[Intro]
Cost units, what?
Oh, that's that
(Oh that must be ralo)
That's that uh
That's that fat nigga that's in their past, feelings bruh

At least, the fat boy
That nigga talking, rapping, whatever
That's your boy
Meet me on the far way, huh (LA)
Hussle, Hussle
Neighborhood niggas
Uh huh, you feel me?
Check it

[Verse]
Y'all niggas got me fucked up, thinking it's a game
You know my name, and nigga I ain't playing
So here's the program, you know Am
Right back on the block, with the sacks and the rock
Ready to rock, cause balling just my habit
You know my style, my locale is Cali
On the Westside, the best side
La, SC, the sixty blocks you know me
Nipsey is hot, for sure G
You heard his demo, nine tracks yeah nigga
Naw, fixed and all that
What's happening? What's cracking?
Oh, now you talking soft and under your breath
Like you ain't ready for death, well
You should have kept it to yourself, he flowing
Yeah, he said he rapped it up too, he did, shit was beautiful
Know how he coming through with the crew
That's what he do
'Cause what's the business, you know what he do
But not ready though, she feeling me 'cause I got plenty though
This how we do it
From around the way, they know my name
They know how I get down and play
Around the hood, I afford dangles all day
And make my cheese check traps in every way
The mind I'm in when I'm coming through spinning
In it to win it, tryna make a million by dinner
Like my nigga the set dribble off the bg
You know the block, Ricky hot, shots pop
Niggas getting off them rocks
I won't say the name but niggas holding down the block
Nigga, my cast, I dropped out of class
Wasn't paying no attention, I wasn't listening
I was thinking of the plots with me and my henchmen
Let's go out on the block and try to get it hot
I really don't, keep it cool, keep it cold
Under rocks 'cause I'm not trying to be trapped
Deep in the country or the peninentery, you telling me
Used to have to work under my hood or under my tongue
Our kids are ready, I felt wrong
I wonder why, I made all my dollars fucking other cousins

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.
