Letra de First Time - Nas

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 credits and you saw Large Pro

Or some decrepit club where DJ S&S had buzz

I stepped on the stage with imperfections, 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 records

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 (real rap shit, 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 (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 L.A. 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, N.W.A., what the fuck is this shit, kid?

I was goin' crazy
