“1st of tha Month” is the 12th track on Bone Thugs-n-Harmony’s album, E. 1999 Eternal.

The song refers to a time of celebration in the ghetto, because welfare checks arrive on the first day of every month. It’s also a time to rejoice, with family BBQs and smoking weed with your true friends.

It is also a very busy day for drug dealers, as Wish Bone describes in the third verse, because everyone has fresh money to spend on.
