[Intro: Nipsey Hussle]
~#**************#~
Hit-Boy
~#**************#~
G. Ry got me
~#**************#~
Look
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]
~#**************#~
Fuck rap, Im a street legend, block love me with a deep reverence
~#**************#~
I was birthed in a C-section
~#**************#~
Hella cops and police presence
~#**************#~
We got opps so we keep weapons, we on yall block while yall eat breakfast
~#**************#~
A lot of shots, we broke street records
~#**************#~
Watch how you talk, I got reflexes, watchin your cheap necklace
~#**************#~
Then we slide out the East exit
~#**************#~
But every time we get to fuckin niggas up, TMZ catch it
~#**************#~
Yall still learnin street lessons?
~#**************#~
From the mastermind, first you master grind, then your team catch it
~#**************#~
This time it’s for the money, I dont need credit
~#**************#~
And Im the don cause the streets said it, look
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle, Big Sean & Both]
~#**************#~
Fuck rap, Im a street legend
~#**************#~
And Im the don cause the streets said it
~#**************#~
Block love me with a deep reverence (Yeah, woah)
~#**************#~
And Im the don cause the streets said it (Yeah)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
And I got pressure on me
~#**************#~
Seven days a week, its game seven on me
~#**************#~
Lifell test you out, you live through that, thats testimony
~#**************#~
Givin them hell, but how in the hell I got all these blessings on me?
~#**************#~
Most of the girls I know addicted to social media
~#**************#~
All the time they put in, they couldve wrote encyclopedias
~#**************#~
Mama said it only takes one time to fuck up your whole Wikipedia
~#**************#~
And as your son, I can see the type of light that you see me in
~#**************#~
After what happened to Nipsey, I reached out to Kendrick
~#**************#~
It wasnt even no real issues there to begin with
~#**************#~
Lack of communication and wrong information
~#**************#~
From people fueled by their ego, its like mixin flames with diesel
~#**************#~
Energy crazy, I realized that its a two-way street
~#**************#~
Whats comin is goin, if it dont give you more, it drains you
~#**************#~
Should be a billionaire based on the time off Im not takin
~#**************#~
Probably why this shit with me get crazy and we lost a baby
~#**************#~
And everybody around me think Im the one
~#**************#~
But we all just one of ones, and Im walkin out the crib
~#**************#~
They ask me where Im goin, I told them, “Im going on another ten-year run”
~#**************#~
Niggas is bangin over blocks that they dont own, thinkin thats home
~#**************#~
Boy, you think thats where you from? You dont really know where you from
~#**************#~
You dont how deep your roots is or what your ancestors had done
~#**************#~
So, God bless all of the sons and daughters
~#**************#~
Who knew they history so they knew where to take it farther
~#**************#~
And all the ones that stuck with me like good barbers
~#**************#~
Lookin at my life story, Gods a good author
~#**************#~
Never was the loudest in the room, we move like ninjas
~#**************#~
And if it cost your peace of mind, it might be too expensive
~#**************#~
So I cant give you everything that you want from me for free though
~#**************#~
Get you one shot in life, you might not be able to reload
~#**************#~
So advanced, I need all my advances
~#**************#~
Bro hit me up for cash like we didnt have the same chances
~#**************#~
My dad hit me up like, “Why I dont live in a mansion?”
~#**************#~
Im tryna focus, but baby girl keep holdin my mind for ransom
~#**************#~
And that aint how it supposed to be, this man Hov got to a B
~#**************#~
And his name Shawn too, I almost felt like it was me
~#**************#~
Damn, I realized all my setbacks were inside of me
~#**************#~
In high school, I learned chemistry, biology
~#**************#~
But not how to cope with anxiety
~#**************#~
Or how I could feel like Im by myself on an island
~#**************#~
With depression on all sides of me (Damn)
~#**************#~
With a Glock seventeen right on the side of me (Hol up)
~#**************#~
Look, I aint think I had the thought of suicide in me
~#**************#~
Until life showed me all these different sides of me
~#**************#~
Too many times I thought the reaper was outside for me (Ooh)
~#**************#~
And how the fuck its people that never met me that hate me?
~#**************#~
I wonder if they understand that I meditate daily
~#**************#~
And feel like my life purpose is to give inspiration
~#**************#~
Despite the hit songs that theres just no escapin
~#**************#~
That I take care of my family and beat the odds that were deadly
~#**************#~
You hate that, that just reflects your lack of succession, bless em
~#**************#~
If it aint Nipsey blue, its Detroit blue
~#**************#~
This that Detroit 2, Im bringin it back to my hood like d-boys do
~#**************#~
Gone (Gone)
~#**************#~
[Outro: Nipsey Hussle & Comic J Will]
~#**************#~
So, the collaboration though, with Nipsey and who?
~#**************#~
Aw man, Id probably say Payroll, eh, or Tee Grizzley
~#**************#~
Me and Big Sean talked about doin somethin recently, too
~#**************#~
So, you know, all of them, Ima, Ima tap in with all of Detroit
~#**************#~
Fuck rap, Im a street legend
~#**************#~
Block love me with a deep reverence
