No Way Out
G.A.N. Lyrics

Uh, I'm from a place where they don't make it out
I hail from a location where it is challenging for people to achieve their goals and rise to success.

Me and my niggas tryna make it out
My friends and I are putting in efforts to break free from our current situation and make it in life.

Grew up with them goblins, we all came from the trenches
I grew up with my rough friends, and we all come from impoverished backgrounds.

Young niggas lived, learned lessons, we ain't wanna listen
We were young and foolish, made mistakes and didn't heed warnings.

We just was wilin', having fun, and made some bad decisions
We were enjoying our lives, taking risks and ended up making some bad choices.

But we was runnin' shit, No Limit, we ain't have to listen
We were confident in our abilities, feeling like we were on top, and didn't believe we needed to listen to anyone's advice.

I was like fifteen, remember I had the coldest winter
I recall being fifteen and suffering through an extremely cold winter.

We lost Lil Roc in February, White Folks was November
Our friend Lil Roc died in February, while White Folks passed away in November.

This was my freshman year of high school, we was just beginners
These events occurred when I was just a freshman in high school, and we were all new and inexperienced.

Skipped breakfast, woke up sliding, loading pipes for dinner
We were always on the move, barely had time for breakfast and spent our days loading guns for protection.

This all I knew, pop out, all my niggas wanna do
This was the only lifestyle I was familiar with - constantly on guard and always ready to take action with my friends.

Felt like a obligation, did what we was 'posed to do
We felt a sense of duty to protect our group and did what we felt was necessary to maintain our status.

G Faro lost his bro, I seen it drill a hole in you
My friend G Faro lost his brother, and I saw how much of an impact it had on him emotionally.

Said to myself, 'No matter what, I'll always roll with you'
I made a promise to be a loyal friend and stick with them through all challenges.

I'll always ride with you, pull up, homicide with you
I will always be there and have their back, even if it means getting involved in violent situations.

And for my brothers, it's whatever, 150 forever
For my friends, I am willing to do anything, and we will stick together through thick and thin.

No Limit tats on us forever, got that shit together
We have all gotten matching tattoos that signify our loyalty to each other and our shared belief in a limitless future.

We only tryna find the money, we ain't folding, never
We are only focused on making enough money to survive and never giving up or quitting along the way.

I look at myself as like the blueprint for my niggas
I see myself as a role model for my friends, someone who can lead them towards success.

Really just, you know what I'm saying, showing
I am simply guiding them and demonstrating the path to success.

A way of how to make shit better, not even
My goal is not necessarily to find a way out of our current situation, but rather to improve our lives and create a better future.

A way out, 'cause we young niggas, you know what
Our age and circumstances make it challenging to find a way out, but that doesn't mean we cannot strive for a better life.

I'm saying, we in this shit together, and really
We are all in this together, and everyone needs to work towards a better future for us as a group.

With me being in the streets, and all that shit
Given my lifestyle and the environment I live in, it is difficult to find an easy way out.

Everything that happened in my life, I ain't never
Everything that has occurred in my life, I have never,

Prayed, or you know what I'm saying, nothing like that, for no
I have never prayed or asked for an easy way out, or any kind of miracle,

Way out or to change what I got going on
I have accepted my situation and am working towards changing it.

Even with me having a relationship with God
Even though I have faith, I don't expect things to change without effort on my part.

'Cause I already knew what I was signed up for
I was aware of the difficult lifestyle I was entering and knew what to expect.

And everything in my life just played out, feel like it's destined for me
Everything that has happened to me felt predestined and that was the course of my life.

I came from hiding from the cops, running with my mans
I have experienced being on the run from the police and had to rely on my friends.

And getting blew at by the opps, ducking under vans
I have also had to avoid my enemies and their attacks.

To copping shit before it drop and counting hunnid bands
Now, I have moved towards making money by getting my hands on valuable goods before they go on the market and accumulating large sums of cash.

Tryna stay humble in the jungle, you don't understand
Despite my successes, I still try to remain humble and avoid letting it get to my head, but others might not realize this.

'Cause when you come from nothing, and turn that into something
When you start with nothing and make it into something big,

Niggas get to hating, ones you never seen was coming
People who you have never even met might start to dislike you because of your success.

But you ain't pussy, fuck them niggas, make you start stunting
Despite the hate, I won't back down and will start flaunting even more to prove that their words won't bring me down.

Get niggas pissed so they do something make you start bussin'
I might go out of my way to provoke my enemies into making a move, giving me a reason to escalate things.

And this the struggle of a young black nigga tryna make it
This is the ongoing challenge faced by young black men trying to improve their lives.

You livin' life, you gotta watch for niggas tryna take it
When you are successful, you need to be careful of those who might try to take your hand.

And can't surround yourself with niggas tryna down niggas, clown niggas
You can't associate with people who try to bring you or your group down or those who bring nothing but negativity.

Don't want work, just wanna be around niggas
You should avoid those who don't want to contribute or work towards a better future but only want to leech off others.

I had to show my niggas money is the way out
I had to demonstrate to my friends that financial success is the solution to our struggles.

Ain't gotta leave the gang, but if you broke, that's how you stay out
You don't need to abandon your friends and group, but if you are unable to make money, you will continue to face the same hardships.

And just moved Shanse out in a new crib, all the way out
I recently helped my sister Shanse move into a new, safe home far away from our previous dangers.

In a place I know my sis safe out
I know that my sister is now living in a secure place and no longer has to face the same risks we did previously.

'Cause my family, know I don't play 'bout
Because of my dedication to my family and their safety, they know I am willing to do anything to protect them.
