Lyrics of Say now

(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, tv?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)
