First Day Out The Feds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pgpl2_w2uE


So Gucci home now and First Day Out the Feds is doing numbers online. Everybody was hoping this first day out track would be produced by Zaytoven like the first one but he got Mike Will and I ain't really mad at it

Lyrically First Day Out the Feds is darker. It's reflective, introspective and peppered with paranoia and vulnerability.

The original First Day Out painted more of a picture of a man who's ready to get back to living his lifestyle before he went in. First Day Out the Feds paints the picture of a man who doesn't know who to trust and wants to be alone with his guns while confronting his own mortality and perhaps even embracing it. First Day out The Feds is one of the deepest Gucci tracks yet IMO.

Thoughts? Yes I'm dissecting Gucci Mane lyrics.

    First Day Out is like he didn't learn ? from being locked up. First Day Out the Feds sound like he might have learned his lesson, but when it's Gucci and Zay I can't vote against it.

    Agreed. Shows his maturity as a person and a rapper, but unfortunately, I can see him getting hemmed up again.

    Song lyrics (and Song interpretation)

    [Intro]
    Yah
    Swizzop
    It's Gucci
    Mike Will

    [Verse]
    I'm hearing shooters load pistols while I'm brushing my teeth
    I get so many death threats it's getting normal to me
    But I bend don't break, I don't ask just take
    Black gloves, black tape and I don't play nor pray
    Wake up and take a ? , I hear 'em sharpening knives
    Main focus every day is make it out here alive
    Take a shower in my boots and go to sleep in my shoes
    Last night I had a dream some killers ran in my room
    Trying to be patient but ? I can't wait
    On the chase to ? my enemies and beat my case
    So when they ask me how I feel about 'em I can't say
    You either with me, or against me, or you in my way
    I got a pack of hungry wolves and if I don't feed em
    Then they might turn on me, feel like I don't need em
    I keep the best pedigree but hell I don't breed em
    It's a lot of people scared of me and I can't blame em
    They call me crazy so much, I think I'm starting to believe em
    I did some things to some people that was down right evil
    Is it karma coming back to me, so much drama
    My own mama turned her back on me, and that's my mama
    I lost three people close to me in one summer
    Ten years later still don't know shot up my Hummer
    But I bend I don't break, I don't ask I take
    Black gloves and black tape, ? it's my first day

    [Outro]
    ? , ? , ? , ? , ?
    ? you, ? you
    ?
    ? , ? , ? , ?
    I did some things to some people that was down right evil
    Is it karma coming back to me, so much drama
    My own mama turned her back on me, and that's my mama

    This caught my ear. I know he aint talking about Waka, but I'd still like to know what happened between them and whether he feels guilty about it (it was most likely Gucci's fault). Them dudes seemed real close, so you know it was personal. And why does he got beef with his momma?

    Regardless, the whole song is full of paranoia. Sounding like Pac, but not quite as morbid as Pac.

    Can't hate on that First Day Out the Feds. That's a grown man rapping because he realizes life is short. First Day Out, like OP said, is a dude that ain't learn ? like kids who post their crimes on Facebook.
