Hey, my nigga, we havin' a wonderful day
And I won't fuck wit' me, why?
'Cause it's the first of the month
And now we smokin', chokin', rollin' blunts
And sippin' on 40 ounces thuggin'
Come, come we got the blunts and rum
From jumpin' all night, we high
Hit up the block to where? East 99
I get wit my nigga to get me some yayo
Double up, nigga, what you need?
We got weed to get P.O.D.'d
Fiend for the green leaves
Double up for the first, fo' sho, better lay low
Because the po-po creep when they roll slow (solo)
Break, if you can't get away, better toss that yayo
Keep your bankroll
Yeah, we havin' a celebration, love to stay high
And you better believe when it's time to grind
I'm down for mine, crime after crime
Finna creep to the pad 'cause mom's got the grub on the grill
If we got the food, ooh, you know it's the first of the month
And, my nigga, we chills for real

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)

Wake up and I see that my sister was already dressed
She said, "I'ma run and go get my stamps
Watch and make sure no one snatches my check," nigga, that's the mailman
Sort through the mail and put it up into me pocket
So I be headed to 99 to get me a dub for 40 duckets
But ain't no bucket, ride that RTA
Hop on the 10 to the Claire
Ready to get 'em up with-a me thugs
And to cash that dum, man, I gotta get paid
Playa, playa, holla, holla
St. Claire got much to offer
Whether it be weed on 93
Or off on the Glock-Glock for some dollars, so
Get a bag of dope and a quarter O, oh
Most all of my niggas got the same, and we gonna roll it all up to smoke
Hittin' that reefer hydro, you know the cut, so fuck them po-po
Toss all that yayo then roll with a pound and stay low
Runnin' through the alley into the melee
Up on the second the sun down
Those run from January, November, December
I'm lovin' the first of the month

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)

Gotta grind, gotta get mine
In the hood that I claim and I slang on that double 9
Gotta find them dubs, gonna get a 40, can a thug get love?
What's up?
Try to slang on my corner, nigga you's a goner
St. Claire niggas don't like that
And sellin' them dummies, makin' that money come back
Nigga get pap-pap
From the first to the fifteenth, niggas smoke plenty weed
But I gotta save, gotta come up
Put my rocks on the cut
When I get high, nigga, blaze that blunt, huh
Time to roll to the pad
Count up my profits and add it to the stash
Gotta watch my back see, for niggas that's tryin' to rob me, fool
But never no shorts or no losses
Dumpin', keepin' this niggas up off me
See, gotta search the whole block, spend a couple of bills
Thugs smoke a lot of weed on the first

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)

Wakin' up feelin' buzzed, up early in the mornin'
Stretchin', I'm yawnin'
Lightweight, bent, chugga-lugga take a fifth to the dome
Instead I got geeked with my trues
But it is the first, so I'm gettin' me hustle on
Hop on the phone, calling up Krayzie Bone
Wanna know, did your O.G. check come? (Sure, put me down)
I'ma hop on the bus with Biz (yo, brother, let's get drunk)
And I'm coming with blunt after blunt of the skunk
Nigga T just put me down
Oh God, how I love when the first come around
Now I be freakin' me Black N Mild
Headed cross town 'cause niggas the first gets celebrated
Rushin' to the block 'cause I want to get faded
Lookin' all wild 'cause I'm gettin' me hair braided
We heavy off into this game
True to the first, just call me that pro slang
Them nickels and dimes and twenties and fifties
The first be the day for the dopeman
Slangin' that cocaine, fool, and I'm working late tonight
And all them fiends be lovin' them thugs
'Cause I got them rocks for them pipes
Come, come with the ease, I gotta get paid
On the first gotta blaze up my spliff
Get live with the Bone Thugs, Poetic Hustlaz and the Graveyard Shift
On the first

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (so cash your checks and come up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (it's the first of the month)
So get up, get up

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
