[Trap Soul]
[Hook / Chorus]
I been the 1, since the jump — they just catchin’ on late.
My kids the 1s — never second, that’ll never be the case.
She been the 1, held me down when I ain’t have no faith.
Now I’m the 1 — puttin’ me first, yeah, I’m finally in place.
Yeah, I been the 1…
Way before they said I was.
Now I give love without losin’ myself —
’Cause I been enough.

[Verse 1 – About the Kids]
They don’t know the nights I cried in silence,
Wipin’ tears while I’m tuckin’ in giants.
My lil’ ones look at me like I’m gold —
So I shine, even when I feel cold.
I put ’em first, every time — no cap.
From the first breath, I knew I couldn’t turn back.
They my reasons, they my roots, they my run —
Everything I do? Yeah, it’s for my kids
They don’t even know they saved me —
Taught me how to love when the world tried to break me.
Ain’t no maybe —
They the 1s, always will be, that’s daily.

[Hook / Chorus]
I been the 1, since the jump — they just catchin’ on late.
My kids the 1s — never second, that’ll never be the case.
She been the 1, held me down when I ain’t have no faith.
Now I’m the 1 — puttin’ me first, yeah, I’m finally in place.
Yeah, I been the 1…
Way before they said I was.
Now I give love without losin’ myself —
’Cause I been enough.

[Verse 2 – About You + Her]
I used to pour from empty cups,
Tried to save everybody ’til I gave too much.
Now I’m choosing me — self-worth ain’t selfish,
Finally protecting my peace, no more helpless.
But let’s talk about her…
She been the 1 — never switched, never blurred.
Saw the broken in me and stayed through the worst,
Prayed over me when I ain’t believe it worked.
Now we glow different —
Healed up and we grow different.
She my rib, not my chain —
Don’t need diamonds when the bond feel insane.
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken or Sung Softly]
They always been the 1s…
Even when I ain’t know how to be.
I found myself through them.
And she found me.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I been the 1, since the jump — they just catchin’ on late.
My kids the 1s — never second, that’ll never be the case.
She been the 1, held me down when I ain’t have no faith.
Now I’m the 1 — puttin’ me first, yeah, I’m finally in place.
Yeah, I been the 1…
Way before they said I was.
Now I give love without losin’ myself —
’Cause I been enough.
