Cons3qu3nc3s (feat. Sol ChYld)

I remember bein' nine and the clouds in the sky talked to me
(Oh yeah?)
Oh, they talked to me loudly, they said (They talked to me)
I remember bein' nine and the clouds in the sky talked to me
(Oh yeah?)
Oh, they talked to me loudly, they said

(Uh) Yeah, yeah, look
Let it stepped off from the starter kit
Lost in the sauce caught me borderin' for smaller consequences
I been hoppin' fences, common L with my defensive
Pensive pencil, erasin' my mistakes before I'm caught with them
(At least I look good)
Look is it that good we got digital footprint?
Non-visible bombs, hidden in figurative nooks?
Figured we give it a look?
I'll never give 'em a break
Give a mother to my so-, or a Harvey Weinstein
Steady mobbing online, you got the wrong mind frame
We need rehabilitation, but y'all want the Colosseum
Liberals want prison reform but y'all don't even wanna see 'em
Get it poppin' somewhere else
Not online and I might just find a lust for bloodshed
Keep us going off of the hemoglobin
Disagree no more, to each his own
Because this shit did hit the fan
Way back, when my people still runnin' shit focused on in-action

I remember bein' nine and the clouds in the sky talked to me (Oh yeah)
Oh, they talked to me loudly, they said

Put yo' money where yo' mouth is
Back when me and Sheen was just some house kids
Exposed to the world, young and brown-skinned
Reline the whole hood, white chalk yo' whole body if you should
Look it came the wrong way, my cousin booked for 10
I hope you keep his head straight, but I ain't talked to him in 3
Girl, he was taller than me, but he was only fifteen
Charged him as a grown man, that shit don't change
I don't speak to be an activist, but as a previalous ass person
I just talk about the shit I know
And I'm still learnin', witness firsthand
You either food or preyin' for another day
And underfunded schools, financially illiterate
My money ain't a tool, the tools keeps them in
First time I saw that nine, I was seventeen
First time I saw some *gasp*, I was ten
Me and sheen stumbled on somebody's stash
And an empty lunch box after school
We just wanted to play but what can I say?
Growin' up in the cities as a kiddy
You keep yo' ass occupied and yo' head busy
'Cus them blocks, they be spinnin' 'em
Swear it's keep yo' tools on 'em 'tends
And attend to yo' squares and get paired
Just the pair

(I might be in jail)
(I might be anywhere)

Ay, you know I--
Uh, you know I-
Uhhh, it's cam
You know I-
You know I hardly been an activist
You know the actor part is havin' all this action in your acronym
And really bein' 'bout some shit
The people scared of all the consequences
(Huh, they really scared of all the consequences)
What an opposition standin' wit' you
Shake ya hand, do a dance
"How you feelin', nigga?"
Like, do this really feel like restitution
When you see the whole picture?
Kids dead, thoughts and prayers, that's the whole system
But it's some drag shows they worried 'bout
Not they bank account
It's why the kids still dyin' and the costs still risin'
It ain't about what side you on
Them words is just divisive
And I don't mean no bigots get to sit wit' us
Think we need to hustle 'em away from bein' righteous
Punch the motherfucker in his face if he don't like you
I say violence ain't the answer but sometimes you need to fight back
Bring yo' action to yo' activist and really act on some average shit
Like, stop payin' yo' taxes as a unit, they won't like that shit
Join or start a group that fill up a room wit' congressmen
Every inaction has a consequence, so you can live with one
(And you gon' deal with it)

We said that we gon' work for anybody
Poor or not, anybody
That has revolution on their mind
Racist organisations don't understand
That racism is an excuse used for capitalism
Racism- Racism is just a byproduct of it
Everything's gon' be alright
Everything, just put that in their head
See what happen when you put that in their head
