[Intro: Jay Rock]
Jay, I like this
What's up, Nipsey?
Red and blue make green
Streets of L.A., muthafucka!

[Verse 1: Jay Rock]
Coming straight after niggas, a crazy motherfucker named Jay Rock
I'm turned up, 'cause I'm from Bonnie on the Watts
Choppers on the block, choppers on the roof
Bustin' at the crooked cops, rippin' through the bulletproof
Los Angeles, welcome to the city zoo
Tigers, bears, lions, don't make me let 'em loose
I'm leaning off the Goose, smoking on some kush
Me and Nip Hussle off the bubble, California crooks
Got thesе niggas shook, what you scared for?
What, you never seen a B-dawg in thе low?
Getting dough like yeast, blocking off every street
Chunking up the set, and I'm fly as two-tone Caprice
The waters run deep, I guess I'm a shark
'Bout to rip the industry apart, play your part
I get left for dead, leave him on the curb
With a bullet in his head, that's how Jay Rock serves
It's just a cold heart session on my nigga Nipsey music
Money on the gang, six O's, we do it
You put them shines on, we take them shines home
Holla to the hood, let them get they grind on
Let them flags hang, nigga, (Streets of L.A Motherfucker) we gettin' paid
Red and blue make green, see the game change
Yeah, we 'bout our money now
Yeah, we 'bout our money now

[Verse 2: Maino]
Player, I get bullet-proof love
All the doves love me (yeah!)
Hands down, I'm the realest nigga in the country (oh!)
Your arms too short, you lames can never touch me (nope!)
You really think I'm pussy, oh yeah? Then come and fuck me
I'm rolling, this is my life, it's not a song (uh-huh!)
I really pack guns as long as my right arm
I'm a problem, can't solve 'em, gotta add 'em
Can't subtract some, man I'm wildin' and spazzin'
The smoke from the fifth (uh), the shells in the glass and (yeah)
They can only see my eyes from the mask and
All the way to Cali, what's poppin', my G?
I really run Brooklyn, nothing poppin' but me (yo)
Got weed on cakes, got killers and fo' green (yeah)
Platinum vision and Lamborghini dreams (yeah)
Hustle hard, nigga (hustle hard), we move like the Panthers
Black bandanas, you see us, we throw the flags up

[Interlude: Nipsey Hussle]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's happening?
It's ya boy neighborhood Nip Hussle
Ayy, Maino, Pass that Patron, my nigga
Jay Rock, give me the weed, my nigga
(DJ Nik Bean, muthafucka!)

[Chorus]
I got a bottle of the finest, I keep a bad bitch
A hunnid stacks stashed in the brown paper bag (uh)
Money in, I'm puttin' all my money in
Now let the bass crank big in your trunk, man
This swisha sweet, same color as my wood grain (smoke with me)
More money, and I'm puttin' all my money in

[Verse 3: Nipsey Hussle]
Look, It's Nip Hussle in the house, I'm 'bout my paper
Money is a bitch, then I'm a rapist 'cause I take it
It's funny niggas spit about the game like they a player
Ain't Shaq or Kobe so they just another Laker
Lot's changed since the N.W.A's
And the Dr. Dres went and made gangbanging famous
They got rich while my city on the same shit
That's why every bullet in my clip remain nameless
Chrome feet, leather seats, lyrically I'm ecstasy
Better than you ever, ask your bitch, I bet she feelin' me
First-class flight, land right where the cheddar be
Swag through the roof, it's up there where the weather be
Some niggas sell dope, rob banks and catch felonies
While others buy real estate, live up off that equity
The only difference is the gang
So, niggas, use your brain, Slauson boy, Nip Hussle is the name

[Chorus]
I got a bottle of the finest, I keep a bad bitch
A hunnid stacks stashed in the brown paper bag (uh)
More money, and I'm gettin' on my money
And I'ma let the bass crank big in your trunk, man
This swisha sweet, same color as my wood grain (smoke with me)
More mo-ney, and I'm puttin' on my money and (West Coast!)

[Outro: Nipsey Hussle]
Shoutout to my cinematic peoples
Stripes, [?], my man Shawn, what it do?
Yeah, South Central state of mind
Dropping December '09
Cop it when they drop it

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.
