First Day Out
Emerging from Shadows: BullyDahKidd's First Day Out Reflections
Lyrics
Y’all thought I was done
Others believed my journey was over, but I'm preparing to make my presence felt.
I’m about to walk on the beat
I'm ready to engage with the music scene again.
First day out got to figure it out
It's my first day out after a challenging situation, and I need to find my way.
I got to take a different route
I must choose a different path from before.
Love myself so ima make it out
I value myself, so I'll find a way out of this situation.
On my block ain’t no such thing as a drought
In my neighborhood, there's always enough of what's needed.
Got to feed the family how it goes
I have responsibilities to support my family.
OTF only the family
I prioritize loyalty to 'Only The Family.'
Don’t call me bro
I'm not just a casual acquaintance.
When I was lock in the jam
During my time incarcerated.
You Won’t know
You won't understand what I went through.
Yeah this is real shit
These experiences are authentic and genuine.
They smile in ya face then wish u bad luck
People pretend to support you but secretly wish harm upon you.
You get lock in the jam they wish u no luck
When you're in trouble, others don't wish you well.
Free my brother kk he fighting for his life yeah
Someone close to me is fighting for their life.
You niggas ain’t living right
Others aren't living morally.
You the type bring a knife to a gun fight
You're unprepared for a serious challenge.
I done seen it all
I've witnessed everything.
How u shoot and tell
How can someone commit a crime and then tell on others?
That’s a shooter foul
It's unfair to penalize the one carrying out the crime.
That’s a dummy call
A foolish move, an obvious mistake.
Jail 23 and 1
Spent 23 hours locked up with 1 hour out.
But they had me locked down24 and 0
The system had me completely locked up without any time out.
Locked in a cell by myself 10 days ina row
Alone in a cell for 10 consecutive days.
No one to talk to
No one to converse with.
They Took my phone calls
My calls were restricted.
I had to write that mail
I had to resort to writing letters.
I had to write ah couple songs in the Fucking celI
Even in confinement, I created music.
I had to get my mind right in the Fucking cell
I focused on fixing my state of mind in confinement.
I had to pray to God
I turned to prayer to maintain mental strength.
To keep my mind right
Others underestimated me.
Y’all thought I was done
I'm preparing to reintegrate into society.
I’m about to walk on the beat
I'm ready to make my presence felt in the music scene again.
First day out got to figure it out
Similar to the initial line, it's a repetition emphasizing the need to find my path after release.
I got to take a different route
I must choose a different direction from my past.
Love myself so ima make it out
I value my life, and I'll find a way out.
On my block ain’t no such thing as a drought
In my neighborhood, scarcity isn't an issue.
Got to feed the family how it goes
There's an obligation to provide for my family.
OTF only the family
Loyalty is solely to 'Only The Family.'
Don’t call me bro
Don't address me casually as a friend.
When I was lock in the jam
During my time incarcerated, you couldn't understand.
You Won’t know
Similar to line 11, you won't comprehend my experiences.
