I was born on the good side of the century
They gave me all the luck and all the chances
I played all the right songs in all the right keys
My only enemy was my advances
I made all the right moves in all the right ways
And when I asked them
"Do you like me?" They said
"Kinda"
I was prepared for all the lies
The loss
The pain
But when I saw my fate
I was reminded
There are unforeseen consequences
And I know I couldn't run
There are unforeseen consequences
And I know that they will come
They said
"Welcome to the fame" I said
"I love it here"
But they told me it was all just a delusion
They said
"Soon, You'll lose it all and disappear"
I said
"Maybe that's a lovely substitution"
But there are unforeseen consequences
And I know I couldn't run
There are unforeseen consequences
And I know that they will come
They creep into the night, unplanned and unbidden
In shadows they reside, secrets they're hidden
No matter how I try, can't turn the tide
These consequences never leave my side
And I can't stop the feeling
It's all fleeting
There are things that I don't know
And I can't stop the feeling
There's no healing
There are things that they don't show
Yo, step into the shadow, where the secrets collide,
In this life of illusions, ain't no place to hide,
Caught in a whirlwind, spinning 'round my mind,
Searching for the truth but it's hard to find.
I hustle on these streets, try to climb up high,
But every move I make is watched by the sly,
Fighting with whispers, echoes of deceit,
In this concrete jungle, where the wolves feast.
Unforgiving paths, can't erase my past,
I keep running forward, but they catch up fast,
Every choice, every step, weighed by what's unforeseen,
In this game of life, living caught in between.
Night falls with promises, morning brings the scars,
Can't just wish on stars, 'cause they're way too far,
Underneath the surface, where the con artists play,
Dealing with consequences, day by day.
No manual for these twists, just a pawn in their scheme,
Trying to break the chains, wake from this dream,
Unforeseen consequences, they dance in the night,
Holding tight, never out of my sight.
But there are unforeseen consequences
And I know I couldn't run
There are unforeseen consequences
And I know that they will come
They creep into the night, unplanned and unbidden
In shadows they reside, secrets they're hidden
No matter how I try, can't turn the tide
These consequences never leave my side
