Looka Here Baby
Consequence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looka here, baby
Don’t you overreact!
Looka here, baby
Of course he’s gonna say that,
Cause all the guys she’s been with
None of them try to help.
They see the life that you live
Don’t pay the hoe, no, never mind
She a about a bitter ass lemon lime
And one of you skip the end of the line
Cause I got more juice than clementines.
Yeah, it’s true, she a friend of mine
But I use the term “friend”, baby loosely
The …her man and that Cucci
And I finally got a belt from Gucci
Is she the third world like a Roocie
But we never kick it like Bruce Lee
And you know I got a black belt
So one could imagine how that felt
But, but rest ashore
All she trying to do is test your jaws
So I’ll say to assume every dress you wore
Made it feeling way more obsessing more.
Hook: (x2)
Looka here, baby
Don’t you overreact!
Looka here, baby
Of course he’s gonna say that,
Cause all the guys she’s been with
None of them try to help.
They see the life that you live
And want it for themselves.
Now who is she to ever take your temperature?
Don’t you know who be laying in bed with you?
Don’t she know who be in the Benz with you?
That she ever gonna sense you
Tell her it ain’t about hot and cold
Until you get the truck to globe
You gotta prove that you got the gloom
Until then chew it all high and cold!
Talking at the side of your mouth
I see why Joe had to to what he did on the side of the house
No, I ain’t the guy you can try to out
When I ain’t never did was slide you out
Before I sign out for being caught out... My girl out!
You wish you believed ain’t played
In front of my dog house to make you ball out!
Hook: (x2)
Looka here, baby
Don’t you overreact!
Looka here, baby
Of course he’s gonna say that,
Cause all the guys she’s been with
None of them try to help.
They see the life that you live
And want it for themselves.
Looka here, baby!
How she’s gonna talk to you about her ring?
When she ain’t even gonna make the play…
As a matter of fact, only time she gonna walk down the isle
Is the when a stink ass gonna get some popcorn at the movies
You know me better than everybody else
If I’d try to get at her
I would have to buy some
Only bye she got was goodbye,
And I heard it might be bisexual!

In Consequence's song "Looka Here Baby," the rapper encourages his friend not to overreact to the negative things that his girlfriend's exes may say about her. Consequence implies that the exes envy the lifestyle his friend and his girlfriend live and that they do not try to help her. He refers to the girlfriend as "she" and "the hoe," implying that she may not be faithful and only wants material gain.
The first verse contains a lot of wordplay and metaphors, such as "bitter ass lemon lime," "more juice than clementines," and "third world like a Roocie." Consequence also boasts about his Gucci belt and black belt in martial arts, suggesting that he is not one to be messed with. He warns his friend that the girlfriend may be testing him and obsessing over him, and advises him to be cautious.
The second verse suggests that the girlfriend may not be trustworthy and questions her intentions. Consequence mentions a person named Joe who did something on the side of the house, possibly implying that the girlfriend cheated in the past. He also suggests that the girlfriend may not even be interested in getting married, referencing her only walking down the aisle to get popcorn at the movies. Consequence ends the song by reminding his friend that he knows him better than anyone else and that he should not believe everything that the girlfriend's exes say.

Looka here, baby
Listen to me, partner
Don’t you overreact!
Do not react hastily
Of course he’s gonna say that,
That person is expected to say that
Cause all the guys she’s been with
All the guys she has been associating with
None of them try to help.
None of them have been helpful
They see the life that you live
They see your lifestyle
And want it for themselves.
And desire to have it for themselves
Don’t pay the hoe, no, never mind
Don't pay attention to the disrespectful person
She a about a bitter ass lemon lime
She has a sour or resentful attitude
And one of you skip the end of the line
One of you will move ahead of others in the queue
Cause I got more juice than clementines.
Because I am more influential
Yeah, it’s true, she a friend of mine
Indeed, she is an acquaintance of mine
But I use the term “friend”, baby loosely
But I refer to her as a 'friend' casually
Is she the third world like a Roocie
Is she uncivilized or underdeveloped
But we never kick it like Bruce Lee
But we do not hang out much
And you know I got a black belt
And you know I have high expertise level
So one could imagine how that felt
So you can imagine how intense that was
All she trying to do is test your jaws
She is only trying to test your character
So I’ll say to assume every dress you wore
So I suggest you should assume anything she says is not entirely truthful
Made it feeling way more obsessing more.
Made her feeling more infatuated
Now who is she to ever take your temperature?
Who is she to question you?
Don’t you know who be laying in bed with you?
Don't you know who sleeps with you?
Don’t she know who be in the Benz with you?
Doesn't she know who rides in your Mercedes?
That she ever gonna sense you
That she thinks she can understand you
Tell her it ain’t about hot and cold
Tell her it is not about right or wrong
Until you get the truck to globe
Until you have conquered the world
You gotta prove that you got the gloom
You need to prove that you have the power
Until then chew it all high and cold!
Until then, be arrogant
Talking at the side of your mouth
Speaking insincerely
I see why Joe had to to what he did on the side of the house
I understand why Joe had to do what he did in secret
No, I ain’t the guy you can try to out
I am not the guy you can compete with
When I ain’t never did was slide you out
When I have never betrayed you
Before I sign out for being caught out... My girl out!
Before I end up publicly embarrassed and my partner leaves me
You wish you believed ain’t played
You will regret not trusting me
In front of my dog house to make you ball out!
In front of people who know I am influential to make you feel inferior
How she’s gonna talk to you about her ring?
How is she going to brag about her engagement ring to you?
When she ain’t even gonna make the play…
When she is not even going to get married
As a matter of fact, only time she gonna walk down the isle
In fact, the only time she will walk down the aisle
Is the when a stink ass gonna get some popcorn at the movies
Is when someone goes to buy popcorn at the movies
You know me better than everybody else
You know me more than anyone else
If I’d try to get at her
If I try to seduce her
I would have to buy some
I would have to bribe her
Only bye she got was goodbye,
She did not receive anything other than farewell
And I heard it might be bisexual!
And I heard she might be attracted to both sexes
