[Verse 1: Devonté Hynes]
Dreaming a battle (Get it)
Give me time
Walked these steps before
Sixteen-year-old boy
To feel so numb that it's deafening, walls'll give in
After school, sucker punched down
Down and out
[Refrain]
First kiss was the floor
First kiss was the floor
[Verse 2: Devonté Hynes]
But, God, it won't make a difference if you don't get up
Tell me the song, song
I don't know [?] tell us more
What they want me to think
But I'm changing the state
All that I know was taught to me young
Seen it all before
[Refrain: Devonté Hynes]
First kiss the floor
First kiss the floor
First kiss the floor
Shoot, baby, shoot
[Outro: Janet Mock & Devonté Hynes]
Live for the floor
You know, it's an insult we often put onto
Livin' for what?
A lot of folk is, like, oh, you're doing too much
So like, a couple years ago I was like
You know what, my resolution, my eternal resolution will be to
Stay in your course
To do too much
Yes, I love it
