[Intro ]
I put the family first (Uh), i put the family first
I think I could do nigga your day
[Chorus]
I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out of mud, nigga, didn't see me at my worst
I didn't rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurt
I put the family first, but I put the family first
I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out of mud, nigga, didn't see me at my worst
I didn't rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurt
I put the family first, but I put the family first
[Verse 1]
I had to put in the work, I see they hate, they don't want me to win
I put the family first if they ask, you just tell them I'll do it again
Tell them that we're getting in, I gotta put food on the table
Every day I'm in the streets, I'm hoping that the Lord save me
I can't run from these problems, everybody got problems
Rolling up back to back, just forget about the problems
I know money can't solve it, every day, it get harder
But I got to go harder for my boys and my daughter
****ed up, I was starving, I broke the lease on the apartment
But, bitch, I came from the garbage, but now the money ain't the problem
I told the family I got him and I'm sticking to the promise
I'm only focused on the commas, I pray let us see tomorrow
[Chorus]
I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out of mud, nigga, didn't see me at my worst
I didn't rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurt
I put the family first, but I put the family first
I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out of mud, nigga, didn't see me at my worst
I didn't rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurt
I put the family first, but I put the family first
[Verse 2]
I gotta run up my back, I can't just sit on my ass
Told you I got it, you laugh, I had to go on the stash
****ed up, I was down bad, couldn't even be around that
Took a chance, but I bounced back, hold up, nigga, let me count that
I put the family first, **** it, it is what it is
I do this shit for my kids, if I do it, I'm doing it big
Can't complain so I take what I get
Get the money, I'm ready to flip
Double up, we gon' take us a trip
Out the way 'cause they all in the mix
Got it on me, they open, I slipped
Chase the money, we gotta get rich
All the nights that we spent on the strip
When I'm stressed, I might roll me a spliff
Every day, I be ready to quit
But I can't, so I stay on my shit
Told myself that we're going to chair
Take a shot and they're hoping I miss
[Chorus]
I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out of mud, nigga, didn't see me at my worst
I didn't rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurt
I put the family first, but I put the family first
I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out of mud, nigga, didn't see me at my worst
I didn't rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurt
I put the family first, but I put the family first
