Smokepurpp Shoot First

The new “Shoot First” song boasts a music video as well, in which Smokepurpp is surrounded by women, slot machines, and hazy neon lights. Actually, the vibe contrasts with the track’s murderous nature. The “Audi” star employs some trademark distorted 808s, but the grand piano melody is unlike the synth melodies he frequents. In fact, this is probably one of his rawest songs in a minute.

In terms of the track’s structure, fans likely took no surprise to its minute-and-change runtime and chorus-assisted verse. For longtime Purpp listeners, this song employs a more straightforward sound. It’s not quite as bass-heavy, trippy, or synthetic (as far as sound) as most of his catalog. However, the 25-year-old actually threw it back to some earlier trap influences on this cut. Seemingly, he hopped out the SoundCloud sound for a second and embraced a more street-dictated sound.

Ayy

[Chorus]
I’ma shoot first, I’ma shoot first (Brrt, brrt)
Think you gon’ rob me, bitch, get a clue first (Clue first)

If she fuck first, she get the boot first (Boot first)
I’ma shoot first, ayy, I shoot first (Shoot)
I’ma shoot first, ayy, I shoot first (Shoot-shoot)
I’ma shoot first, I’ma shoot first (Grrt, bitch)
If she fuck first, she get the boot first (Shit)

[Verse]
If you see walk down with a mask, then you givin’ it up or I’m laying ’em down (Ayy)
Ayy, my niggas retarded, they up it in public to let you know we ain’t playin’ around (Ayy)
You would think that we up in a wreck ’cause we pullin’ a choppa and givin’ ’em rounds (Grrt-grrt, baow)
I’m a king of my hood, I just put on my Rollie and I treat that bitch like a crown (Baow)

Internet gangster, they talkin’ at neck, if I pull up, I’m knockin’ his face off (Shit, shit)
And I’m still in the hood, if a nigga want smoke then you know where I’m at
The Glock got a switch, if a nigga got dumped, then he get the whole clip, then I feed him the MAC (Bah)
He tried to run, I was walking him down, then I put a box of shots in his back (Shots)
My niggas ain’t bullies, if I tell ’em, “Go”, then they ready to go on a tact (On tact)

[Chorus]
I’ma shoot first, I’ma shoot first (Brrt, brrt)
Think you gon’ rob me, bitch, get a clue first (Clue first)

If she fuck first, she get the boot first (Boot first)
I’ma shoot first, ayy, I shoot first (Shoot)
I’ma shoot first, ayy, I shoot first (Shoot-shoot)
I’ma shoot first, I’ma shoot first (Grrt, bitch)
If she fuck first, she get the boot first (First)
