[Chorus]
Been through everything, see it on our faces
Go against the grain, hundred rounds waitin'
Been around the world, hustle all places
But that '85 Cutlass is my foundation
Slauson Ave, nigga, but my hoes LACES
Palisades bitches, let me showcase you
Drive down the block, see my bro's faces
Keep it one hundred, nigga, no fakin'
Keep it one hundred, nigga, no fakin
Keep it one hundred, nigga, no fakin

[Verse]
Ballin' for real, I'm talkin' big money
Hundred thousand a show but that's my rent money
Four thousand a pound but that's my smoke budget
Fuckin' off at the mall, that's 'cause these hoes love it
I've been ballin' for a minute
I'ma grind, that's my motto 'til I get it
Full time, if you follow my commitment
You'll shine, nigga, that's a promise, make a killin'
Afghanistan in my shoe, red dynasty in my vision
Built this shit up from nothin', congratulations, you did it
I'm valet with a bitch and we at the Beverly Center
Sunlight hit them Rolex VVSs make a prism, glitter
On her face, two C's on her waist
Gold spikes on her heels
Purse match, she for real
Me basic, Famous and Naked
Black sacks, fit tee, prolly playin' Blue Laces in the Six
Bitches that strip fallin' for the Crip
She want me for my money, I tell her suck my rich
Make her fuck the clique
Then I lace my Chucks and split
I'ma RSC for real and I ain't never loved a bitch, nigga
Got money but I'm never one to switch
Live life under pressure but I never bust an itch
And real nigga be like, "Hussle, do your shit"
Hoes ask me if I ever was a pimp
What you think?

[Chorus]
Been through everything, see it on our faces
Go against the grain, hundred rounds waitin'
Been around the world, hustle all places
But that '85 Cutlass is my foundation
Slauson Ave, nigga, but my hoes LACES
Palisades bitches, let me showcase you
Drive down the block, see my bro's faces
Keep it one hundred, nigga, no fakin'
Keep it one hundred, nigga, no fakin'
Keep it one hundred, nigga, no fakin'

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.
