No More
3LW feat. Nas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday she walk by
See me on the same block
Same crew, like she never seen rocks
Chain watch, rims blue
Different color boots on, park Yukon
You predicates ex-cons, rip arms, bettin' chips
Puff medicine play my gangsta beats
Tunnel bangers, Flex, Clue tapes bang in the streets
I'm just a fly, thuggish baller shorty anxious to meet
Till I die keep wanting to head mink to the feet
But shorty jailbait, might get me five-to-life
Maybe in time you can be Nas's wife
Place school, study law
I'ma pay your tuition
Come on campus, buy you books
Do your babysitting
My unusual style make your future unwild
When you get older I'ma bless you with a child
See now you was unaware that this thug had affection
Let me be your angel and I'll be your protection

It's either you will
Either you won't
Sometimes you do
Sometimes you don't
Sometimes it's yes
Other times it's no
But I can't take it no more
Take your wrong and make it right
Just say you can make up your mind
Is it serious or isn't it?
'Cause I can't take it no more

Make 'em clap to this
Baby, baby you keep
Putting things before me
But I was there for you when you had nothing
So baby, baby
Basically it's them or me
Now or never
Give me all or nothing

It's either you will
Either you won't
Sometimes you do
Sometimes you don't
Sometimes it's yes
Other times it's no
But I can't take it no more
Take your wrong and make it right
Just say you can make up your mind
Is it serious or isn't it?
'Cause I can't take it no more

Make 'em clap to this
Baby, baby
You keep telling me you're changing
You promise you will be a better man
But no soon as you see your peeps
There you go switching out on me
And we're back at square one again

Don 3, can't get with me
Why y'all just a child-child
Maybe I can get you with little Sammie and Bow Wow
Please girls try to understand me now-now
Like my little sisters I'ma hold you down-down
Got the whole world in your hands
Three little women got these young boys tryna be their man
Do your thing shorty, but if they get disrespectful
Get on your cellphone, call big brother Esco
Now let's go

'Cause all this back and forth
In and out, ups and downs
Is beginning to wear me out
See, you gotta tell me now
Tell me now
Don't wait till the end
It's either me or your friends
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's either you will
Either you won't
Sometimes you do
Sometimes you don't
Sometimes it's yes
Other times it's no
But I can't take it no more
Take your wrong and make it right
Just say you can make up your mind




Is it serious or isn't it?
'Cause I can't take it no more

Overall Meaning

The song "No More" by 3LW feat. Nas is about a man trying to convince a woman to leave her wild lifestyle to be with him. Nas describes his attraction to the woman who walks by his block every day, surrounded by her gangster crew. He wants to be with her, take care of her, and change her future. However, he's hesitant because she's too young and might get him in trouble with the law. He promises to pay for her education and take care of her, but only if she chooses him over her current lifestyle.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the woman's indecisiveness and their back-and-forth relationship. She keeps putting other things before him, and he's tired of it. He wants her to make up her mind and choose him, otherwise, he can't take it anymore.

@darelamontagne2461

@crocop4life it’s a sample

@indianerehrenwort7211

I was still very young, too young to have really chosen to consume myself. My older sister often listened to this and other songs. Burned into my brain until today. Thank you sister! Only a masterpiece can make you reminisce.
