First Things First Lyrics - Stormzy

Like, alright, first things first, I've been putting in the work 

I'm a rebel with a cause (with a cause) 

Had problems with the fam 

I had problems with the gang 

But I put that shit on pause (put that shit on pause) 

I've been gone for a while but I saw you niggas smile 

When I cancelled all my tours (little pussies) 

Someone tell 'em that I'm back 

I don't never ever slack, grab my gun and go to war (boy) 

I got brothers up in jail, going mad up in their cells 

When you hear me, bang your doors (bang your doors) 

Niggas moving chatty, someone tell them that I'm scatty 

Bro, I'll pull up uninsured like (skkkkkrrr) 

Running through my strip, rappers jumping on my dick 

Just to build up a rapport (it's embarrassing) 

I can tell them man are bitter 

But they're begging it on Twitter, man, I swear I'm so appalled 

Before he takes a shot, I'll shoot him first (shoot him first) 

And poor mum, we was going through her purse (through her purse) 

We were doing road and doing church 

Looked the devil in his face like motherfucker, do your worst 

Still here tryna' find another blessing 

I'm over-loyal man I'll ride for what I'm repping 

Dark times niggas dying in recession 

You was fighting with your girl when I was fighting my depression, wait 

Okay 

Alright, first things first, coulda put you in a hearse 

Man, I gave you boys a lifeline (lifeline) 

I was scrolling through my tweets, had Adele up on repeat 

And saw a madness on my timeline (on my timeline) 

LBC's tryna' black ball me 

And tryna' blame your boy for knife crime (like what?) 

I don't use a shank, I got money in the bank 

Man, I'd rather do a drive by (dickheads) 

Mad, mad demons in my thoughts 

Young Stormz wasn't ready for the limelight (he wasn't ready) 

Took a little break from the game, started praying 

Man, I had to get my mind right (started praying) 

All black clothes till I shine bright 

Full beams fucking up my eyesight 

They hate me on the sly 

But I bet you if I died, you would see em at my night night (fake youts) 

They're asking if I'm real, I'm real enough ('nough) 

Still got a couple killers in the cut (cut) 

If he's coming nice 

I big him up, drugs kill 

But my niggas make a killing off a drug (aye) 

Rapping like I'm Jigga but I'm Puff (puff) 

Westend wanna show a nigga love (love) 

But if it weren't me you would never let my niggas in the club 

Fuck DSTRKT and fuck all these nightclubs 

And fuck giving money to people that don't like us 

There's riots in the city just tell me where I sign up 

The rave goes silly every time I pick the mic up (whoa) 

I got smoke, you can hold a bit 

A coloured brother with a bone to pick 

But I still get to gunning, don't be running when I bang mine 

Before we said our prayers, there was gang signs (gang signs)
