[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]
I dropped seven tapes and it was all the truth
Live my life just like a baller do
Meet a gang of girls and they all be cute
You can fall for me I can't fall for you
I'm in a CL-6 that's the baller Coupe
You fuck for cash you a prostitute
Go to school then girl I salute
And make a hunnid mill' what I'm 'bout to do
To knock my hustle ain't possible
Me kill you that's optional
Slauson ave I've made lots of moves
'Cause I'm a African that think like a Jew
I be doing me, watching you is my example of what not to do
My shoe strings stay Dodger blue
I had a hoop dream but then I caught the flu
'Cause the routine is still [?]
And you know I'm a do what I got to do
Picked up the sack, dropped the school
Went hard to the paint, bought some jewels
Switch up my thinking to the proper view
Hopped in this rap, paid all my dues
I was something like an Impala fool
I'm so LA, like a barbecue
These niggas talk a lot, but they wallets mute
I shop a lot, you know cars and shoes
When I hit the block, I still rock my jewel
But I ain't one of these niggas that got a lot to prove, nah
I got a lot to do
I wake up nigga to an awesome view
Way these labels tryna deal with rappers got me fuckin' mad like I'm watchin' roots!

[Hook: Nipsey Hussle]
Kunta, no no nigga like me
I don't know no nigga like me
I don't know no nigga like me
I don't know no nigga like me

[Verse 2: Trae tha Truth]
Yeah, haters call now they callin' harder
Truth flies same day departure
Played the bench until I made the starter
Used to play the ball but now I'm ballin' harder
Street nigga can't stay legit
Next check I get I might cop a brick
Keep a tool handy, getcha fixed
Asshole for life, it's kind of hard to switch
Follow follow my lead, I'm in front of the line
If I don't get it today, then I'm a get it with time
If I don't get it with rap, then I'm a get it with crime
Runnin' in yo' crib tryna hit her wit' nine
Two door Coupe, might cop that twice
Outside was mean, inside was nice
In the hood, I'm rollin', I ain't talkin' dice
Fully loaded choppa can't block ya' life
What I'm worth you can't hop the price, nigga
My advice: don't end up hurt, nigga
Play with me, I bet shit get real
I'm 10 deep with goons and they about that murk, nigga
I don't fuck with fuck niggas, I'm nothin' like 'em
Yeah the truth a trip, nigga, you wouldn't like 'em
These cars and tents, nigga, you wouldn't like 'em
All this shit I'm on, nigga, you wouldn't like' em

[Hook: Nipsey Hussle]
Kunta, no no nigga like me
I don't know no nigga like me
I don't know no nigga like me
I don't know no nigga like me

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.
