No way out
No way out
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
