[Verse 1] Broke and disgusted, I was tired of that Kept putting me last, can't keep doing that Everybody eat, where my plate at? Gave 'em my all, ain't get nothing back I gotta choose me, that's a different move Cut a few ties, had some things to lose Can't keep drowning tryna save your crew If I don't love me, what I'm posed to do? [Pre-Chorus] Woke up late, still made a play Bad decisions had a good payday I was too available, now I'm booked They got real quiet when I changed the hook [Chorus] My plate first, my plate first I was tired of the worst My plate first, my plate first I ain't carrying what don't work Gave too much, got hurt Now I know what I'm worth My plate first, my plate first I choose me first [Verse 2] Look, I ain't selfish, I'm selective Old habits need corrective They want access, no investment I was giving out discounts on my presence Bro, get up, fix your posture Stop buying love, that's a bad offer You keep paying tabs for grown impostors Then wonder why your pockets looking like a lost-and-found locker [Pre-Chorus] I got tired of the same excuse Same old circle, same bad news New pair of shoes won't change your route You gotta switch the way you think when you stepping out [Chorus] My plate first, my plate first I was tired of the worst My plate first, my plate first I ain't carrying what don't work Gave too much, got hurt Now I know what I'm worth My plate first, my plate first I choose me first [Bridge] You can't build wealth with a guilty conscience, please Stop making promises you can't remember Stop calling temporary people family forever I had to tell myself, you deserve better [Chorus] My plate first, my plate first I was tired of the worst My plate first, my plate first I ain't carrying what don't work Gave too much, got hurt Now I know what I'm worth My plate first, my plate first I choose me first [Outro] Broke and disgusted, nah, we ain't staying there Make better choices Put yourself first sometimes You can't pour from an empty cup Yeah, that's it
