[Intro: Monlee]
Small beginnings. Small beginnings
Small beginnings. Small beginnings
Day 1. Day 1. Day 1
[Verse 1: Fist & *Von Trap*]
Wilson 99...*Primary 4 Green*
Tall boy, *short boy*, we neva before see
*Who would have thought that it’s time*, Primary 4 Green
Would be the place that’ll spark this whole thing
*But you moving too fast
Take it back to when you sat at the front*
You used to sit at the back of the class
But, never coming last, was always gonna pass
But it took a while before our crossing paths
*Yeah, I remember when we first talked and spoke about interests
It’s funny cos it’s you that I’d spit with*
But how could we know then?
*We weren’t even close friends*
You the biro soccer cheat with those pens
Yo, those memories are precious, God has been gracious
A big shout out to Aunty Patience
Our class teacher, *but then you had to leave
And that we’d meet again was hard to believe*
[Hook: MonLee]
I remember day one
It’s been a long road where we came from
Baby steps, now we everyday run
Together, even when the rain comes
Or day sun
Said I remember day one
Who’d have thought that we would stay long?
A little spark, now we got a flame one
Wouldn’t believe that is where we came from
Day one, day one
When I look day one, day one
[Verse 2: Fist & *Von Trap*]
*Fast forward to back in 06
Now I pass for Von Trap and you Fist*
These years go by, now it’s 7 later

I’m surprised to realize you found the pen and paper
*Yeah, I was glad in the faith you stand with me
Together, rocking the stage in* StandCity
With Soul Flame, no shame, repping the Lord’s name
We making it so plain, *for nothing we won’t change*
And for every time I missed it, you was a call away
Looking forward to holidays with the misfits
*And we cannot ignore the days, when we rapping along the ways
With a passion so strong it made us to reach this*
And now we here, yes sir
And we fare better
Giving our skills into Peer Pressure
*And it’s not all bad* it can be positive
*It’s divine will*, a destiny we gotta live
[Hook: MonLee]
I remember day one
It’s been a long road where we came from
Baby steps, now we everyday run
Together, even when the rain comes
Or day sun
Said I remember day one
Who’d have thought that we would stay long?
A little spark, now we got a flame one
Wouldn’t believe that is where we came from
Day one, day one
When I look day one, day one
[Bridge: MonLee]
Scratch my back, I scratch yours
Only 'cos you got my back, I got yours
The world got smaller
Cos we’re on the same team
Ain’t no such thing as closed doors
