After releasing a series of moderately successful mixtapes between 2010 and 2011, Future signed a major label deal with Epic Records and fellow American rapper Rocko's A1 Recordings, which helped launch his own label imprint Freebandz. Future subsequently began working on his debut studio album "Pluto," and in April 2012 released the album to positive reviews. The album spawned five singles, all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was later re-released in November, as "Pluto 3D." His second studio album "Honest," was released on April 22, 2014, and is also performing with his group Freeband Gang. He released his highly anticipated third studio album, "DS2," on July 16, 2015. The Atlanta rapper also released several mixtapes during 2015, "Beast Mode" in January, "56 Nights" in March, and "What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake)" in September. Future released "Purple Reign" in January 2016. The 13-track mixtape was executive produced by Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, with additional production from Southside, Zaytoven, and more.
Ain't No Way Around It
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no way around it
Ain't no way around it
Ain't no way around it
A bitch gon' be a bitch
A hoe gon' be a hoe
A killer gon' be a killer
Ain't no way around it, ain't no way around it
A dealer gon' be a dealer
A player gon' be a player
My niggas, them my niggas, they just like blood
Ain't no way around it, ain't no way around it
I had a young, hot thang fucked my bro and gave 'em brain
And she expect for me to love her, I can never be a lame
I'm attracted to her sexually, but she ain't my main dame
We can be the best of friends, shawty, but you off the chain
See I ain't gonna hold it against ya
I'ma keep it pimpin' with ya
Don't you come at me with issues
Ain't tryna get all in your mixture
I ain't tryna come to get ya
You can meet me somewhere on Peachtree
At the W on the Fourteenth ain't tryna fuck no hoe tryna know me
Know they fuck my woodie, already smashed on home beach
Half of these bitches phony, singing love songs like Toni
Ms. Braxton you the action, stop actin'
Just another sad love song waitin' to happen
A bitch gon' be a bitch
A hoe gon' be a hoe
A killer gon' be a killer
That's sumthin' you need to know
Ain't no way around it, ain't no way around it
A dealer gon' be a dealer
A player gon' be a player
My niggas, them my niggas, they just like blood
Ain't no way around it, ain't no way around it
Strapped with that flame and he ready to bust a brain
You can't tell the homie nothing, he done felt too much pain
He don't care nuttin' 'bout no fame, he addicted to the game
Some niggas rob, some niggas slang, do whatever to maintain
Travel all the way to Waco, get them numbers for the low-low
Bigger the risk, the bigger the check, we watch for po-po
Make sure you keep your eyes on, when you're drivin' down 1-0
That interstate ain't no joke when you're ridin' with Coco
When you got hands like these you can count money with your eyes closed
When you spend cheese like this you send killers to niggas front door
Half of these niggas front fo', bitches for extra convo
Really plugged in with migo, go blind and still can see notes
A bitch gon' be a bitch
A hoe gon' be a hoe
A killer gon' be a killer
That's sumthin' you need to know
Ain't no way around it, ain't no way around it
A dealer gon' be a dealer
A player gon' be a player
My niggas, them my niggas, they just like blood
Ain't no way around it, ain't no way around it
