First Things First

Ayo its Sam motherfucker, now welcome to the tape
If its been a long time, then sorry for the wait
If you're just tunin in, then welcome to the show
But first things first, there's some things that you should know
I don't pull punches & I speak from the heart
I do a lot of dumb shit, but I think I'm pretty smart
I'm hip hoppin' now, but I was raised off of rock
So you might hear a difference in the way that I talk
Now listen up & you could learn a couple things
Have a few laughs, we’ll share a couple drinks
Sound good to you? Cause it sounds good to me
So please adjust the volume on the mp3
I made some of these beats, I stole a few others
Don't think of it like that though, think of em as covers
Payin homage to the folks that kept me honest
I'll remember you forever, that’s a promise
Hopefully I'll inspire someone else
Keep the fire alive as the day is runnin' out
Its in the dark that we need it the most
Even though I tend to brag, and been known to boast
This is real life music when it gets down to it
It ain't about sales & it ain't about plaques
Its bigger than all that, its bigger than just rap
So I'm a ask you one time: where the fuck ya’ll at??
