[Kanye West:]
We in the streets player, get your mail
It's only 2 places you'll end up, either dead or in jail
Still nowhere to go...still nowhere to go
Now throw your hands up hustlas, bustas, boostas, hoes
Everybody, f** that
Still nowhere to go...still nowhere to go...
[Mos Def:]
2 words, United States, no love, no breaks
Low brow, high stakes, crack smoke, black folks
Big Macs, fat folks, ecstasy capsules
Presidential scandals, everybody move
2 words, Mos Def, K West, hot sh**
Calm down, get back, ghetto people, got this
Game ball, lock sh**, dump off, co*k sh**
We won't stop sh**, everybody move
2 words, BK, NY, Bed-Stuy
Too hard, too hungry, too many, that's why
These streets know game, can't ball, don't play
Every traffic, one lane, everybody move
Two words, Mos Def, black jack, hot sh**
Calm down, get back, ghetto people, got this
Game point lock, long pump co*ked
We won't stop, everybody move
Chorus: Kanye West (Harlem Boys Choir)
1 - Now throw your hands up hustlas, bustas (Throw your hands up high)
Boostas, hoes, everybody, f** that (ohhhhhh)
Still nowhere to go...still nowhere to go... (ohhhhhh)
2 - And keep your hands up hustlas, bustas (Till they reach the sky)
Boostas, hoes, everybody, f** that (ohhhhhh)
Still nowhere to go...still nowhere to go... (ohhhhhh)
[Kanye West] (Harlem Boys Choir)
Aiyyo, 2 words, Chi-town, South side, world wide
'cause I, rep that, till I, f**in' die
1 neck, 2 chains, 1 waist, 2 gats
1 wall, 20 plaques, dude's paid, gimme that
I am limelight, Blueprint, 5 Mics
Go get his rhyme like, should of been signed twice
Most imitated, Grammy nominated
Hotel accommodated, cheerleader, prom dated
Barbershop, player hated, mom and pop, bootlegged it
Felt like it rained till the roof caved in
2 words, Chi town, raised me, crazy
So I live by 2 words, "f** you, pay me"
Screamin' Jesus save me
You know how the game be
I can't let them change me
'cause on Judgment Day, you gon' blame me
Look God, it's the same me
I basically know now we get racially profiled
Cuffed up and hosed down, pimped up and hoe down
Plus I got a whole city to hold down
From the bottom so the top's
The only place to go now
And keep your hands up hustlas, bustas (Till they reach the sky)
Boostas, hoes, everybody, f** that (ohhhhhh)
Still nowhere to go...still nowhere to go... (ohhhhhh)
[Freeway:]
2 words, Freeway, 2 letters, A R
Turn y'all rap n***as to 2 words, fast runners
Like Jackie Joyner, you better sleep with your burner
The heat skeet, blow a reef through your car
My God, 2 words, load guns, break arms
Break necks, break backs, Steven Segal Free
Young boss, freshman of the Roc
If the beef in the pot Jay send for his dogs abroad
Forget your squad, better fend for yourself
Have you screamin' out four words "Send for the Law"
2 words, Freeway slightly retarded
f** around, throw a clip in your artist, leave with his broad...
