No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
What it do
Caught without the crew
I'ts just me and you
Face to face
Got'em looking blue
Like he don't have a clue
He wanna run
But he to scared to move
He don't know what to do
He with his boo
Trying to play it cool
Lil homie we ain't cool
Like oral sex play with yourself
Before you play with me
Better believe I'm outside
Looking for you like hide and seek
I'm not the one or the number two
Three or the number four
Soldier like G.I Joe
Smoke from the manifold
Like to smile a lot
But I never ever been a joke
Don't make me run you down
Cause you only making things worse
Shooting your shot not paying attention
Don't know who you aiming for
Dump'em in Thompson Creek
Nobody will never know
Take your lil bitty beef
Turn it to lunch meat
Silence the chopper
So nobody will never know
No need for yellow tape
It won't be a crime scene
How you say that you want a war
Knowing your army ain't strong enough
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
The song "No Way No How" by C.S is a powerful and aggressive track about standing up for yourself and not backing down from anyone. The repeated phrase "No way out" serves as a reminder that there is no escape from the consequences of one's actions. The verses describe a confrontation between C.S and someone who has crossed him, and C.S makes it clear that he is not to be messed with.
In the first verse, C.S finds himself alone with the person he has a problem with. He describes the other person as looking "blue" and scared, and implies that he could easily overpower them. He also suggests that the other person is trying to act tough in front of their partner ("Trying to play it cool/Lil homie we ain't cool"). C.S uses a sexually explicit metaphor to emphasize his dominance ("Like oral sex play with yourself/Before you play with me"), and warns the other person not to mess with him ("Better believe I'm outside/Looking for you like hide and seek").
The second verse describes C.S's willingness to resort to violence if necessary, and his lack of concern about the consequences ("Dump'em in Thompson Creek/Nobody will ever know"). He mocks the other person for talking about wanting a "war" when they are clearly not prepared for one ("Knowing your army ain't strong enough"). Ultimately, the song is a warning to anyone who might try to mess with C.S, and a statement of his own strength and confidence.
