DJ Flipp - No Way Out lyrics

[Intro] Gang, gang! Said, "Keep yo head up" Yeah, lil shorty: "Keep yo head up" [Produced by DJ Flipp] [Hook] I know growin' up in these streets it seem like it ain't no way out But just keep yo head up straight and you gon' make yo momma proud Never ever be a follower, watch who you hang around Now when you become [?], they gon' try to give you that crown I know growin' up in these streets it seem like it ain't no way out But just keep yo head up high and you gon' make yo momma proud Never ever be a follower, watch who you hang around Now when you become [?], they gon' try to give you that crown [Verse 1] When you grew up in this street sh**, you'll see a lotta sh** I done seen the realist n***as get exposed because he snitched I done seen the closest homies fall out all over a b**h I done seen a n***a flip a couple eight balls to a brick I got homies that done died, I got homies doin' time So I'm out here on the grind; meantime, tryna shine Cause they life was on the line in that battlefield for me So when they get out, them real n***as they gotta be with me You ain't gotta prove a point; shorty, why is you stuntin'? Talkin' bout a couple thou, only made a couple hunnid You been out here all day on this corner just hustling And you still ain't make none, huh? Ain't that something? This what it was all about back in '13 when we was thugging We was out here on our money, if not that it wasn't nothing Yeah, we had our poles in public, they was tryna push us back Once you get up in this street sh**, boy, it ain't no turnin' back [Hook] I know growin' up in these streets it seem like it ain't no way out But just keep yo head up straight and you gon' make yo momma proud Never ever be a follower, watch who you hang around Now when you become [?], they gon' try to give you that crown I know growin' up in these streets it seem like it ain't no way out But just keep yo head up high and you gon' make yo momma proud Never ever be a follower, watch who you hang around Now when you become [?], they gon' try to give you that crown [Verse 2] I'm just tryna make a way for me and gang to make it out When my brother Pappy died, I felt like it was a drought We wasn't tryna sit around the house and cry, and soak, and pout We was tryna go and slide up on a n***a, make him shout good (This gun go boom!) If he [?] Put his a** on the scoreboard, we up by larger miles Remember back when we was poor, now we got flat screens, [?] Ain't no carpets on the floor; you walk in, see marble tiles See I'm just tryna send a message to the youth, so I hop up in the booth I tell nothing but the truth Yeah, we make this sh** sound cool But please don't pick up that tool Yeah, lil shorty, stay in school Everything gon' be just cool Please don't get this sh** confused That could be you on the news, tryna get fame off YouTube Now yo family at the viewing, "O My God, what did he do?" He wasn't even that type of dude, whole time shorty a loose screw He walk around aiming at noodles, tryna take off left him clueless [Hook] I know growin' up in these streets it seem like it ain't no way out But just keep yo head up straight and you gon' make yo momma proud Never ever be a follower, watch who you hang around Now when you become [?], they gon' try to give you that crown I know growin' up in these streets it seem like it ain't no way out But just keep yo head up high and you gon' make yo momma proud Never ever be a follower, watch who you hang around Now when you become [?], they gon' try to give you that crown
