[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]
Fuck diss tracks, you get your shit splat
Before you ever heard me rap, I had to spit crack
Slimy rocks, crashed off, they find me shot
But doing numbers like Def Jam in the 90's pot
Much to their surprise I'm the fuckin' flyest
In the Chevy nigga playin' Pac, nigga, "Still I Rise"
Blue rag around my forehead, code red
Slauson Ave. infiltrate rap to take more bread
Quote it how you want, I just rolled a blunt
I'm sippin' lean in first class gettin' my shoulders rubbed
Streets talkin' so I'm listening with a loaded gun
Still all I hear is niggas sayin' I'm the chosen one
Champagne open one, watch it over-run
I heard him say a drunk mind speak a sober tongue
We're still adjusting to the changes
I been gettin' money but it's different when you famous
It been niggas famous but it's different when you bangin'
All these niggas hatin', all these police tryna hang you
What should you do? Decisions, your blood racing
Fresh out the county, trying to go platinum on probation
But no regrets, my nigga, just more bank
Just soak it all out, double back from both angles
Artists that label, no favors, no thank you
And rap about it all just to lace you
Pull up in cars with blunts large like Jamaicans
Sticky from bell sells, white broads named Rachel
Never broke code and I never made statements So the rules say, mute all false speculation
Greatness fooly, four words: self made, salute me
A lot of niggas watching now probably hate this movie, but fuck 'em
I'm so tired of the same discussion
I'm worth M's, niggas ain't made nothin'

[Chorus: Zeke]
No regrets now, I got it off my chest now
Since the womb, mama know that I'm a special
That's probably why she don't wanna 'notha level
Real never fall off, like fake bezels
Spirit over rebel, heart of a lion
All that's inside me, Is worth all this trying
Worth all this grindin'
'Cause I'm from the hood and we ain't scared about dying
Just want mine

[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
Success, I just want my fair share in life
In that self made I ain't tryna hear life
Still proud of what I look at in the mirror life
Hyde Park hustle, half baked on a Paris flight
I'm sippin' hot tea before I hit the stage
Earl grey, mother of pearl face
Forever I'm the flyest, we fuck on Chanel sheets
Count cash after shows, I spazzed on the globe
I passed all my goals, then I mapped out some more
On this never-ending road, I fix flats in the cold, boy
Respect how I master my role
And I made it all happen alone

[Chorus: Zeke]
No regrets now, I got it off my chest now
Since the womb, mama know I'm a special
That's probably why she don't wanna 'notha level
Real never fall off, like fake bezels
Spirit over rebel, heart of a lion
All that's inside me, Is worth all this trying
Worth all this grindin'
'Cause I'm from the hood and we ain't scared about dying
Just want mine

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.
