    Fan First (Why Is He Like This?!)
    Hey Party people how do you feel
    I got style, finesse and stress appeal
    The less you feel, the less you may need to heal
    …but still, that ain’t no way to live
    I prayed they’d give me a second chance to seal
    The deal, so watch my spread love at will
    The love for skill, the love for the sense of detail
    I focus on the purpose, not the purchase at retail
    Soundscan, stream counts, all the routine tools
    Fools use to abuse the game, and seem cool
    Meanwhile, I study style, break every line down
    Or zoom back, fully extract the full impact
    Unbound creative limits, compromise unfound
    Have fun when young, till I’m old and rundown
    Right now…I didn’t need no fountain of youth
    What I spout in the booth, amount’s to mountain of truth
    Why is like this?!
    He’s a Fan First
    One white lie, I’m sitting in a chair at a desk
    Appearance a mess, not even properly dressed
    But probably fresh, that we’ve grown expect
    Or am I wrong? Circle A or B to select
    I means to collect more than some measly respect
    I aim to tap into your soul and cause a chilling effect
    But chill for a sec, that’s just a goal that I set
    To push myself to the limits, whether or not that it’s met
    It’s all in my head, perfect place to merge with memories
    Then turn it to energy, that burns in the inner me
    Entering new phase, centering new things
    Pick up and go to explore some new scenes
    2 pair of blue jeans, 3Xs more shirts
    Time to write rhymes, drum machine in the man purse
    Can’t hurt, to get a recharge from the experts
    So headphones on, yeah, I’m always a fan first
