[Nelly] (Look out!) Gun shots rang 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 aint heard or seen it then you better pretend Aint got no time for stoppin', aint no catchin' your wind, ya Baby mammas on the porch tellin' their daughters "Come in!" Got fathers grabbin' sons "Where the hell have you been boy?" And y'all they startin young I'm talkin 13 and 10 They started trainin' in the streets some type of ghetto battles But they aint hoopin in no gym they hoop on crates in the alleys Where else can you shoot a jump shot Sling 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 When will it stop? One day? Hell, I cant call it No way. When your gettin started everybody wanna help and get you off But turn around then the first motherfuckers wanna see you fall [Chorus] 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 [Hook: 2x] Feel like I'm runnin' towards the daylight Tryin' ta get my mind right And just before I grab it, somebody reach out and snatch it from me (I'm talkin') Say now Can you hoes come out to play now? [Nelly] (Yeahh..Uh uh uh uhuh ohh, Hear me out now. Uh uh check it uh uh uh ) 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 state dirty 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 Easy to E's, Tupac to overseas And I done seen more Lia fans fall cry to their knees I tell ya, I aint 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 dady wasnt home And the same shit they told me I find myself tellin' my own Now its good-bye bad nights Hello good times There aint no way Ill let no niggas step in my shine Keep tryin (keep tryin) Theres bound ta be somethin G As long as I'm an S.T.L.U.N.A.T.I.C I'll tell ya[Chorus][Hook]Hear me out nowSay now (echose) [4x]
