Nelly - Say Now lyrics
[Nelly - Say Now lyrics]
Gun shots ringed out over the city
And had everybody duckin and
Runnin checkin for any
Kinda shelter cause them peoples man
They at it again
If you ain't heard or seen
It then you better pretend
Ain't got no time for stoppin
Ain't no catchin your wind
Ya baby mammas on the porch
Tellin her daughters "come in"
Got fathers grabbin sons "where the
Hell have you been?"
Boy and y'all just startin young
I'm talkin 13 and 10
They started tradin in the streets
Some type of ghetto battles
But they ain't hoopin in the gym
They hoopin crates in the alleys
Where else can you shoot a jump shot
Slang a rock all from the same spot?
Got one gang on this half the other gang
On the other half of the same block
Gunplay on Monday
Sundays a fun day
Will it stop one day?
I can't call it no way
When your gettin started everybody wanna
Help and get you off
But turn around first motherfuckers
Wanna see you fall
Say now (say now)
Can you hoes come out to play now? (play now)
Say now (say now)
Can you hoes come out to play now? (play now)
Say now (na na na na)
Can you hoes come out to play now?
(na na na na na na na na)
Say now (na na na na)
Can you hoes come out
Na wait a minute na wait a
Minute na wait a minute na
Feel like I'm runnin for the daylight
Tryin ta get my mind right
And just before I die will somebody reach
Out and snatch it from me
Say now
Can you hoes come out to play now?
(Hear me out)
Tryin ta put my city on the
Map and they mad at me
The same city some of them live
In and they mad at me
When I come down to speak derrty
Why you mad at me?
Is it cause the old school freaked
Out niggas from A to Z?
Eight cd's, tv's, I aim to please
They mean the same to me like Biggie to C's
Like Eazy to E's, 2Pac to overseas
And I done seen more Aaliyah fans
Fall cry to their knees
I tell ya
I ain't been livin this life for too long
And I can't count how many times
Someone has asked me what's wrong
Why my mother was gone
Why my daddy wasn't home
And the same shit they told me
I found myself tellin my own
Now it's good-bye bad nights
Hello good times
There ain't no way Ill let no
Nigga step in my shine
Keep tryin (keep tryin)
Theres bound ta be somethin G
As long as I'm in STL
You in the TIC
I'll tell ya
Feel like I'm runnin for the daylight
Tryin ta get my mind right
And just before I die will somebody reach
Out and snatch it from me
Say now
Can you hoes come out to play now?
Hear me out now
Say now (echose)
And had everybody duckin and
Runnin checkin for any
Kinda shelter cause them peoples man
They at it again
If you ain't heard or seen
It then you better pretend
Ain't got no time for stoppin
Ain't no catchin your wind
Ya baby mammas on the porch
Tellin her daughters "come in"
Got fathers grabbin sons "where the
Hell have you been?"
Boy and y'all just startin young
