First Play

Intro

Verse 1

Yard light on and the gate swing wide

New kicks, tag still on, come on inside

Three plays deep on your very first track

Next morning you wake and the comments stack

Cover art rough and the tags all wrong

Still somebody's lovin' every bar of your song

Real flex is watchin' your first post grow

Hearts rollin' in from folks you don't even know

Pre-Chorus

Soakin' up the chat, learnin' how it flow

(How it flow)

Got a song in your project that's ready to go

(Ready to go)

Chorus

Hit post, baby, let it ride

(Let it ride)

Somebody's bumpin' you on the passenger side

(Passenger side)

Rough mix, slow tempo, whatever you bring

(Whatever you bring)

Nobody in this yard gon' judge a thing

(Judge a thing)

Verse 2

Thought they'd clown on your very first mix

Turn out they just slide you some EQ tips

Too sad, too strange, too long, too loud

There's a corner for you in this crowd

Remix my beat, put your spin on the hook

Credit on the page so the world take a look

A few years in or brand new on the scene

Same shot at the radio, same hearts on the screen

Pre-Chorus

Soakin' up the chat, learnin' how it flow

(How it flow)

Got a song in your project that's ready to go

(Ready to go)

Chorus

Hit post, baby, let it ride

(Let it ride)

Somebody's bumpin' you on the passenger side

(Passenger side)

Rough mix, slow tempo, whatever you bring

(Whatever you bring)

Nobody in this yard gon' judge a thing

(Judge a thing)

Verse 3

Couple weeks later, you the one in the chat

Typin' "yo, welcome" on a new kid's track

Showin' how to tag it, how to fix the gain

Same tips they gave you, passin' down the chain

Mix got cleaner and your covers got bold

Still post the rough ones, that never got old

Now you leave the first heart when a stranger drops

That's how the yard light stay on, it never stops

Bridge

I was the new one once, nobody knew me yet

One stranger left a heart, I ain't forgot that debt

So I keep that yard light on every night I'm here

For the next one shy at the gate, come near

Final Chorus

Front door's yours

(Door's yours)

Bring your own sound, there's room for more

(Room for more)

Bunny or not, the light stay on

(Light stay on)

Nobody's a stranger by the time you're gone

(Time you're gone)

Outro

(Hit post, baby)

(Hit post, baby)
