[Verse 1]
[Bm]B .I .G.[Am]
Coming from [G]a city
where bullets turn bros into souls
Who [C]knew from the concrete
that [Am]a rose had [G]a rose?
Good girls stop being good
when [Bm]I turn them into hoes
Dreams [F]stop being dreams
when [Bm]I turn them into [Am]ghosts
Big was the first one that had it,
then
I saw a nice [Bm]chain,
man that was ill -matic
Then [C]I saw Kanye's hanging
from his gold [Bm]necklace, then
Ye gave me mine,
I'll [Am]show you my work ethic
Mo[G]m had that hoopty that
she ran in the dirt,
used to [C]pick me up from school,
man, [Am]right after work
[G]Now she rollin' up in that caddy
like she [Bm]comin' to church,
she ask [F]why I rock all this gold,
cause I'm [Bm]comin' in first
Got [Am]the streets behind me
like I was starin' in the rearview,
used to have [Bm]to take showers
standin' in the middle
[C]Now I'm in the penthouse,
look at what Emile do
[Bm]Lookin' in the mirror
and [Am]I'm still you, I'm still [G]you
Got my first [C]chain
Like [Am]I got my first [G]chain, I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like [Bm]I got my first chain,
I be [F]stuntin'
Stuntin' like [Bm]I got my first chain
[Am]B -B -Big was the first one to have it
Now Jacob the [Bm]jeweler
benefit from my habits
I [C]be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first [Bm]chain,
I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like [Am]I got my first
This is what it's all [G]about
with this rap stuff
I can say I never been [C]punked,
robbed, or smacked up
[Am]I can sa[G]y I've been chased,
jumped, or backed up
[Bm]I learned to patch it up
an[F]d get past it
The new 2 [Bm]be actin' up
Cause it's [Am]a mental game
I learned that when I got my
first initial chain
[Bm]I didn't fake it, it was gold -plated
[C]I was posing, relating
To those dealing with me
[Bm]I had the big gold boat
[Am]And cause it was those gangs[G]tas
That bonus, that coach,
and those projects
[C]Shiny shit on they necks
Mak[Am]ing both of my eyes sweat
[G]It got in my bones
[Bm]Now I'm coppin' stones
[F]Sorry Sierra Leone
[Bm]One day we'll right the [Am]wrongs
18 karat go cuban on
not [Bm]too short not too wide [C]not too long
My penta defensive in the truest form
[Bm]Platinum gold [Am]rose gold
what [G]you want?
I've got my first chain
[C]Go cuban like [Am]I got my first [G]chain.
I be stuntin stuntin like [Bm]I got my first chain
I be [F]stuntin stuntin like
[Bm]I got my first [Am]chain
B was the first one that had it
then
I saw a nice [Bm]chain man.
That was ill medics
[C]Stuntin', stuntin' like I got my first [Bm]chain
I be stuntin', stuntin' like [Am]I got my first the highway to [G]heaven,
look at all the tolls I paid
I [C]done gave my city drive
all [Am]the roads I [G]paved
No matter which way I turn,
thing[Bm]s go my way
I'm rock[F]in' chains every day,
so [Bm]you know I slave
Even [Am]when I'm just walkin' round the crib
To remind me of [Bm]everything
that [C]we did
Look up in the mirror,
chain, only thing lyin'
No [Bm]heroes where I'm from,
bullet[Am]s, only thing flyin'
I [G]know the higher the goal,
the harder to climb
But after [C]that, the bigger the muscle
and [Am]smarter the [G]mind
Police only work [Bm]12 -hour shifts
Cause [F]in Detroit,
that's cheaper than a bail[Bm]out bill
Trap house [Am]built brick by brick,
pay dues on dues
FF good, you know I'm rep
[Bm]pin' crew on crew
Stack [C]bills on bills till my backyard's
got pools on pools
[Bm]Girls on girls, linger[A]ie and moulin rouge
[Bm]God damn,
[G]I think I'm gon' OD off this
Asparagus [C]and bread and pas[Am]ta,
need [G]a doctor
I've been dodgin' shady
[Bm]hoops and rainy days
[F]It's like I got a bui[Bm]lt -in Doppler
[Am]And it's a[A] shame, a f***in' shame
[Am]I don't remember my first lo[Bm]ve
or my first time [C]prayin'
But remember my first s***s
and the first time she came
It [Bm]almost felt as good
as when [Am]I got my first [G]chain
Got my first [C]chain
When I [Am]got my first [G]chain,
I be stuntin'
[Bm]Stuntin' like I got my first chain,
I be [F]stuntin' Stuntin' like I
[Bm]got my first chain
[Am]Jay -Z taught me money and the day
Came from the [Bm]streets,
headed to the Hall of Fame
and I [C]be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I got my first [Bm]chain,
I be stuntin'
Stuntin' like I [A]got my first chain
[G]It's such a wonderful thing
to see the end of all thing[C]s
N****s and b****es,
you ain't [Am]jukin' where you [G]at
I got my [Bm]mind, it's on me
A couple others in dream
[F]s would've seen me
My [Bm]n****s in the drip
[A]About two months in a week's time
Went from feeling hellish to golly
[Bm]with limit lime shine
Now how the [C]f*** can I chill now
Kinda think I'm dope,
you see this [Bm]piece that I own now
How [Am]sick is the rope,
takin' [G]life for what it is
A troublesome jig, who throws [C]bits?
From time to time, [Am]it's the weather
[G]Things switch up, people trip up[Bm]
The money come down,
[F]then climb up,
but where they [Bm]come again?
The most [Am]creepin', de[A]ceivin',
man, this game schemin'
Say[Am]in' that you love [Bm]me, I surely hope,
and if you don't
[C]Motherfuck that sometimes,
so dead [Bm]it, shred it
Younger, [A]lost in the night,
I'm so ready [G]to let it go
My life is awesome,
I'm [C]goin' super dead right now
[Am]But I'm [G]awesome, I'm awesome
Whoever has [Bm]a bad thought,
don't know the God
[F]Cause when I leave this book,
[Bm]you all gon' wish you knew the God
[A]Gon' be too late,
but the songs will evolve
[Am]Just [Bm]know this fact, you were all wrong
[C]Now watch me do my silly dance,
not really a dance,
[Bm]more like a frantic signing
[A]off with a crotch [G]grab
Yeah, well [C]hey, perfect
[Am]Than[G]k you man for letting
me get on [Bm]this record,
Sean, you [F]the coolest[Bm]
Good [Am]music forever, [A]understand?
[Bm]Yum[C][Bm]
[A][G][C]
[A]I'm[G] right
