Fat Joe – Day 1's lyrics

[Intro]
This is
This
This

[Chorus: Dre]
We was on the same track, me and my day one
Never a doubt, it's a fact, that's my day one
I never thought it'd come to this, not my day one
I never thought I'd see the day you wasn't day one
We used to smoke together, make plans together
Plottin' on a billion dollars and stay rich forever
Ball together and laugh together
But now you got a nigga fucked up (Got me fucked up, oh yeah)
Fucked up, fucked up, fucked up (Now you got a nigga fucked up)
Yeah, yeah
Fucked up, fucked up, fucked up

[Verse 1: Dre]
Checkmate, 12 on the way
They sent a caravan of narcs to the estate
Escape routes, it ain't no routes for your escape
They got the blueprints and plans, they been plottin' this for days
Come get your man, he been leakin' shit for months
Eating bacon turkey sandwiches with pigs over lunch
You like, not the one you stood beside when it was war
I'm like, I tried to tell you stay the fuck away from boy, a'ight?
I hope you stashed away some cash and royalties
Chains is cool to cop, but more important is lawyer fees
Stick to the rules, nigga, that's how it goes
'Cause this is business, and it ain't personal

[Chorus: Dre and Fat Joe]
We was on the same track, me and my day one
Never a doubt, it's a fact, that's my day one
I never thought it'd come to this, not my day one
I never thought I'd see the day you wasn't day one
We used to smoke together, make plans together
Plottin' on a billion dollars and stay rich forever
Ball together and laugh together
But now you got a nigga fucked up (Got me fucked up, oh yeah)
Fucked up, fucked up, fucked up (Now you got a nigga fucked up)
Yeah, yeah
Fucked up, fucked up, fucked up (Swear to God these niggas got us fucked up, yo)

[Verse 2: Fat Joe]
The irs is in my books, accountant told me to chill
Percy caught a murder case, guess who's footin' the bill
Pistol caught three attempts, guess who's footin' the bill
Now niggas get to questionin' me like, "Who's real?"
I was locked up, you was tappin' my accounts
Came home like Fredo, nigga, you had to bounce
You was my day one, I mean the main one
"Loyal" tatted on your arm, but you ain't one
She was my day one, we used to sleep on the mattress
Way before all the money, all the features, and actin'
Feds on my ass, I'm tryna duck me a rico
All up on cnn, tryna save Puerto Rico
This is real life, ain't nothin' pretend
Got rid of my enemies 'cause I made 'em my friends
Always stick to the code, man, you know how that go
Strictly business and it ain't personal

[Chorus: Dre]
We was on the same track, me and my day one
Never a doubt, it's a fact, that's my day one
I never thought it'd come to this, not my day one
I never thought I'd see the day you wasn't day one
We used to smoke together, make plans together
Plottin' on a billion dollars and stay rich forever
Ball together and laugh together
But now you got a nigga fucked up (Got me fucked up, oh yeah)
Fucked up, fucked up, fucked up (Now you got a nigga fucked up)
Yeah, yeah
Fucked up, fucked up, fucked up

[Outro: Big Bank dte]
Timeout for the bullshit, man
I gotta keep it all way tall wit' y'all
I don't give a fuck how much dope you sold, how many niggas you done killed
How many banks you done robbed, how many niggas you done robbed
Whatever you done did, gangsta in the streets now
All that shit go away once you tell on a nigga, man
Ain't no such thing as a legendary rat
Once you told, my nigga, yo... Yo stripes and everything has been taken away
You have motherfuckin' damaged your whole, the rest of your family tree
Your son is a lil' rat now
You know what I'm sayin'?
Y'all stop praisin' these rat ass niggas, man
Throwin' these niggas parties and shit
You fucked your legacy up, dawg
I don't give a fuck what you did
Once you told on a nigga, you fucked that up
Ain't no legendary rat
You'll never be honored
