[Chorus]
Why you niggas outside without no gun
You think this shit is a game?
But no, no, not at all
I'll hop out gunnin' and show you niggas I ain't playin'
Pull the trigger, shoot that nigga
Make sure that you get him
Cause bullets ain't got no names
Pull the trigger, shoot that nigga
Make sure that you get him
Cause bullets ain't got no names
Why you niggas outside without no gun
You think this shit is a game?
But no, no, not at all
I'll hop out gunnin' and show you niggas I ain't playin'
Cause bullets ain't got no names

[Verse 1]
Why you niggas act as if your body built to survive the shots
Knowing damn well after I get crackin' you gon' be outlined in chalk
The sun is shining and still it's raining
If you don't wanna get wet, then boy stop hanging
My hood is warring, so ain't no warnings
Niggas'll take your life, now your moms is mourning
I done seen it happen when we got crackin'
Six minutes later they got right back at us
Ten minutes later we was right back at them
My burner so hot it put a hole in my mattress
Bullets ain't got no names

[Chorus]
Why you niggas outside without no gun
You think this shit is a game?
But no, no, not at all
I'll hop out gunnin' and show you niggas I ain't playin'
Pull the trigger, shoot that nigga
Make sure that you get him
Cause bullets ain't got no names
Pull the trigger, shoot that nigga
Make sure that you get him
Cause bullets ain't got no names

[Verse 2]
The sun is shining and still it's raining
And you ain't gotta ask where he from, just spray him
By the look up on his face, you could tell he bangin'
See the look up on his face when that thing start ringin'
One down, two to go, suspect usual
Murder scene, the routine ain't new to you
Switch cars, double back, one down, double that
Yellow tape the gate where they niggas at
Some niggas need a bullet before they learn they lesson
You still ain't got your gun, you ain't got the message
My enemies they know, they say he got extras
When I come through I only got one question
("Why you niggas keep hangin' out?")

[Chorus]
Why you niggas outside without no gun
You think this shit is a game?
But no, no, not at all
I'll hop out gunnin' and show you niggas I ain't playin'
Pull the trigger, shoot that nigga
Make sure that you get him
Cause bullets ain't got no names
Pull the trigger, shoot that nigga
Make sure that you get him
Cause bullets ain't got no names

Nipsey Hussle

Ermias Joseph Asghedom (August 15, 1985 – March 31, 2019), better known as Nipsey Hussle, was a Grammy-award winning hip-hop artist and mogul from the Crenshaw district of South Central Los Angeles, California.

With a name inspired by actor Nipsey Russell, Nipsey Hussle released his first project, Slauson Boy Volume 1, in 2005, and he was featured in XXL’s 2010 Freshman Class alongside J. Cole, Big Sean, Freddie Gibbs, Wiz Khalifa, and Jay Rock among others. Nipsey gained national headlines in 2013 as he sold copies of his Crenshaw mixtape for $100 each. One customer was JAY-Z, who purchased 100 copies in support of Nipsey’s hustle. He then charged $1,000 per copy of his Mailbox Money mixtape in 2014 to continue his #Proud2Pay campaign.

After a decade of releasing several mixtapes and singles, Nipsey released his long-awaited debut album Victory Lap in 2018. The album was nominated in the Best Rap Album category at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
