La Prima Volta

The first time I remember was a weekend, I was about 13, backpack full of mountain, the years of writing, walls covered in fame, street name notes, tags on skateboards, the first time I heard a rhyme was in '96, the times of walkmans and tapes, everything simpler in every aspect, I remember stolen scooters, modified, friends on the walls then, the first time I fell in love, the same first time I got beaten up, the years of sleeping on the desk, the years of feeling strong in a group and being the leader, the first hangover was the first party, the first b
tch I betrayed had someone else in mind, the first dead body I saw was in a clio, dead son next to me, it was the first time I forgot about God, the first time I dreamed of being on top, like the first time I tried to roll a joint, the first time you don't inhale, it's never like the first time you pull it, the first of a thousand complexes, the first promises made, the first friends are still the same, the first time you go beyond as if it were the only time, the last time you thought 'this is the last'

they say you never forget the first time, I wish I could be born again now and relive it, you shouldn't get lost in anything, every first time I hope, you shouldn't get lost in anything worth more than black gold, they say you never forget the first time, do you want to erase everything now and rewrite it, you shouldn't get lost in anything, every first time I hope, you shouldn't get lost in anything worth more than black gold

you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, the first time you go beyond as if it were the only time, the last time you thought 'this is the last'

the first time, which one? that one, got it, after I remember I was lying down, quiet, smoking, looking at the ceiling and the shadowy eyes in the corner, it was the first time I saw an angel sleep, the first real fear of not going back, I remember it was spring, high on md, you shouldn't get lost in anything, never, don't do it, but do what's worth remembering, so turn off the stereo now, you, try to feel alive, because I don't remember my last time anymore, I write about myself before forgetting, before the ghosts come back to visit me, I can't fall asleep, do it now, if this is a nightmare make sure it's the last, the first time you need to be sure, then the last ones from experts, but there's never the last time I dream with my eyes open

they say you never forget the first time, I wish I could be born again now and relive it, you shouldn't get lost in anything, every first time I hope, you shouldn't get lost in anything worth more than black gold, they say you never forget the first time, do you want to erase everything now and rewrite it, you shouldn't get lost in anything, every first time I hope, you shouldn't get lost in anything worth more than black gold

you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, the first time you go beyond as if it were the only time, the last time you thought 'this is the last', you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, the first time you go beyond as if it were the only time, the last time you thought 'this is the last', you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, you shouldn't get lost in anything, I never did, the first time you go beyond as if it were the only time, the last time you thought 'this is the last'

the first time, I remember, was a weekend, the cops, the dogs, and pockets full of ketama, the motorcycle getaways, foot on the license plate, winter, smoke, cold and dead eyes late at night, you know how it is, how it works the first time every time, go beyond as if it were the last, you know how it is, who thinks 'life is too short', and how many times have you repeated 'this is the last'

they say you never forget the first time, I wish I could be born again now and relive it, you shouldn't get lost in anything, every first time I hope, you shouldn't get lost in anything worth more than black gold, they say you never forget the first time, do you want to erase everything now and rewrite it, you shouldn't get lost in anything, every first time I hope, you shouldn't get lost in anything worth more than black gold
