Lyrics

We in the streets, player, get ya mail It's only two places you end up: either dead or in jail Still nowhere to go (Nowhere to go) Still nowhere to go (Nowhere to go) Now throw ya hands up hustlers, busters, boosters, hoes Everybody, fuck that Still nowhere to go (Nowhere to go) Still nowhere to go (Nowhere to go) Listen, two words: United States, no love, no breaks Low brow, high stakes, crack smoke, Black folks Big Macs, fat folks, ecstasy capsules Presidential scandals, everybody move! Two words: Mos Def, K. West, hot shit Calm down, get back, ghetto people got this Game 'pon lock shit, gun 'pon cock shit We won't stop shit, everybody move!
