FIRST RECRUIT

Текст песни

[Intro] Yeah… This one different. Before all the names, before all the worlds… We was just tryna build something. You remember that. [Verse 1] Back in Royalty Nation, I was posted on security, Tryna hold it all together, building something patiently. Wasn’t no Platinum Empire, wasn’t none of this in sight, Just a vision in my head and long days into nights. Then you came through, first name that I put on the team, First recruit beside me when this shit was just a dream. Before the bigger rooms, before the different universes, Before anybody knew what all the work was really worth. We done seen the whole thing change, Different roads, different names, Different cities, different lanes, Still the respect stayed the same. [Pre-Hook] That’s why when I stepped inside your world, I ain’t come as no king. No God of Gods, no CEO, I ain’t come to prove a thing. I just came as me. [Hook] So when you handed me that gift, Yeah, that one hit different. ‘Cause you knew me way before all this, Before the world started listenin’. From security shifts to Megaverse trips, Look how far we came. You was my first recruit back then, Now you got a kingdom to your name. And I’m proud of that. Yeah, I’m proud of that. Different worlds now, But the history still attached. [Verse 2] Pulled up in GOA, purple lights across the city, Warlock energy in the air, whole place lookin’ pretty. Styx Soulrend, now an Omi Goddess in her own right, Werewolf blood, warlock soul, built a whole life. But when I saw you, I ain’t see the title first, I saw the one who stood around when we was putting in the work. That’s what people never see when they look at where we at, They only see the finished picture, never what came before that. And you handed me a piece with my name across the front, I had to sit there for a second, I ain’t even gon’ stunt. ‘Cause a gift ain’t just a gift when there’s memories behind it, Sometimes one small moment make you stop and rewind it. [Hook] So when you handed me that gift, Yeah, that one hit different. ‘Cause you knew me way before all this, Before the world started listenin’. From security shifts to Megaverse trips, Look how far we came. You was my first recruit back then, Now you got a kingdom to your name. And I’m proud of that. Yeah, I’m proud of that. Different worlds now, But the history still attached. [Bridge] I don’t gotta walk in every room as something bigger than me. Sometimes I just wanna see the people who remember the beginning of me. No throne. No rank. No spotlight. Just two friends looking back like… “Damn, we really made it this far.” [Final Verse] Royalty Nation was the start, but it wasn’t the ending, Life took everybody places we couldn’t imagine then. Now I’m walking through your city and I’m seeing what you built, And I know the type of strength behind every stone and every brick. So yeah, I took the gift, But what I carried home was bigger. A reminder that the ones from the beginning hit different. You was first. Before the empires. Before the Gods. Before the names got bigger than us. [Outro / Hook] From security shifts to Megaverse trips, Look how far we came. You was my first recruit back then, And I’ll always remember your name. Different paths. Different worlds. Same respect. Some friendships don’t need a title.
