[Intro]
Niggas be nervous on the mic
I’m real comfortable
Look

[Verse 1]
Count my dough and smoke up
I’m from California
Mean my weed is potent, all my bitches go up
Where you from? So what?
Ah, y'all niggas so tough?
All you niggas so broke
All my niggas so up
California sown up, and I’m still a owner
And I’m on my shit, smellin' my aroma
Fuck you niggas, watch this
Roley with no toc tic
Oops, I mean no tic toc
Never took no pit stop
Every time my shit drop
Victory for hip-hop
Never mind my title, I’m the up and coming Michael
All I got is ice on, skinny as a rifle
Still my pockets fat, nigga, bitches need some lipos

[Chorus]
Pull up in drop coupes
Hopped in them V12’s
Went from them mixtapes, shut down retail
Switchin' my line nigga, she hittin' my Twitter, fool
Niggas is sprung on pussy
Me, I’m just payin' dues

[Verse 2]
Built my foundation strong, now I live like a boss
Even good niggas hate you, but fuck you, I'll kill you all
Sippin' that lean, huh? But niggas not trill at all
Niggas is playin' with me, like sushi ain’t really raw
Like guns don’t really kill, and bullets ain’t really hot
Like I ain't a fuckin' fool, 2000-and-20 Pac
He said hit 'em up, X said shut 'em down
I been going hard, ain’t no stopping now

[Chorus]
Pull up in drop coupes
Hopped in them V12’s
Went from them mixtapes, shut down retail
Switchin' my line nigga, she hittin' my Twitter, fool
Niggas is sprung on pussy
Me, I’m just payin' dues

[Verse 3]
I can’t see the ceiling, y'all can’t see the reason
I keep killin' niggas, but I can’t leave em breathin'
Bro said do it to 'em, I’m gon' do it to 'em
See these brick walls? I keep on going through 'em
They can't stop it, nigga, this my profit, nigga
It’s my real sweat, y'all ain’t killed shit
But if you a real nigga, had to do real shit
Come from a real struggle, hustle and deal shit
Promise you feel this, know that you fearless
All of my real Bloods, all of my real Crips
Doing her thang for you, shout out that real bitch
Hop on them planes, nigga, taking them field trips

[Chorus]
Pull up in drop coupes
Hopped in them V12’s
Went from them mixtapes, shut down retail
Switchin' my line nigga, she hittin' my Twitter, fool
Niggas is sprung on pussy
Me, I’m just payin' dues

[Bridge]
Ain’t no excuse for my failures
My success, no apologies
All that I own
Absolute honesty
Keep it 100
But that’s what they all say

[Chorus]
Pull up in drop coupes
Hopped in them V12’s
Went from them mixtapes, shutdown retail
Switchin' my line nigga, she hittin' my Twitter, fool
Niggas is sprung on pussy
Me, I’m just payin' dues

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.
