Consequence - 1st Time (feat. Consequence) lyrics

[Hook: Consequence] There's a first time for everything There's a first time for everything But don't be afraid of what's in the dark Just open your eyes and see what's in they heart I remember the first time I left it up to you But I learned from the first time to never trust in you [Verse 1: Talib Kweli] Ay yo, the first time ever I saw your face I recall the case Cut the gra** now I see all the snakes My lawyer man cake Cause of you he's been employed by the beef And now it's time to half court in the street Falling asleep on your boy is not recommended He felt the weapon in your chest because I'm well respected So when you disrespect reflection then your health effected I go harder than any demon that hell invented I never felt threatened By none of these industry motherf**ers Cause they smucks and they blood s**ers You can come quicker than sideways or backwards I always come straight up in your face Your mistake is confusing me with a rapper That interviews and a fashion You a**uming I'm pa**ive I'm really truly a master Of lyrically moving ma**es It's true but if you attack us I'm never the one to back off Never the one to slack off I'm making them take the mask off It's beautiful when I black out, it's natural like disasters My body is like a host for a ghost of the middle pa**age You not imagining the noise you hear is laughter They giggle behind your back you enacted your family matters You read into what's happening and k** it like an a**a**in Looking for that applause when all you get is the clappin' I'm serious about my craft don't ever confuse the ma**es By taking my outtakes and trying to repackage them It's never forgive action [Hook] [Verse 2: Consequence] You only get one chance to make a first impression That's why I always make sure I come the freshest Whether I start or my words ending I'm here to exercise my first amendment Which gives you the right to get your verse played I almost lost that after the third grade Cause on the first and fifteen before I stayed My team was the first to get paid So why would you cross us in the first place Unless you willing to catch a first case You better all go on on your first date To see if you can get past first base This the first taste of what the pain gave me You listen to the rumors you would think they played me But they my juniors, my first babies I only deal with presidents like the first lady Who pay me on a first name basis I don't like you n***as I'm almost racist That's why I'm cursing the first person or cursing the first person who didn't make my first purchase But type my name in they word searches Cause I k** the flow bring out the first hearses And this will be the first crime you ever seen But it's cool cause there's a first time for everything [Hook] [Verse 3: Talib Kweli] Before the ink dried and the deal was finalized And the money changed hands and the plan was monetized We used to eat mcdonalds fries Shop for economy size Know when economists lie We poor we trying to survive Another stat-istic of a man with some kind of pride I'm getting black listed like I've got a communist tie Little did I know it was myself I was trying to find Getting all kind of high Crashing like vehicular homicide But now I'm self employed and I'm chilling I'm waking up with the millionaires You looking for the building I'm still in there Still in fear Scared of the dark that don't matter When the lights come on the co*kroaches scatter Exposing the data Yo get a load of these actors They cloak and dagger See how I broke they swagger My spirit is rich Yea the lyrics is sick Get prepared lyricist of the year in this b**h [Hook]
