Say Now lyrics - Nelly

[Nelly]

Gun shots reigned 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 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 tranin' in the streets some type of ghetto battles

But they aint 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 cant call it no way 

When your gettin started everybody wanna help and get you off

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 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 

Say now 

Can you hoes come out to play now? 

[Nelly]

(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 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 see more aaliyah fans fall cry to their 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 dady 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 Ill let no nigga 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 now

Say now (echose) [4x]
