Callin’ Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shanell] We out here, we hood rich We getting by, we run a snitch The corner store, the duplex The bootleg, the barbed wire fence The blue lights, the red lights Shine on every street sign [Chorus: Shanell] A lifestyle for the ones that know We're holding up, we're calling out like, "Yeah" See me calling from the ghetto, screaming, "Eh" Call it out, let me hear you say, "Yeah" Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, ooh [Verse 2: Shanell] That 808 (808), the black tint (Black tint) The chalk lines on the cement (On the cement) The barbershop (Barbershop), the double Dutch (Double Dutch) The fish fry on the yacht in the front Either you boss up or fall back Learn to stay up on your own track [Chorus: Shanell] A lifestyle that we know We're holding up, we're calling out like, "Yeah" ("Yeah" calling out from the ghetto) Hear me calling from the ghetto, screaming, "Eh" ("Yeah" calling out from the ghetto) Call it out, let me hear you say, "Yeah" Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah [?] [Verse 3: Gudda Gudda] I'm not preaching, I'm far from an activist I'm just speaking for the wolves and the savages I had a dream about living on an island Until I woke up in a cold sweat, stomach growling Life changes every day, I make changes every day Kept my head to the clouds and watched the pain slip away I'm the rose that blossomed out that concrete Five nine, I walk around like I'm nine feet Moment of silence for the people in a better place I hope I make it there, for heaven's sake From the hood to award shows I'm on my grind, no sleep like NoDoz Tryna get some more revenue Instead of sitting on the block or the avenue Yeah, can you hear me screaming out to you? It's not about what we did, it's what we 'bout to do [Chorus: Shanell] See me calling from the ghetto, screaming, "Eh" Call it out, let me hear you say, "Yeah" Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah
