First things first

Ain't tryna game you up so girl I'll be straight

First things first

Don't want to mess it up before it's too late

First things first

My name is... Yeah, I'm Blu

And you are? Okay

I'd like to get to know you if it's okay

Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do

Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do

First things first

You gotta tell me what I'm s'posed to do

Let me know just what I'm s'posed to do

First things first

My name is... Yeah, I'm Blu

And you are? Okay

I'd like to get to know you if it's okay

See it's so many ways I can approach you

I can either start off like, " scuse me miss', but shit that's too old school

And I can flow to you but that's too cliche

Plus I don't bust to bust nuts, I bust over beat breaks

I could be honest with you and tell you I'm a cheapskate

But, you probably seen me sharing drinks with my deejay

So, fronting like I got chips is out the question

And acting like my Benz is in the shop is outdated

And I ain't into playing games

Plus I already hate them fake ballers that be always dropping names

And yeah I'm in the game but if I say I rap

You'll be looking for my range, gold chains and my strap

And I can act conscious, but if we talk politics

You'll notice that I'm out of the loop, 'cause I don't follow it

I rock fitted caps, kufis ain't for Blu, see

I eat red meat 'cause tofu don't move me

And women are confusing, but that's for later on

And the only way to tell you is to say it in a song

Like darling you a doll, don't confuse it with sexual

But don't think, I don't think of having sex with you

I'm trying to get next to you, but you being rude

In the club with ya guns out, shooting down fools

She shot down one, and shot down two

Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do

First things first

Ain't tryna game you up so girl I'll be straight

First things first

Don't want to mess it up before it's too late

First things first

My name is... Yeah, I'm Blu

And you are? Okay

I'd like to get to know you if it's okay

Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do

Ayo, tell me what I'm s'posed to do

First things first

You gotta tell me what I'm s'posed to do

Let me know just what I'm s'posed to do

First things first

My name is... Yeah, I'm Blu

And you are? Okay

I'd like to get to know you if it's okay

Now, don't get it twisted broke niggas need love too

And underground rappers like to chill at the club too

I wanna get buzzed, get drunk and get crunk

Get a chick to kick it with when I'm feeling fucked up but

Women be mentioning ya' whips and your chains

So I flip it like slaves come with whips and chains, we gotta liberate

But before I could mention my name

They be talking to the nigga with the keys to the Range

And I can't even compete with these ballers trying to get at you

'Cause I ain't even got enough cheese to try to match dude

Nor do I got a flat to bring you back to

But, I can roll up a blunt and try to relax you

Probably make you laugh when you mad in a bad mood

And ask a few questions 'bout caressing your statue

'Cause no, I ain't got corn rows or hood tattoos

But, I can fuck up any track that I rap too

I, know it's irrelevant, but rap is my profession

And just cause I'm a gentleman, don't mean I'm into settling

I spend most my time on the grind, but I ain't peddling rocks

Or trying to sign to the Roc, I'm trying to meddle in my own business

So tell your girls mind they own business

And I would give you my digits but see my phone isn't Accepting calls till the bills get paid

Now you say you want the real, but it's the real I'm saying. So what the deal?

First things first

Ain't tryna game you up so girl I'll be straight

First things first

Don't want to mess it up before it's too late

First things first

My name is... Yeah, I'm Blu

And you are? Okay

I'd like to get to know you if it's okay

If it's okay with you

If it's okay with you
