[Intro]
Music
Cookin' Soul'
Uh, uh
It's Hussle
It's Hussle, yeah
Where we left off on volume 2, I'ma pick you back up on volume 3
You know, uh
You gotta get up and go make this shit happen, my nigga
I told you
Every day my shit get bigger and better, my nigga
I was just in the county jail, nigga
No bail, nigga
Look, look

[Verse]
That I would be the best rapper, yeah, I knew it then
Used to tell my mama 'bout the houses we'll be movin' in
'Cause fast money took my focus off this music shit
'Til Johnny Shines introduced me to his Jewish friend
Damn, before you ball, gotta grind first
'Cause the Palazzo's a far cry from Brynhurst
Them niggas never really figured that it might work
I had faith, gave my life, now my life's worth
So much more than money's ever meant
I'm gettin' love in every city you ain't never been
The Sheriff told me roll it up, was focused ever since
Dreams come true, young nigga, I'm the evidence
That's only if you put the effort in
Some of 'em gon' die, others'll get life in the pen
Now, just sit with that and let it sink in
Now get your money up and make sure you ain't one of them
Hussle

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.
