First Impressions

First impressions

Yeah, yeah

One look at me, probably throw the book at me

Tatted on my arms, neck, chest, like he couldn't be

Intellectual with words that I'm spittin'

Like I couldn't pronounce a single verb that was written

But one look could lead to bad impressions

So I'm just askin' that you close your eyes and listen

My inhibition is to switch into transition

Tradin' my tuition and to follow my ambition

Music in my ears helped raise me through them years

Guided all my fears and wiped away them tears

Family cheerin' through the midst of an depression

And they tell me that my music is what helps 'em find direction

Third world, this life's been a blessin'

I did it all myself, so I don't need suggestions

My first impression, I hope this music motivates

Quit hatin', spread love and congratulate

One look, one chance to make it worthwhile (One love)

One life to live, so I'ma go wild (One love)

Why profile? Every day a lesson (One love)

And let me introduce you to my first impression (One love)

Damn, it's been two years since I dropped my first impression

And two years later, ain't nobody pay attention

Swear that after my first tape, I had the worst case

Of writer's block, doubtin' why I rapped in the first place

Was 'bout to drop the next, had thirty songs that I stacked

I left my bag in the car, my laptop got jacked

With no backup drive, all that work down the drain

Man, that's three steps back and my morale's down again

Yup, and three months later, dropped some new shit I made

And that same day, my old fans were sayin' I changed

Worked at Best Buy for eight months, that shit was the worst

Then I quit, bought equipment, now my pockets is hurt

But I'm workin' my ass off tryna get out of the struggle

Trade my first-world problems for this third-world hustle

Two years ago, that look at me you saw at a glance

That was just my first impression, now it's my second chance, yeah

One look, one chance to make it worthwhile (One love)

One life to live, so I'ma go wild (One love)

Why profile? Every day a lesson (One love)

So let me introduce you to my first impression (One love)

It's been a minute since I dropped my tape back in the summer

I been workin' real hard, I kept my raps on the under

Everybody comin' up sayin' shoot me my videos

But I'm just tryna rap and bump me on my stereo

Real shit, a lot of y'all got me fucked up

My music comes first, but I fuck with y'all tough

I did a bunch of favors, but it's come to be enough

I'm only fuckin' with my team, so all you rappers outta luck

Go do your own shit, game up what I learned

Read up some new shit, everything I've earned

Engineer, mixdown, shootin' my own shit

Produced by myself and for the people I'm cool with

But that's a lie, you ain't been what I went through

I came in broke, but now I'm stackin', I been cool

I guess it changes when you good but you nameless

I'm just tryna be my damn self and be greatness

One look, one chance to make it worthwhile (One love)

One life to live, so I'ma go wild (One love)

Why profile? Every day a lesson (One love)

And let me introduce you to my first impression (One love)
