1st Time You Say No (feat. Crys Wall) Lyrics


Long live the trill, and death to all the fake
The last of a dying breed how much can I take
If I die tomorrow who gon' show up to my wake
And lie to my gal tell her that I owe them all my cake
My yard full of snakes, it's time to move around
Or maybe I should pull out that mower chop em down
I knew it when I pulled out that Bentley in the town
I was looking for congrats all I got was mad frowns
I stayed up in that line til I finally got my turn
I hustled and prayed that the tables would turn
I worked for what I got, every penny I done earned
See I shared my hard times but I guess they not concerned
I hustled and I grinded so it struck me as a problem
They used to be my partners jealous turned them into gollum
I guess I was naive to the lessons of the fallen
They don't like it when you're shining boys hate it when you ballin
You know they hate to see you ballin, they rather you was broker than a joke
See I made it from the bottom but they rather I was hanging from a rope

I show alot of love and them favor weigh more than I can count
But the first time you say no all the shit you said before don't countI put on for my crew, that was my objective
I never show hate showing love was more effective
Strangers think I owe them even though were not connected
They looking for my flaws searching for em like detectives
Jealousy and envy is something I expected
But friends turning into me is something I neglected
I can't please everybody that's what I dissected
How can I put on for Texas if I never leave Texas
My resume is long not to say quite impressive
I could've been incarcerated freedom is a blessing
These weak-minded fool get egged on like some breakfast
But why would God bless you, you're out there living reckless
Why these cowards threatened by another mans successes
They smile in your face but when you leave they get aggressive
Be honest with yourself they're ain't no need to embellish
You can look them in the eye and in they heart they just jealous
I've learned a lot of game from the players that I've known
And I've never understood how these haters still on
I show them all love but they wanna do me wrong
I try to show them game but they think they all grown
I've made a few mistakes opportunities I've blown
But I've asked for forgiveness for my sins I haved tolled
I've flown around the world but there's no place like home
Til you're home full of strangers and your neighbors all gone
Unity these days is a virtue unknown
There's room at the top but they rather be alone
Somehow these boys got it twisted like a cone
They think they know it all they'll learn it on their own
I'm right here in my zone somewhere far away from them clones
By myself all day posted up you already know
Boys wishin that I was broker than the touch screen on their phone
I gotta go out there and get it I can't sit at home and get stoned
I'm gone.

Paul Wall (born Paul Slayton on March 30, 1980) is an American rapper, DJ, and promoter from Houston, Texas. Notable as one of the few successful white Southern rappers, Slayton is affiliated with Swishahouse Records, formerly Swisha Blast Records. Slayton is a graduate of Jersey Village High School and studied mass communications at the University of Houston for three years. Paul Wall was originally one-half of Houston power duo The Color Changing Click, alongside long-time partner (and now estranged acquaintance) Chamillionaire.

Wall's first music industry exposure came as a street team member on the Northwest side of Houston, promoting southern artists such as T.I. and labels like Cash Money and The New No Limit. He is also an accomplished and proficient mixtape and party DJ, known for producing mixtapes in the now-well-known screwed & chopped style, which was invented by the late DJ Screw. While he has recently stated on record that South LE. (in Houston's southside) is his base of operations, it is not the neighborhood that Paul Wall is actually from. Paul Wall has claimed several such neighborhoods over his career, starting with De Soto in Acres Homes (his original home neighborhood), then switching to Gulf Bank (also in Acres Homes).

Paul Wall, Chamillionaire and Jon Higgins were originally affiliated with Swishahouse Records, but left for Paid in Full Records a short time later. After several mixtape and independent releases, including the critically acclaimed Get Ya Mind Correct, the two parted ways on bad terms. Chamillionaire continued to release independent records, while Paul Wall returned to the Swishahouse fold. This move allowed him to appear on Mike Jones' first commercially distributed single, "Still Tippin'", from his first major label album Who Is Mike Jones?.

His major label debut, The People's Champ, has produced a lead single, "Sittin' Sidewayz", which is receiving national radio and television play. In August, 2005, rumors began to circulate that Paul Wall and Chamillionaire had settled any differences that remained between them, and are again on good terms with one another. Paul Wall also appeared with GLC on the song Drive Slow on Kanye West's second solo album, Late Registration.

Paul Wall is the owner and proprietor of TV Jewelry in Houston. The store specializes in the production of grills, silver, gold, or platinum caps and diamond inlays (usually princess-cut diamonds). Grills have become a growing trend in rap culture and have even influenced its own song. "Grillz", by Nelly ft. Paul Wall along with other artists, where at one point Paul raps "Call me George Foreman 'cause I'm sellin' everybody grillz.)
