Ooh-ooh

Oh-oh, oh

I'll put you first before everything

We don't need no papers or a wedding ring

You held me down through the stress like steady drinks

So I'm building you a throne you can settle in

You was there when the world tried to cost me out (ooh)

Held my fears in your palms when I dropped my doubt

Never asked for a crown out of cross my heart (oh-ooh)

You just walked with me quiet while I fought my boss, mm-mm

You deserve first 'cause you gave me your best (ooh)

Love me at my worst when I need rest

Showed me reality, nothing like the rest (oh-oh)

So I'll treat your heart right, that's my lifelong quest

You deserve first, now that maybe you're mine (ooh)

Now we see what happens on a half-hearted try

You deserve first, girl, you earned that right (oh-oh)

You the calm in my storm, you the truth in my light

When the bills came late, you ain't blame my grind

You just hugged my hustle, said, "Baby, take your time"

When the world showed shape, you still saw my shine

Move your seat to the front, when they cross the line

You ain't fall when I slip, you ain't hide your face

You ain't dip when I trip, you ain't lost your grace

You ain't switch on my love, never swapped your place

Girl, you stay like a prayer I cannot replace

You deserve first 'cause you gave me your best (ooh)

Love me at my worst when I need rest (oh)

Showed me real loyalty, nothing like the rest (oh-oh)

So I'll treat your heart right, that's my lifelong quest, oh

You deserve first, now that maybe you're mine (ooh)

Now we see what happens on a half-hearted try (oh)

You deserve first, girl, you earned that right (oh-oh)

You the calm in my storm, you the truth in my light

You ain't ask for the world, you just asked for me (ooh)

Just a man with a plan and some honesty (ooh)

When I lost who I was, you reminded me

You the man, you the path, you the prophecy

So I lift you up first like you lifted me

Give you every damn part that you give to me

Ain't no second in line, no split energy

Girl you first, that's the way love meant to be

I done seen people leave when the nights got cold

You stay close, stay warm, stay solid and bold

You ain't flinch at my flaws, you ain't judge my soul

You the type they pray for but never get to hold

You deserve first 'cause you gave me your best (ooh)

Love me at my worst when I need rest (oh)

Showed me reality, nothing like the rest (oh-oh)

So I'll treat your heart right, that's my lifelong quest (uh-huh)

You deserve first, now that maybe you're mine (ooh)

Now we see what happens on a half-hearted try

You deserve first, girl, you earned that right (oh-oh)

You the calm in my storm, you the truth in my light

You deserve first, oh (ooh)

Oh, oh, oh (ooh)

You deserve first

Oh, oh-oh
