First 48 Lyrics

I swear I watch First 48 all the time (yeah)
Forty-eight
Wonder if I'm gon' be on there?
Nah

First 48
Get my Migo on the phone (brrp)
Yeah, my Migo one call away (brrp)
He'll pull a First 48 (yeah)
I ain't playin' with these niggas
Pull the chopper, start sprayin' on these niggas
Pull a First 48 (yeah)
Your nigga's dyin' every night
Your nigga's mama cryin' every night
What that show call Rel? First 48 (yeah)
I swear to God, I don't want to do it
But I might have to do it, 'bout to do a First 48 (Quavo)

Baow, baow, graow, baow
Nigga's tried to hit me for my my chain
(Run that chain, fuck-nigga, run that chain)
No way, can't let you do it, lil' nigga
'Cause I'm about to pull a First 48 (baow, boaw, uh)
Now they askin' me, "Where is the pistol?" (Where?)
If they find the pistol, I'ma get a life sentence (fuck)
"Take me to population, officer, I'm dressin' out" (uh)
They had no evidence, in the first forty-eight they let me out

First 48
Get my Migo on the phone (brrp)
Yeah, my Migo one call away (brrp)
He'll pull a First 48 (yeah)
I ain't playin' with these niggas
Pull the chopper, start sprayin' on these niggas
Pull a First 48 (yeah)
Your nigga's dyin' every night
Your nigga's mama cryin' every night
What that show call Rel? First 48 (yeah)
I swear to God, I don't want to do it
But I might have to do it, 'bout to do a First 48

What the fuck? Who that is outside? (Who that is, bro?)
Pulled in my driveway, it's really late (bro, who that is?)
They parked in, man, I cannot see the tag (man, who the fuck that is right there, my nigga?)
But I see a badge, 12, time to shake (it's the NARCs)
Fuck (fuck), I run to my backdoor (damn)
Tryin' to grab all of my cash flow (cash)
Jumpin' these fences don't know where to go (I'm doin' the most)
If I get caught, I get down on my knees and repent
But what's a case if they ain't got no evidence?

First 48
Get my Migo on the phone (brrp)
Yeah, my Migo one call away (brrp)
He'll pull a First 48 (yeah)
I ain't playin' with these niggas
Pull the chopper, start sprayin' on these niggas
Pull a First 48 (yeah)
Your nigga's dyin' every night
Your nigga's mama cryin' every night
What that show call Rel? First 48 (yeah)
I swear to God, I don't want to do it
But I might have to do it, 'bout to do a First 48 (Offset)

I am no killer but nigga you pushed me (I am no killer)
Pussy-nigga thought a nigga was rookie (huh)
Hit me for the cookies (damn)
It's okay (okay)
I'ma catch a nigga in the alleyway (catch his ass)
Hundred round under the K (grraow-rraow-rraow)
Nigga feel my pain
I just caught a case (damn)
The police sayin' they knowin' my name (police, woo-woo)
They knowin' the fame (huh), and the chains (damn)
This part of the game (it is)
You run in my trap
The chopper gon' hit you harder than a train
No witnesses who you gon' to blame
No Damon Wayans, I'm bringin' in Major Payne

First 48
Get my Migo on the phone (brrp)
Yeah, my Migo one call away (brrp)
He'll pull a First 48 (yeah)
I ain't playin' with these niggas
Pull the chopper, start sprayin' on these niggas
Pull a First 48 (yeah)
Your nigga's dyin' every night
Your nigga's mama cryin' every night
What that show call Rel? First 48 (yeah)
I swear to God, I don't want to do it
But I might have to do it, 'bout to do a First 48

What is the Meaning of First 48?

The gritty reality of criminal investigations meets street culture in this raw exploration of consequences and survival. The song references the popular A&E true crime show "The First 48," which documents the critical first 48 hours of homicide investigations. The artists present multiple perspectives - from contemplating violence and self-defense to evading law enforcement and dealing with potential arrests. Throughout the track, there's an underlying tension between the desire to avoid criminal activity and the perceived necessity of violent retaliation in street situations. The recurring chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of violence, with references to death and grieving families. The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty, with the repeated mention of having reliable associates just "one call away." While the song contains violent imagery, it also reveals the anxiety and internal conflict that comes with living in high-crime environments.
