1st Time You Say No Lyrics - No Sleep Til Houston - Paul Wall

Long live the trill, and death to all the fake 

The last of a dying breed how much can I take 

If I die tomorrow who gon' show up to my wake 

And lie to my gal tell her that I owe them all my cake 

My yard full of snakes, it's time to move around 

Or maybe I should pull out that mower chop em down 

I knew it when I pulled out that Bentley in the town 

I was looking for congrats all I got was mad frowns 

I stayed up in that line til I finally got my turn 

I hustled and prayed that the tables would turn 

I worked for what I got, every penny I done earned 

See I shared my hard times but I guess they not concerned 

I hustled and I grinded so it struck me as a problem 

They used to be my partners jealous turned them into gollum 

I guess I was naive to the lessons of the fallen 

They don't like it when you're shining boys hate it when you ballin

You know they hate to see you ballin, they rather you was broker than a joke 

See I made it from the bottom but they rather I was hanging from a rope 

I show alot of love and them favor weigh more than I can count 

But the first time you say no all the shit you said before don't count 

I put on for my crew, that was my objective 

I never show hate showing love was more effective 

Strangers think I owe them even though were not connected 

They looking for my flaws searching for em like detectives 

Jealousy and envy is something I expected 

But friends turning into me is something I neglected 

I can't please everybody that's what I dissected 

How can I put on for Texas if I never leave Texas 

My resume is long not to say quite impressive 

I could've been incarcerated freedom is a blessing 

These weak-minded fool get egged on like some breakfast 

But why would God bless you, you're out there living reckless 

Why these cowards threatened by another mans successes 

They smile in your face but when you leave they get aggressive 

Be honest with yourself they're ain't no need to embellish 

You can look them in the eye and in they heart they just jealous

I've learned a lot of game from the players that I've known 

And I've never understood how these haters still on 

I show them all love but they wanna do me wrong 

I try to show them game but they think they all grown 

I've made a few mistakes opportunities I've blown 

But I've asked for forgiveness for my sins I haved tolled 

I've flown around the world but there's no place like home 

Til you're home full of strangers and your neighbors all gone 

Unity these days is a virtue unknown 

There's room at the top but they rather be alone 

Somehow these boys got it twisted like a cone 

They think they know it all they'll learn it on their own 

I'm right here in my zone somewhere far away from them clones 

By myself all day posted up you already know 

Boys wishin that I was broker than the touch screen on their phone 

I gotta go out there and get it I can't sit at home and get stoned 

I'm gone.
