FIRST PLACE - Peter James

Hook:

Hate is all around me, start to fight off all these demons

Never been a killer, but no need to give me reason

Taking all the steps, we start to treat it like a staircase

Money on the counter, start to make you feel like first place

Hate is all around me, start to fight off all these demons

Never been a killer, but no need to give me reason

Working every night and no, they wouldn’t understand it

Fuck a nine to five, I’m never taking what they handing

Money is your motivator, mine is something greater

Put a bullet to my head, it couldn’t penetrate the layers

I got nothing left to lose, I’m wide awake when you hit snooze

You couldn’t understand it better ‘less you’re walking in these shoes

Pre-Chorus:

Prayers are with us or against us

Thought we were defenseless

The D is on our back

So who the fuck can go against us

I never thought I’d do it

But just look at what we’re doing

Man, the city on the come up

When we come up from the ruins

Still the;

Taking all the steps, we start to treat it like a staircase

Money on the counter, start to make you feel like first place

Focused on the vision, open eyes or fail the mission

Wishing everyone who doubted me to come back for revision

Distance, run it like a marathon, we step it up and stepping on

The shoes of competition, never listen to the voice of pawns

A bullet in your skull, I take a shot and risk it all

I’m callin' everyone involved, to strap it up or get dissolved

Pre-Chorus:

Prayers are with us or against us

Thought we were defenseless

The D is on our back

So who the fuck can go against us

I never thought I’d do it

But just look at what we’re doing

Man, the city on the come up

When we come up from the ruins

Still the;

We never had a lot to gain

But the money and the power will make a change

Make a name, everyday I wake up and I take the pain

Believe me, cause I ain’t the same

Break ties, never felt a thing

Tell lies and I’ll say the same

Treat me with same respect, I’ll break my neck

To prove that brudduh, I’ll split the check.

One catch

Don’t come to me with some bullshit

I rode that wave, no ocean

You sold your soul, you hopeless

I’ll make my name with dope shit

We start to feel like first place

You see me win that’s worst case

Only time will care

Run it like a marathon, bullet in the air
