Instead of Nipsey |
| Hit a lick and got some lows, put that shit on every curb |
| She keep sayin' that it’s over, she too good, I don’t deserve her |
| Everybody want a favor for some shit that they ain’t earn |
| Some nights I can’t sleep |
| Starin' at the walls, thinkin', «Why they wanna kill me?» |
| Feel like they don’t love me |
| Sometimes I wish they took me instead of Nipsey |
| Father, we’ve been mislead, I can’t understand the picture |
| Killin' more niggas every year, while the white man gettin' richer |
| My homie in the feds, he ain’t comin' home for Christmas |
| Gotta know how to play, they don’t play fair in that system |
| I-I-I got niggas slidin', three, four, posse up in the rental |
| I know they dislike me, they DM say, «I'm gon' kill you» |
| Diamonds dance like Michael, how’d we glow up from these crystals? |
| All this hate around me, we can’t grow up from these pistols |
| I-I-I got niggas that’s hatin', I gave 'em so many chances |
| I know shorties that’s starvin', I went and gave 'em these faces |
| They look at me like their father, like I’m gon' give 'em the answers |
| Same niggas that doubted, just gotta cut off the cancer |
| What he know about the hood? |
| He went Hollywood, damn |
| What he know about the hood when he got it good? |
| Yeah |
| We was born broke, got up, had to get it, yeah, yeah |
| Worried 'bout them millions and I still ain’t finished yeah, yeah |
| I put this music in my soul, put this shit in every word |
| Hit a lick and got some lows, put that shit on every curb |
| She keep sayin' that it’s over, she too good, I don’t deserve her |
| Everybody want a favor for some shit that they ain’t earn |
| Some nights I can’t sleep |
| Starin' at the walls, thinkin', «Why they wanna kill me?» |
| Feel like they don’t love me |
| Sometimes I wish they took me instead of Nipsey |
| If the documentary dangerous, we still gang-bangin' |
| If doctor say he was crazy, then why they have to frame him? |
| I got guardian angels, I hope they brought their bangers |
| Threaten my life daily, but I’m ready for them haters |
| Sixty years later, world still segregated |
| Them '60s and them '80s, they still retaliatin' |
| We all got them same faces, it’s funny to them racists |
| They been tryna separate us since Dominicans and Hatians |
| P-p-politicians be crazy, they never give us no answers |
| But we still actin' crazy, they’ll never give us no leverage |
| Why must we lose a legend for it to bring us together? |
| Marathon gon' continue and gon' continue forever |
| What he know about the hood? |
| He went Hollywood, damn |
| What he know about the hood when he got it good? |
| Yeah |
| We was born broke, got up, had to get it, yeah, yeah |
| Worried 'bout them millions and I still ain’t finished yeah, yeah |
| I put this music in my soul, put this shit in every word |
| Hit a lick and got some lows, put that shit on every curb |
| She keep sayin' that it’s over, she too good, I don’t deserve her |
| Everybody want a favor for some shit that they ain’t earn |
| Some nights I can’t sleep |
| Starin' at the walls, thinkin', «Why they wanna kill me?» |
| Feel like they don’t love me |
| Sometimes I wish they took me instead of Nipsey |
| …niggas in the street, no matter how hood you is |
| How much of a killer you is, how much dope you done sold |
| How much shit you done robbed, how much you doin' from your shoulders |
| A mothafucka don’t want a negative lifestyle |
| So I feel like your job once you become successful or semi-successful |
| Or get your foot in the door is to game your niggas up |
| Take that world from in front of their eyes, you know what I mean? |
| And just show 'em like, you got options |
| You got other things you could do aside from risking your freedom to pay your |
| bills |
| Or being stuck in a mentality of segregation and genocide |
| Killing your own niggas, killing your own folks |
