First love
0-24 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Music was my first love
The one that never left me
And hip-hop was there
When the weight of life was hefty
Pac taught me to keep my head up
Learned flow from Biggie's diction
Nas said The World is mine
And it's become My Addiction
Music was my first love
Yeah it's the one that saved me
Took me at my lowest point
And literally it raised me
Turned me to a Renegade
Like Eminem and Jay Z
Cause me without music is like
Bone Thugs without Krayzie
I bought A License To Ill
When I was 13
Just a youngin' with his headphones
Head full of dreams
Bobbin' my head to the Clan
Had me ready for C.R.E.A.M
Feel like I'm Max
I'm the king of the Wild Things
Since I'm here, it must be my
Be my moment to sing
Let me be clear
This ain't Nothin' But A G Thang
That "G" stands for Griffey
I go harder than his swing
Heard the beat and felt like Sugar Ray
Steppin' in the ring
Cause music was my first love
The one that never left me
And hip-hop was there
When the weight of life was hefty
Pac taught me to keep my head up
Learned flow from Biggie's diction
Nas said The World is mine
And it's become My Addiction
Music was my first love
Yeah it's the one that saved me
Took me at my lowest point
And literally it raised me
Turned me to a Renegade
Like Eminem and Jay Z
Cause me without music is like
Music is my high
Music's how I get by
Music is my high
Music's how I get by
Music is my high
Music's how I get by
Music is my high
It's how I get by
I got Marley on the tee
Bumpin' Brother Ali
Tellin' me I got my Own Light
So come out and see
But I'm all alone in this Mansion
With music as my Therapy
I'm just the Man in the Mirror
Lookin' for some clarity
Tryna Find A Balance between
You and the Sunshine
It's time to Lace Up
I gotta go and get mine
In The End just tryna
Find Somewhere I Belong
So I put my headphones in
And hit replay on this song
Cause music was my first love
The one that never left me
And hip-hop was there
When the weight of life was hefty
Pac taught me to keep my head up
Learned flow from Biggie's diction
Nas said The World is mine
And it's become My Addiction
Music was my first love
Yeah it's the one that saved me
Took me at my lowest point
And literally it raised me
Turned me to a Renegade
Like Eminem and Jay Z
Cause me without music is like
Bone Thugs without Krayzie
Yeah, she was my first love
Music was my first love
Music is my high
Music's how I get by




Music is my high
It's how I get by

우리에게 있어서는 전설적인 여성 힙합 그룹이었지... 설령 3인조가 소리소문없이 해체되서 각자 다른길을 가서 잘 살고 있는가하면 이런 보기가 힘든 영상들이 있는 이상은 여전히 우리 마음속에 남아있는 절대적인 그룹이다... 그런의미에서 0-24 멤버들에게 경의를 표합니다!

79년생. 삶에 찌들려 조금씩 지쳐가다가...
문득 생각나서 들렀다가 에너지 충전하고 갑니다 고맙습니다
오투포 참 좋아했어요^^

JANG MOON

원래 힙합하던 애들이라 99년땐 몰랐는데 지금 보니
외모랑 실력들이 미쳤어

I listened to this when I was 6 years old in Korea and I've been searching for this song for SO long. So good :D

reesemalo

I wish they were on spotify :(

템비TemB

Their company is defunct, so it's hard for their songs to be on Spotify...

AHIMO TUV

오투포가 엄청 대박곡은 없어도 은근히 중박곡은 여러곡 되는듯

baby waxxup

요즘과 같은 봄날에 들으면 진짜 좋은..

아하완공

오투포 뒤집어 정말 테이프 늘어지게 들었음. 일집에 버릴 곡이 없음 정말 좋은 노래만 있었는데ㅋ 블라인드 페이스까지 열심히 들었던 기억이 나네요.
