Nipsey Hussle

I’m prolific, so gifted

I’m the type that’s gon’ go get it, no kiddin’

You don’t put a actress on the floor

You don’t ever frontline a war

You ain’t never headline a tour

Faced with this decision it’s a funny feeling

Knowing when you tell the truth they gon’ come and kill you

Ocean views, small circle, it’s a chosen few

I wrote it down then I followed through

I bought a pound and we rolled a few

I talk shit but she know it’s true

Me? I’m gettin’ back rubs from these leather seats (Yuh)

Negotiatin’ equity positions you’ll never be

Buyin’ Benzes, was buying buckets

Knock me off of my grind, that’s what they wasn’t

My life was ugly, and I got money

Caught a glimpse of that, but that’s not for me

We be chasin’ that coke money in the Bay, mayne

It’s the same everywhere in L.A., mayne

I’m so impatient, but I still wait

I still show love when I feel hate

No wishing on a star can turn your life into a dream

You could walk on water just don’t look down at your feet

Slauson Avenue, do you understand the averages?

The fact I’m still standing speaks volumes to my savages

Do I love it do I lust it? The struggle of a hustla

Life of a banger, and death is no stranger

This is just a small introduction to this Nipsey Hussle music

Guns, money and bitches, that’s the way that we do it

The sun is shining and still it’s raining

And you ain’t gotta ask where he from, just spray him

And all the flippers is watchin’ us, flipping them rockers

They on it ‘cause we gettin’ it proper

On the block

Nipsey Hussle born Ermias Joseph Asghedom is often sited as a rapper and songwriter from Los Angeles, California but he was much more than that.

This “beautiful tribute to a legendary artist” (Quincy Jones) is the first in-depth biography of Nipsey Hussle, the hip-hop mogul, artist, and activist whose transformative legacy inspired a generation with his motivational lyrics and visionary business savvy—before he was tragically shot down in the very neighborhood he was dedicated to building up.
