First Love - Malik

I hardly ever open up

It feels uncomfortable

We started kicking it

You caught my vibe

It felt fictional

You always knew

What to do

What to say

When to say it

A miracle

And now I find myself

Being vulnerable

You let me in as well

Mad reciprocal

Kept me on my toes

Unpredictable

Every minute kicking it with you was

Hella memorable

Managed

To put a smile on my face

When I felt out of place

Down bad and

Miserable

Room full of peopl

You’re the only one I saw

Your homis

Your old nigga

Invisible

In my eyes

You were impeccable

In your eyes

I was just typical

I’ve never done this type of thing

Before

And as time proceeded

I really just wanted more

You gave me peace

Helped a nigga be at ease

With the things he’s seen

You hit my line

And told me

That feelings have changed

All I knew was pain

Enthusiasm felt foreign

Real niggas fall in love

I gained a fear of falling

I gained a fear of heights

A captain after shipwreck

I stopped exploring

Everyone around me

Felt boring

I gotta open up my heart eventually

So I can love the person that

The universe sends to me

Everyone remembers that

First love

The one who you thought

Was the one

Then after that

Came the breakup

Now you’re closed off

Open out your heart

Fall in love

Everyone remembers that

First love

The one who you thought

Was the one

Then after that

Came the breakup

Now you’re closed off

(Bridge)

Fall in love

It’s okay to fall in love

Open up your heart

Fall in love

It’s okay to fall in love

It’s okay to fall in love

It’s okay to fall in love

Open up your heart

Lil' nigga

Fall in love

It’s okay to fall in love

(Malik — verse)

Uhhh

Nigga my first love was the streets (What else)

Later on in life

I fell in love with the beat (Okay)

Y’all niggas was born human

Man I was just born a beast

Then I met you

The toughness had to decrease

Had to learn to deal with flowers

When I was used to the jungle

I was used to the rumble

Now I got me a queen

The type that niggas can’t reach

I’m softer in my approach

Yeah

You been there

When everybody not

Love got me against the ropes

Hitting me with body shots

So I give her body shots

Until I get her body hot

Her body hot

«Head» is an artwork

On level Basquiat

Yeah

I got accustomed to the fast lane

I’m the one she claim

A lost love still want my last name

Shorty got me admitting that love

Ain’t such a bad thing

SWV got me 2 stepping

Slow R and b jams got me acting too separate

From the rest of the world

It’s just me and my girl

And we unified

Young Michelle Obama with me

Y’all can keep y’all trophy wives

Now let it ride

Let it ride

Imma treat mine right

Girl you involved with a evolver

Yeah you chose right

Huh

Everyone remembers that

First love

The one who you thought

Was the one

Then after that

Came the breakup

Now your closed off

Open out your heart

Fall in love

Everyone remembers that

First love

The one who you thought

Was the one

Then after that

Came the breakup

Now your closed off

(Outro)

Fall in love

It’s okay to fall in love

Open out your heart
