CONSEQUENCE - Countdown lyrics

rate me

Ft. Lupe Fiasco & Chris Turner

(Verse: Consequence)

The only dog from the kennel who made it up to Kimmel

And that's a symbol sum' will say is symbolic

Of the sentiment that we should have a seminar in college

Cuz the way we take a term & turn it into paper

Ya could turn it in & tell 'em that's yo term paper

Cuz we been takin' paper on our own terms

The kinda paper that'd make 'em say, "it's ur turn:

But those turns'll take the 'hey' to a "hooray"

And have ya like Frank when his bird was in the fireplace

My mistake must have been punctuality

Cuz fucking up sum' commas isn't everyone's reality

But fuck 'em otha hitters, anyone I go to bat fo'

Is 'bout to have a Benz symbol on they dashboard

So watch who ya pinch wit' them crab claws

Cuz safe flight won't come to fix a glass jaw, it's the Cons, fool

(Hook x2)

Yeah, I make ya count

That's why ya hear me on the countdown

Cost so many bodies that it's getting hard to count now

I just keep counting, aw, yeah, as we count it all

I just keep counting away

(Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco)

Out the door of the limo to make it up to Leno

And at a tempo, sum' would say it's Ben Wallace

The defensiveness of niggas who ain't neva left the projects

Cuz we can neva trust, but we be having fun

But that's what happens when ya hatch witout a trust fund

So ya trust the fundamentals that's yo net worth

And only fund the trustworthy niggas in ur network

Keep yo eyes on the prize, watch em dilate

And hope the prize stare back at ya like a fire escape

My mistake must've been my reality

Cuz when ya spitting facts & turn saliva into salaries

Don't fuck wit' otha spitters, but the ones that go to bat fo' us

Like the Benz got a bat symbol on the dashboard

Back balling & the ones that turn to Shaq 4

Better sin safe like to fix the backboard, it's Lu', nigga

(Hook x2)

(Bridge: Chris Turner)

I just keep counting cuz I know we're number 1

I just keep counting cuz I know we're number 1

And I know when the summer comes

She gon' me, "you're the one"

I just keep counting cuz I know we're number 1

I just keep counting cuz I know we're number 1

And I know when the summer's done

She gon' me, "you're the one"

So I just keep counting as I count it all

So I just keep counting as w count it all

(Hook x2)
