SALAMAT to all the First Principles clients this year in retail and merchandising. We’re glad to be with you again and again. This song/music is for all of you….
My First Principle
Compose by: Lovely
Arrange/Interpret: Gabino Legrand
(Chorus)
My first principle, love above the pinnacle
Faith over fame, ain’t no game, it’s invincible.
Discipline the chain, holding back the cynical
My first principle-non negotiable, indivisible
(Verse 1)
Woke up the world spinning, a chaotic ballet
Chasing shiny things, but the shine always fades
Heart heavy, soul tethered to the unseen
Faith a compass, cutting through the smoky screen
Life ain’t a raffle, its choices and a battle
Discipline the saddle when desires wanna rattle
God above all, a law carved in granite
Without that anchor, man, you stranded on this planet
(Repeat chorus)
(Verse 2)
Temptations a thief, lurking in the black streets
Promising gold but leaves you with cracked feet
Dreams of the limelight, applause in the night
But fames a mirage, fading fast out of sight
Faith ain’t flashy, but it holds like a fortress
Gods word steady when the world feels force less
Discipline the hammer, shaping purpose in the fire
Desire can’t derail when the stakes climbing higher
(Repeat chorus)
(Verse 3)
No shortcuts to glory, no hacks to the summit
Gotta grind with the grit, build your life like a sonnet
Faith the foundation, brick by brick laid
God the architect, every shadow, every shade
Discipline the guardrail, keeping me aligned
Desire the storm, but I weather every time
So when the lights dim and the echoes fade
I stand… FIRM, ROOTED IN THE TRUTH I’VE MADE!
