (It was)
Where we grew up, it was like summer house
I ain't raisе you anywhere they could run you down
Just playgrounds, no spray grounds
Unlеss it's a backpack you leavin' out the front door with
In the moments I'm recordin' it
Got to the point where we affordin' it
So I'm doin' more with it than just scornin' it (Doin' more)
Finally found Innamose and I'm sourcin' in
If then left you, then why you forcin' it? (Why?)
Ain't missin' no meals, so I'm coursin' it
Get off your high horse, I'm still 'portionate (Dior)
It took T&E, but now you seein' the coordinates (Seein')
It's more of a connection with you, my boy, than I ever had (More)
Proudest I ever been, let's just call it that (Call it that)
More of a spade from a spade, they ain't cardin' that (They can't)
Prolly ask why you go hard in rap, it's bigger than me
That's why I go hard with rap, like face the harder truth
What I'm supposed to really?
Not be vulnerable?
You rather me dishonorable just 'cause you don't know another part of you
Uncover layers like bakers, man, you feeled us comin' from a young savior
Make it look easy, when really, it get harder, [?]
This won't be hard to do, and it won't be hard for you
'Cause I put that on Alice and you won't have to wonder in this land what your Dad would do
Yeah, when it come to you
I heard I gotta stay strong in the times, your mother need some lovin' too
Just makin' sure that she comfortable (Uh huh)
Thinkin' one day, I'll say, that's my son for you
Anything you need, I'll get it done for you
That's why I'm workin' while I’m off of the glory, we gone run into, just run it, through, yeah
[Chorus: Dillmatic]
First born, first born
I seen myself in you when I see you goin' far, so
First born, first born
I seen myself in you when I see you goin' far, soldiers
Hold my finger, don't let go
Been waitin' on this for so long, so
[Verse 2: ConchezYout]
Yo
My baby boy, you bring me joy like no other
If it’s anything for you, just know that I got you covered
When I find out the good news, I couldn't wait to tell my brothers
Kiss your mother on the forehead, and I told her that I love her
We was lovers fore you came into this world
And now that you here now, next we prayin' for a girl (Uh-huh)
To give you a baby sis, with a head full of curls
Just know Daddy goin' hard for everything he deserve
Your mother push you out, with barely no epidural
You came a month early, which 'hat is kinda concern
But everything that happens is really a lesson learn
Don't you ever rush a thing, just make sure you wait your turn
We was raised in the hood but I'm takin' you to the 'burbs
Where we could sit and laugh and play and just watch the birds
But I know that God got you, our blessings 'ready confirm
From the heavens to this Earth, you became our firstborn
I can't wait to take you on stage whenever we perform
It don't matter what's the weather, I'll pull up in any storm for you
Don't you ever be afraid to tell your Daddy, yeah, what's wrong with you
Don't you ever touch or take anything that don't belong to you
This a song for you
I do this all for you
You make me vulnerable
I'm was just doin' what I was born to do
Every moment I get, I be recordin' you
Just listen to this verse just like an Audible, my son, Ami
[Chorus: Dillmatic]
First born, first born
I seen myself in you when I see you goin' far, so
First born, first born
I seen myself in you when I see you goin' far, soldiers
Hold my finger, don't let go
Been waitin' on this for so long, so
