From Movies On Demand 22011

Lyrics

1st Time

[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 grass 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 (no)

He felt the weapon in your chest because I’m well respected (yup)

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 motherfuckers

Cause they smucks and they blood suckers

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

Yet you assuming I’m passive

I’m really truly a master

Of lyrically moving masses

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 passage

Nigga 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 kill it like an assassin

Looking for that applause when all you get is the clappin’

I’m serious about my craft don’t ever confuse the masses

By taking my outtakes and trying to repackage them

It’s never forgive action

[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 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 'fore 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 niggas 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 kill 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

It's the Cons fool, word

[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 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 cockroaches 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 bitch

[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
