[Nelly]. Gun shots rained out over the city. And had everybody duckin and runnin checkin for any. Kinda shelter cause them peoples know 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 ya daughters "come in". Got fathers grabbin sons "where the hell have you been boy?". And yeah they startin young I'm talkin 13 and 10. They started tranin in streets on top of ghetto battles. But they aint hoopin in no gym they hoopin crates in the alleys. Where else can you shoot a jump shot. Slang a rock off 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?. Well I cant call it no way. When ya gettin started everybody wanna help n get ya all. But turn around 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). Can you hoes come out to play now? (na na na na na na na na). Say now (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 day light. Tryin ta get my mind right. And just before I grab it somebody reach out and snatch it. Im from tha Say now. Can you hoes come out to play now?. [Nelly]. Oh hear me out now. 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 the street dirty why you mad at me?. Is it cause the old school freestyle nigga from A to Z?. Aint seen these tvâ€™s I aims to please. They mean the same to me like Biggie to C's. Like Easy to E Tupac to overseas. And I done seen more Aaliah fans fall cryin to they knees. I tell ya I aint been livin this life for too long. And I cant count how many times someone has asked me what's wrong. Why my mother was gone. Why my daddy wasnt home. And the same shit they told me I found myself tellin my own. Now its good-bye bad nights. Hello good times. There aint no way I let no nigga step in my shine. Keep tryin (keep tryin). Theres bound ta be somethin G. As long as I'm in S-T-L-U-N-A-T-I-C. I'll tell ya. [Chorus]. [Hook]. Hear me out now. Say now (echo 4x). . . by : Bia tranka
