First Things First

Lyrics

[Intro: Miguel] Chka, chka-chka-chka-chka-chka Heh, heh, first things first... [Chorus: Miguel & Blu] Ain't tryna game you up so, girl, I'll be straight First things first Don't want to mess it up before it's too late First things first My name is... (It's young Blu) And you are...? (Okay) I'd like to get to know you if it's okay First things first Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do (First things first) You gotta tell me what I'm s'posed to do Let me know just what I'm s'posed to do (First things first) My name is... (It's young Blu) And you are...? (Okay) I'd like to get to know you if it's okay [Verse 1: Blu] See it's so many ways I can approach you I can either start off like, "'Scuse me, miss" But shit, that's too old school I could flow to you, but that's too cliché Plus I don't bust to bust nuts, I bust over beat breaks I could be honest with you and tell you I'm a cheapskate But, you probably seen me sharing drinks with my DJ So, frontin' like I got chips is out the question And actin' like my Benz is in the shop is outdated And I ain't into playing games Plus I already hate them fake ballers that be always dropping names And yeah, I'm in the game but, if I say I rap You'll be looking for my Range, gold chains and my strap And I can act conscious, but if we talk politics You'll notice that I'm out of the loop, 'cause I don't follow it I rock fitted caps, kufis ain't for Blu, see I eat red meat 'cause tofu don't move me And women, I confuse 'em, but that's for later on And the only way to tell you is to say it in these songs Like "darling, you a doll, don't confuse it with sexual But don't think I don't think of having sex with you I'm trying to get next to you, but you being rude In the club with ya guns out, shooting down fools" She shot down one, and shot down two Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do? It's like [Chorus: Miguel & Blu] Ain't tryna game you up so, girl, I'll be straight First things first Don't want to mess it up before it's too late First things first My name is... (It's young Blu) And you are...? (Okay) I'd like to get to know you if it's okay First things first Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do (First things first) You gotta tell me what I'm s'posed to do Let me know just what I'm s'posed to do (First things first) My name is... (It's young Blu) And you are...? (Okay) I'd like to get to know you if it's okay [Verse 2: Blu] Now, don't get it twisted, broke niggas need love too And underground rappers like to chill at the club too I wanna get buzzed, get drunk and get crunk Get a chick to kick it with when I'm feeling fucked up, but Women be mentioning ya' whips and your chains So I flip it like "Slaves come with whips and chains We gotta liberate," but before I could mention my name They be talking to the nigga with the keys to the Range And I can't even compete with these ballers tryna get at you 'Cause I ain't even got enough cheese to try to match dude Nor do I got a flat to bring you back to But, I can roll up a blunt, try to relax you Probably make you laugh when you mad in a bad mood Ask a few questions by caressing your statue 'Cause no, I ain't got cornrows or hood tattoos But, I can fuck up any track that I rap to I, know it's irrelevant, but rap is my profession And just 'cause I'm a gentleman don't mean I'm into settling I spend most my time on the grind, but I ain't peddlin' rocks Or tryna sign to the Roc, I'm tryna meddle in my own business So tell your girls mind they own business And I would give you my digits, but see, my phone isn't Accepting calls 'til the bills get paid Now you say you want the real, but it's the real I'm saying So what the deal? [Chorus: Miguel & Blu] Ain't tryna game you up, so, girl, I'll be straight First things first Don't want to mess it up before it's too late First things first My name is... (It's young Blu) And you are...? (Okay) I'd like to get to know you if it's okay If it's okay with you... uh If it's okay with you... uh If it's okay with y...
