Up Against The Wall

[Intro: Consequence]

Crack's in your pocket, weed in your pocket

Dope in your pocket, who the hell could stop it?

You can't get caught with, so you might want it locked in

[Chorus: Consequence]

I never thought you'd find me

I never thought you'd see me

Crack's in your pocket, weed in your pocket (I never thought you'd find me)

Dope in your pocket, who the hell could stop it?

Up against the wall, against the wall, against the wall

[Verse 1: Consequence]

It was around 2 at night, I saw the blue and whites

There was one Black officer and two were white

And I'll admit that I was wrong, 'cause I blew the light

But I figured the Black one was out to prove he white

And he'd prove me right and wouldn't do me right

So when I rolled the window down, he wasn't too polite

Matter fact, he was screamin' at the top of his tonsils

I said, "Sir, there's no need to be this hostile"

"Well, Mr. Cons, you got late registration"

I said, "It's me, Cons, from Late Registration"

He looked at me like I ain't take my medication

And this was the cause of his detonation

He told me, "Step away from the vehicle"

This is becomin' way too much to read into

He called for backup, so what you expected me to do?

To stand there like a horse at a feeding zoo?

Nah, I did what my feet should do

I tried to bolt, but then the white one put the nine millimeter to my throat

And told me, "Freeze or you'll be risking it all"

And that's how I wound up

[Pre-Chorus: Consequence]

Up against the wall, against the wall, against the wall

[Chorus: Consequence & Roc Marciano]

I never thought you'd find me

I never thought you'd see me

Crack's in your pocket, weed in your pocket (I never thought you'd find me)

Dope in your pocket, who the hell could stop it?

Up against the wall, against the wall, against the wall (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Roc Marciano]

Caught red-handed, ridin' with the cannon

Schemin' and scammin', livin' like Reggie Hammond

A phantom, snapshots from the man's Canon

Pigs got my pictures on the wall like a parent

I be disappearin', but the cameras

Will catch you doin' dirt if you be careless

You gotta be more aware of it

To save yourself the embarrassment of gettin' caught carryin'

They hit my homie with calendars, he was talented

And I'm still fightin' cases out in Maryland and breakin' up marriages

Like packages of white like Marilyn

Still dabble in the crack game, baggin' it

Feds in the palaces, searchin' through the cabinets

I'm a capitalist, get off that faggot shit

My establishment, that's rather fabulous

Police threw us in the paddy wagon like savages

[Chorus: Consequence]

I never thought you'd find me

I never thought you'd see me

Crack's in your pocket, weed in your pocket (I never thought you'd find me)

Dope in your pocket, who the hell could stop it?

Up against the wall, against the wall, against the wall

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

Yeah, this shit got me feelin' kinda like Sunday evenin'

On the pulpit, me and my heathens

Me and Consequence circle your seven continents all in one weekend

Make sure your proposal is decent, get exposed to treason

The last of the dyin' Mohicans when mentionin' rappers

My niggas'll rat-tat-tat you, then kiss your mother right after

Disaster'll strike faster than a thief in the night

The thesis of a Black man, policemen never could write

That's why our backs against the walls, gun raised

Takin' out everything like bank withdrawals before the year 2K

And by the end of the day, I'll be America's most wanted

Shot and confronted while runnin' from the CIA

Livin' life as a rebel

The last Panther stuck in the ghetto

Tuckin' the metal like junkyards and rockstars

The smoke never settles where I'm from

From a tree to the cornerstores is where we hung, uh

[Chorus: Consequence]

I never thought you'd find me

I never thought you'd see me

Crack's in your pocket, weed in your pocket (I never thought you'd find me)

Dope in your pocket, who the hell could stop it?

Up against the wall, against the wall, against the wall
