First Light Of The Day
Geto Boys Lyrics

Step out on my corner with my box of rocks
I'm starting my day as a drug dealer, ready to sell my merchandise.

Drama covers my hood from blocks and blocks
My neighborhood is filled with constant tension and conflict.

See my homie that I hang with
I spot my friend who I spend time with.

Hit him up with the deuce thumb thang shit
I greet him with a gesture, showing our camaraderie.

Back then it came with the love and niggas wasn't trippin over scratch
In the past, we freely shared our profits and weren't concerned about money.

Cause we took turns and we both stacked stacks
We alternated selling drugs and accumulated wealth together.

And if you had a customer you had him for life
Once someone became a frequent buyer, they remained loyal to you.

Cause Brad the true hustler granted you right
Brad, who was an expert in the drug trade, authorized your privileges.

Cause if you gonna pack leaves then you got to get along
If you're involved in illegal activities, you must cooperate and maintain harmony.

And he who disagrees then got to get him gone
Anyone who opposes or causes trouble needs to be eliminated.

Cause if you start to get paid the niggas want to flex
When you start making money, others become envious.

And ain't no squabbling these days some niggas brought the tech
Nowadays, conflicts escalate quickly and some people carry firearms.

And when they find you they sending you to immortal ground
If they catch you, they will kill you and you won't come back to life.

And ain't no coming back from that shit you going down
There's no chance of returning or escaping the consequences.

Now you history with the quickness cause you was
You're quickly erased from existence because you were

fuckin up the business
ruining the operations and reputation.

Now what a way to end a friendship should've finished
It's a terrible way to conclude a friendship, it should've been resolved.

Cause ain't no love for pause in this game
The drug trade doesn't have any room for hesitation or mercy.

Nigga I'm relentless leaving your moms in the pain
I show no mercy, causing your mother heartache and suffering.

If your ass had to get got then I got your ass
If you were targeted and needed to be taken care of, I would take care of it.

Rude boy mishandled the stock so I popped your ass
A disrespectful individual mismanaged the drugs, so I killed them.

I'm so for doe that my mind flows in it for life
I'm so focused on money that I'm deeply invested in it for life.

That I'm down to let my mind go get it tonight
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to acquire it tonight.

No understanding when I'm hustling
There's no room for empathy or comprehension while I engage in illegal activities.

Because in life all I understood was hustling cause I was struggling
Due to my difficult circumstances, the only thing I comprehended in life was hustling.

Muscling anything in the way
I forcefully overcome any obstacles in my path.

Of me seeing first motherfuckin light of the day
I strive to achieve success and see the first light of each day.

My pockets ain't hurting that's for certain
My financial situation is secure, there's no doubt about it.

You see a broke muthafucker it's a burden
When you encounter someone who's financially struggling, it becomes a burden.

I'm the first muthafucker on the block for the cheese
I'm the initial person on the block selling drugs for profit.

And I'm the last muthafucker to leave
I stay until the end, ensuring I maximize my sales and profits.

There was some niggas selling dope down the street I know
I was aware of some individuals selling drugs nearby.

You make a left they on the right third white house from the liquor store
If you turn left, they reside on the right side, third house painted white, close to the liquor store.

You can't miss it cause they be cappin
It's easy to identify them because they engage in criminal activities.

Pretty cars in the yard
They have attractive cars parked in their property.

Walkie talkies and security guards
They have walkie talkies and personnel protecting their operation.

Them muthafuckers had money out the ass and it was evident
Those guys had a significant amount of money, and it was clearly visible.

By the way they dressed and flashed
It was apparent through their extravagant clothing and displays of wealth.

Meanwhile I'm on the outside looking in
I am observing from a position of not belonging or being involved.

I got to get them mutha fuckers how can I win
I have to figure out how to defeat and surpass them.

Three a.m. coming from the club caught the pussies
At 3 a.m., while returning from the nightclub, we encountered those individuals.

Me and four niggas hiding in the bushes
Me and four associates were concealing ourselves in the bushes.

Jumped out like the jumpout boys with them glocks and gauges
We suddenly emerged, appearing like law enforcement executing a raid, armed with guns and explosives.

(whew) You should've saw them niggas faces
They were shocked and terrified when they witnessed our actions.

Bitches get butt naked is what I ordered
I commanded the women present to undress completely.

Open the door get on the floor they was slaughtered
We entered the property, and once inside, we ruthlessly killed them.

Cause once inside we didn't need em
As soon as we gained access, the individuals become dispensable.

We knew where the scratch was located six months before we raided
We had advance knowledge of where they stored their money, six months prior to the robbery.

And ain't feel nothing for their family
We had no empathy or sympathy towards their relatives.

Cause in this life you take the bitter with the sweet or your gambling
In the criminal lifestyle, you have to accept both positive and negative aspects, otherwise, you're taking a risk.

Nigga I'm busting anything in the way
I'm prepared to use violence against anything obstructing me.

Of me seeing first muthafuckin light of the day
I'll eliminate any obstacles that hinder me from achieving success each day.

Now you can say what you want about my persona
You're free to express your opinions about my personality.

But don't let me hear you or I'm gon' freak you out like Madonna
However, if I overhear you, I will aggressively confront you, just like Madonna would respond.

Sneak up on put my gat to your stomach squeeze the trigga
I'll stealthily approach you, point my gun at your stomach, and pull the trigger.

So close them eyes cause youse a dead ass nigga
Prepare to die because you're a doomed individual.

Motherfuckers say I'm wrong because I feel this way
Some people criticize me because of my beliefs and emotions.

But my environment taught me how to deal this way
My surroundings have influenced me to handle situations in this manner.

And if I kill this way then that's the way I got to go
If I resort to killing, then I must accept the consequences of that path.

Cause everything you reap in life you got to sow
Every action has consequences, and you must face the repercussions.

But I don't care about the paid down the road from a fool
I have no concern for the rewards that may come in the future from a foolish person.

I'm living for today but if tomorrow comes cool nigga
I prioritize living in the present, but if tomorrow arrives, it's fine.

If you think you want to meddle with this
If you believe you can interfere with my affairs,

Bring your ass to the square and we can settle this shit
Come to the designated location, and we can resolve this conflict.

I'm going pop pop pop til your head start swelling
I'll shoot repeatedly until your head begins to swell.

Pop pop pop till your ass start smelling
I'll continue shooting until your dead body starts to decompose.

You cried when your grandma died that was real
Your genuine emotions were evident when your grandmother passed away.

But you ain't got to cry no more you going to see her
But there's no need to cry anymore, as you'll soon join her.

And newcomers get dealt with
New individuals who pose a threat are swiftly taken care of.

Cause you can't get paid if you ain't part of my clique nigga
If you're not part of my close-knit group, you won't receive any financial gains.

I'm bustin anything in the way
I'm willing to use violence against anything obstructing me.

Of me seeing first muthafuckin light of the day
I won't let anything stand in my way of achieving success every day.
