First Day Out Lyrics – Shiva (English)
First Day Out Lyrics (English)
[Intro: Shiva]
Mm-mm (Uoh, uoh), mm-mm
Mm-mm (Uoh, uoh), mm-mm
Yeah-eh
[Verse 1: Shiva]
I'm smoking under the rain
While I'm returning home, I can put my chains back on (Uh-ah)
I think my past was hard, now everything's okay (Okay)
I don't let small men stop big thoughts (No, no)
Two kids, it feels like yesterday
Now it's an attempted murder, it's written in my warrant (Uh-ah)
I worked in my sleep to live like I dreamed (For real)
They told me: "You risk ten years, so don't tell us lies", okay
How many in my place would have snitched? Okay
Thinking about it hurts, I was inside during Christmas
Without hearing from anyone, without seeing my mother
Chico, if you choose the streets, pray not to end up in jail
You don't know what it's like not to see your child being born (Uh-ah)
[Chorus: Shiva]
I'm smoking all my pain, na-na
In that place where hours don't pass, na-na
You've never been in a cage without a way out
You've never been in a courtroom fighting for your life
I'm drinking all my pain, na-na
In a black G Wagon, fully loaded, na-na
These cold streets have made my soul bad
Maybe it's their fault, maybe it's just my fault
(My fault, no, no)
[Verse 2: Shiva]
From on top of a Lamborghini to then locked in a cell
Too many prayed to see me lying on the ground
I have to make up for my sister's tears
I have to be careful because this city is at war
First day out
I'm cold as if diamonds were real ice
I feel like hitting rock bottom changed me
And in the interrogation I stayed silent and isolated
All these pussies just want clout
I was missing, yes, I took a time-out
But I still have, like, a hundred rounds
If you mess with me, I go "pow, pow"
I defend my name, I defend the town (Exactly)
The world hears me, now it's my moment
Money on my mind, on the floor (Milan)
If I'm an example, I want to be the best
The street is wicked, chico, be careful
[Chorus: Shiva]
I'm smoking all my pain, na-na
In that place where hours don't pass, na-na
You've never been in a cage without a way out
You've never been in a courtroom fighting for your life
I'm drinking all my pain, na-na
In a black G Wagon, fully loaded, na-na
These cold streets have made my soul bad
Maybe it's their fault, maybe it's just my fault
(My fault, no, no)

[Intro]
The intro sets a somber, reflective tone with repetitive sounds ("Mm-mm, uoh, uoh") that evoke a sense of contemplation and melancholy. It prepares the listener for the introspective journey of the song.
[Verse 1]
Shiva starts by describing his habit of smoking under the rain as he returns home, symbolizing his attempt to find solace amidst turmoil. He reflects on his difficult past, now feeling like it's all okay. He asserts that he won't let small-minded people hinder his big dreams. Shiva recounts his past crimes and the reality of facing severe consequences, including an attempted murder charge. Despite the risks and the possibility of a long prison sentence, he chose not to lie or betray others. He reflects on the pain of being incarcerated during significant moments, like missing his child's birth, and advises those involved in the street life to avoid ending up in jail.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, Shiva expresses his way of coping with pain through smoking and drinking. He describes the emotional and psychological toll of being in a place where time seems to stand still, emphasizing the despair of imprisonment. He contrasts this with the cold reality of the streets that have hardened his soul, pondering whether his toughened demeanor is a result of his environment or his own doing.
[Verse 2]
Shiva contrasts his experiences of luxury (driving a Lamborghini) with his time in a cell, highlighting the volatility of his life. He mentions how many people wanted to see him fail, but he feels a responsibility to make up for his sister's tears. He stresses the importance of being cautious because his city is like a warzone. Shiva's first day out of prison is marked by a coldness he compares to real ice, indicating how prison changed him. He stayed silent during interrogations, showing his loyalty and resilience. He criticizes people who seek fame ("pussy") and asserts his readiness to defend his name and town, suggesting he still has the fight left in him.
