| GT’s, Diamondbacks, we was like ten
|
| Nighttime, city lights, was so exciting
|
| Seen the world out the window with my mama like ten
|
| Used to be a bucket, now she drives a Benz
|
| Black tint, presidential, with the AMG Kit
|
| Always had a way with women
|
| They say lifes a bitch, so I ain’t mad
|
| They just mad cause my lifes the shit
|
| I’m in a Jag' with a bad bitch, nice and thick
|
| Intelligent conversation, not the trifling chick
|
| Type a broad make a boss think he might commit
|
| And she got her own crib, she just like my dick
|

|
| 15 years old and I ain’t never left the 60's
|
| Pearl-handle .38, I always kept it with me
|
| Blue '85 Cutlass, everybody knows Nipsey
|
| Hanging out the window, swanging, rolling up endo
|
| Streets detrimental, we ain’t know what we was in for
|
| Shootouts in broad day, it was crazy
|
| 77th on Broadway, still we blaze heat
|
| When ducking shots turn to bustin' back and spraying blocks
|
| When selling weed went to copping coke and chopping rocks
|
| We going hard, had to give it all a nigga got
|
| Narrowly escaped back-gates when cops raid the spot
|
| My world spinning too fast, had to make it stop
|
| Take a seat, make a plan, then make it pop
|
| I made a record then he said he could make it drop
|
| And one shot is all a nigga need to take it to the top
|
| For the ones who don’t know
