Day One
Dj Esco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just fucked up the whole check on my Rollie
You better come at me correct cause you don't know me
A half a million round my neck, I'm still the old me
I'm on that sour, nigga, I ain't movin slowly
Hey! Hey! I got that check on me, I've been like that from day 1
I keep my niggas with me, I've been like that from day 1
I drive the newest whips, I've been like that from day 1
I made that gwala flip, I've been like that from day 1
I'm on promethazine, my coupe the color Akon
I got my hoodie on, ain't goin not like Trayvon
I'm on my hustle, since a young I learned to stay down
I got young Nino with me and he shoot up playgrounds
Put VVS's and my watch is presidential
If I fuck yo bitch you tell me can you keep it confidential?
Ain't no pressure on my presidents, these Franklins are official
And my coupe is so official, riding round with all my pistols
30 round that clip from since the day 1
I add-on all my whips, I never trade one
I'm doing 100 miles i'm on the streets and I ain't racin'
I drive the most expensive cars
That's very fast and very spacious
Aye look at these niggas, they all shooters
We came from the bottom, we eat noodles
Very bad bitches on my radar
You are not a real nigga, nigga you's a hater

Cuban link i'm rockin' cost two hunned (Shit two hunned)
Gas prices high, Exxon (Gas!)
All white foreigns, make em hate some (They hate!)
Designer clothes, look like I shop in London
I got that yellow AP, different from my old one
You talk that plug talk but nigga you don't know one (Trippin)
I'm 100 dawg, I stand out from no one
Bought a brick from me, I sold him a fake one (finesse)
I take so many, been like that from day 1
Up off with them Cubans and them Haitians
I fuck with them gangstas and them killers
I know bitches realer than you niggas
I know the streets gon be the streets (I do)
Fuck niggas don't deserve to eat (they don't)
And it been that day since day 1 (day 1)




If a nigga get wrong I'mma spray some
100 round draw, I look like fresh I'm king
