In “Did It First,” Ice Spice delivers revenge-infused lyrics, drawing parallels between her romantic situation and the strategic moves in the children’s card game UNO. She’s unapologetic and ready to play that reverse card without hesitation:
“If he cheatin’, I’m doin’ him worse (Like) No Uno, I hit the reverse (Grrah) I ain’t trippin’, the grip in my purse (Grrah) I don’t care, ’cause he did it first (Like)”
Central Cee doesn’t shy away from his own infidelity, admitting:
“I’m selective with who I get with Gyal on my phone tryna see who I slept with She investigating, detective Lucky for me, I deleted the message”
The collaboration between Ice Spice and Central Cee is electric. Their contrasting styles blend seamlessly, creating a dynamic and unforgettable track. Ice Spice, born in 2000, is poised to take the next step in her musical journey, departing from her previous work and exploring fresh sounds.
Central Cee praises Ice Spice’s authenticity and drive:
“She don’t really care too much about the shiny stuff; but also knows how to play the game. And you can hear that in the music, and see that in the moves that she makes.”
