[Birds singin', snorin', roster crowin', and an alarm clock]
[Chorus: Layzie & Bizzy (repeat 4x)]
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
[Krayzie]
Hey my nigga we havin' a wonderful day and I won't fuck with me. Why?
'Cause it's the 1st of the month and now we smokin', chokin', rollin' blunts
And sippin' on 40 ounces thuggin' come come we got the blessed rum
From jumpin' all nights we high
Hit up the block to where? East 99
I get with my nigga to get me some yayo
Double up nigga what you need?
We got weed to get P.O.Ded
Fiend for the green leaves
Give it up it's the foe sure you better lay low
Cause the po-po creep when they roll slow
If you can't get away better toss that yayo
Keep your bankroll
Yeah we havin' a celebration, I love to stay high
And you better believe when it's time to grind
I'm down for mine crime after crime
Fin to creep to the pad cause mom's got grub on the grill
If we got the food, you know it's the 1st of the month
and my nigga we chills foe real
[Chorus 4x]
[Bizzy]
Wake up and I see that my sister is already dressed
She said "I'm gonna run and go get my stamps
Watch and make sure no one snatches my check" nigga that's the mailman
Sort through the mail and put it up in-a me pocket
So I be hittin' the 99 to get me a dub
Foe forty bucks but ain't nobody ride that rita
Hop on the 10 to the click
Ready to get 'em up with-a me thugs
And to cash that dum
I gotta get paid play player holla holla
Saint Claire got much to offer
Whether it be weed on 93
Or off on the glock glock for some dollars, so
Get a bag of dope and a quarter roll, oh
Most all of my niggas got the same, and we gonna roll it all up to smoke
Hittin' that reefer hydro, you know the cut, so fuck them po-po
Toss all that yayo, and we're gonna say no
Runnin' through the alley and into the melee
Up on the second the sundown
Those run from January,November,December remember the 1st of the month
[Chorus 4x]
[Wish]
It's the 1st of the month
Gotta grind gotta get mine
In the hood that I claim
I slang on that double 9-9
Gotta find them dubs
Gonna get a forty, can a thug get love?
What's up?
Try to stand on my corner
Nigga you'z a gonna Saint Claire niggas don't like that
And sellin' them dummies makin' that money come back nigga get pap pap
From the 1st to the 15th niggas smoke plenty weed
But I gotta save gotta come up
Put my rocks on the cut
When I get high nigga blaze that blunt, huh
Time to roll to the pad
Count up my profits and add it to the stash
Gotta watch my back see for niggas that's tryin' to rob me, fool
But never no shorts no losses
Dumpin' keepin' this niggas up off me see
Gotta search the whole block
Spend a couple of bills
Thugs smoke a lot of weed on the 1st
[Chorus 2x]
[Layzie (Krayzie)]
Wakin' up feelin' buzzed off up early mornin' stretchin'
I'm yawnin' lightweight bent chugga lugga take a fifth to the dome
Instead I kick it with my trues
But it's the 1st so I'm getting my hustle on
Hop on the phone, calling up Krayzie Bone
Wanna know did you O.G check come? (She put me down)
I'm a hop on the bus with Biz (Yo Brother let's get drunk)
And I'm coming with blunt after blunt
Of this skunk
Nigga T just put me down
Oh God how I love when the 1st come around
Now I'm feelin' black and mild, headed cross town
'Cause niggas the 1st to get celebrated
Rushin' to the block cause I wanna get faded
Lookin' all wild cause I'm getting me hair braided
We heavy off into this game
True to the 1st just call me that pro slang
Them nickels and dimes and 20's and 50's
The 1st be the day for the dopeman
Slangin' that cocaine fool, and I'm working late tonight
And all them fiends be lovin' them thugs
'Cause I got them rocks for them pipes
Come come with them ends
I gotta get paid on the 1st, gotta blaze up my spliff
Get live with the Bone Thugs, Poetic Hustlers in the graveyard shift
On the 1st

Review about 1st Of Tha Month Great Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/18/09
This song is just a slice of life. Don't judge it for the stereotypes you think it promotes. Take it for what it is. If you can't understand this way of life, then don't listen.
This lifestyle isn't just "how niggas be livin". People of all races that have lesser income do this kind of stuff on "tha first". White trash in Colorado may talk differently than niggas in Atlanta, but it's all the same.
I used to listen to this song almost every time I'd blaze or when I'd hop in my car to get some yay. It's that kind of song.
stupid | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/5/09
this song is about having a good time. its about blazing a blunt, sippin 40s and chillin out.....on my freakin dollar. get a freakin job and blaze up with your own money. if you have the time to blaze up for fifteen days straight you have the time to freakn get a job.
Celebrate the First | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/27/09
I'm a white boy, I go to college and I work a finance internship during the summers. But every month on the First I listen to this song all day and I think about how great it is to get paid and blow your money on useless shit. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Great Song | Reviewer: Digriz | 7/25/09
I like how the skinhead Reality Check leverages this song -and probably everything else- to vocalize his racist propaganda. Haters are gonna hate.
Analyze the lyrics all you want, there's no ambiguity. It's quite clear they're celebrating The First, with all the government skrilla rolling in and the giddy anticipation of hooking up with weed, coke, 40s and bitches.
It's a fucking great song, and art. Like all art, it should be appreciated for what it is: a song. Chill, smoke a bowl, bob your head, donkey punch your ho, whatever. Valuing a song based on its lyrics is like dissing a painting because of its frame. Just enjoy it without fretting over their situation.
Wtf | Reviewer: Hydro | 7/23/09
I wouldnt expect any of you rich, consumerist, slave-to-society people to understand a song like this. They are rapping about their teenage years before they finally took the risk and went to LA to meet Eazy E, their lifelong dream. They used to live off the welfare like every other "citizen" in cleveland. But i wont say anymore cos people like you dont understand. AT ALL
I wish these young AA gentleman wouldn't squander their talent. Unlike a lot of "Gangsta Rappers", these guys have good vocal harmony skills, and are obviously influenced by either religious or positive secular R'n'B performers. But why sing about the pieces of shit that sell hard drugs to people who are wasting their SSI/SSDI benefits? They're glorifying the sale of crack and heroin to people who are already disabled and who should be using this money for rent and food. Pieces of SHIT!!!
RE: great song | Reviewer: Been there done that. | 5/1/09
Umm...actually it is about using welfare checks to buy weed and 40s. I work with gangstas and drug addicts. Trust me. They'll be glad to tell you the same thing. When the welfare check comes, they have money to get high without having to hustle for it. For those who slang it they get to buy a bigger supply off that. Seriously, thinking like in this song is why the ghetto will stay ghetto and none of them will get ahead in life.
Great Song | Reviewer: Bone Thug Fan | 4/17/09
BTNH are the greatest group ever and their songs are so real. And all you bigot haters on this board this song is not about people using their welfare money to buy weed and 40s, its about findin a way to get thru a struggle and havin a good time, hence Krazie's verse when he talks about him and his family and friends getting together around the grill and eating and havin fun, understand the message before you go on a rant like that "Reality Check", i dont know what kind of reality you live in, but Racism is played out kiddo
Why the Negro Race is inferior | Reviewer: Reality Check | 2/2/09
This song demonstrates how black people are taking advantage of The Man, that same Man who they talk about keeping them down. Why don't you get jobs instead of sitting around on government handouts smoking drugs?
pathetic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/1/09
yeah just because it is an unfortunate circumstance to have to live off of public assistance doesn't mean you spend that shit on weed and 40ozs. that's why the gov. wants strip poor people of welfare because they don't know how to utilize the aid in a positive fashion. would i drink and smoke if i was poor...probably. but i sure wouldn't expect anyone else to pay for it ie people's tax money.
