Dezzy Hollow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For my dogs locked up
Mmm this for my dogs locked up

This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up
This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up
This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up
This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up
Forgive me if I ever said I felt alone
Trying to keep busy so forgive me for forgetting to reload my phone
With the minutes of discussion and we
Touching all the topics that been going on
He said if nothing set in stone be
Careful with who you work with and hold ya own
Thats what the homie Mike told me
It′s a different life living in isolation
The greatest potential method of gaining appreciation
Let inspiration bleed thru my letters, and my phone calls
I been trying to tell my baby Momma should leave but I let her
Now she don't call
I been thinking everybody seem so shady and that′s including my lady
I pray to God at night despite the sin I hope he could save me
I never needed their apology, Or the empathy
But as of now I been living off your energy
But as of now I been looking for that remedy
I'm looking down cause the homies don't remember me
I lost too much I lost my touch the law life sucks
I can′t remember city living while I′m all tied up
In my .

Consequences
Just doing what I had to do I face Consequences
Things changed since I been here I face Consequences
They reconstruct the whole city now face Consequences

Well let me tell you when you get out many things evolved
No more fighting everybody till our problems are solved
Big buildings changed the face of what our Pier-view look like
They adding more and more as if it still don't look right
Demolishing the swap meet as of recent account
You know them big white screens well they took them all out
I went from hearing Mitchy Slick on the courts of Fireside
To seated in his jeep and making music inspired I′m, a long way coming
Every city round the world is victim to change
And the people living in them all predicted the same
I try to lift my brother up but still conviction remain
I tend to ponder on my thoughts in memory lane
Of you free and I dream of an early release
Time fly things change when you part of the streets
Now everybody in the past don't want to put up with these here .

Consequences
Just doing what I had to do I face Consequences
Things changed since I been here I face Consequences
They reconstruct the whole city now face Consequences

This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up
This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up




This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up
This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up

Overall Meaning

In Dezzy Hollow's song Consequences, the artist is reflecting on life both inside and outside of prison. The repeated lines "This is something that I gotta tell my dogs locked up" show that he has not forgotten those who are still incarcerated and is thinking about them even as he navigates his own challenges in the outside world. The lyrics describe feeling alone and disconnected from others, yet also recognizing the importance of holding one's own and being careful about who to trust. The reference to "living in isolation" suggests the isolation of prison life, while "gaining appreciation" speaks to the potential for personal growth and transformation in such a setting. There is also a sense of nostalgia for the past, both in the artist's own memories of the pre-gentrified city and in his longing for reunification with his incarcerated friends.


The theme of consequences is threaded throughout the song, and is the key message of the chorus. The consequences of one's actions are powerful and long-lasting, affecting not just oneself but those around them. The artist seems to be grappling with the consequences of his past choices, and also recognizing that there are consequences beyond his control - the gentrification of his city is just one example. Yet despite the weight of these consequences, he remains connected to his community and committed to communicating with those who are still locked up.
