FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME

[Chorus: Kanye West]

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

I could see, I could breathe

Don't believe me? Jesus freed me, now I'm free

I got kicked out the house, they hate the way I run my mouth

Know you hear me, name ring through the city

My doctors on Sebi, my Christ is on heavy

Whole gang, I'm the king of this, war timе, I'm ready

These mountains ain't hеavy, John Madden, come and get me

When I'm feeling mad, let me put it in the bag, hefty, tie it up

I ran the world, but never trade it for my soul, though

Now the line I drew set the goal, though

Yeah, I lost my best man and I lost my spouse

Only billionaire you know that's sleepin' on the couch (What?)

[Chorus: Kanye West]

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

Let it rain, rain, rain, righteously, I made a name

Let it rain, rain, rain, it's value in struggle and pain

You want the money and fame, it's way more that you need to gain

This part of creating a future just better for me and my family name, so

[Chorus: Kanye West & Soulja Boy]

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long (Yeah)

This the first time in a long time (Yeah), this the first time in a long (Draco)

This the first time in a long time (Soulja), this the first time in a long

[Verse 3: Soulja Boy]

This the first time in a long time

Used to be broke but I'm on now

I was just stuck at the bottom, grindin'

Now I'm shinin', sittin' at the top

I was just stuck in my feelings

Now I'm just ridin' 'round playin' with millions

Now I'm havin' racks to the ceilin'

Stackin' up cash, what a wonderful feelin'

We used to go walk in the mall to go shop

But now, we can walk in and buy the whole buildin'

We havin' mansions with acres

But honestly, we used to live in the trenches

I'm on fire like a candle

And God ain't gon' give you no fight you can't handle

Back in the trap, we ain't even have cable

Now I see my face on the channel

And R.I.P. Virgil, that Off-White is on me

The 'Rari, it's swervin'

I went to jail for that Draco

I guess that nobody perfect

Ain't give me no bond

I sat in that cell for a long time

Big Draco, big Ye

First time in a long time

[Chorus: Kanye West]

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long

This the first time in a long time, this the first time in a long
