[Chorus]
If I get off will I fall back in those traps again?
If I fall off will I get back in those traps again?
If I get off, get off, will I fall back in those traps and do the same things again
If I get off will I fall back in those traps again?
If I get off, get off, will I fall back in those traps and do the same things again
If I fall off will I get back in those traps again?

[Verse 1]
Everything good go bad over time
It's a go cycle, life’s a twist
That's why I say fuck it, life's a bitch and I know
Me and money racking finna hit a lick and take it to the bank
Sick of sittin’ in the spot lane with a [?] in a hot place
Smokers thirsty finna hit a Thursday, nigga chirp me
You could meet up early on a five block
Front of granny house where they birthed me
Gotta fight for Friday, I seen that life highways
Flip or try me, two choices
One road to travel nigga where you going you could find me
In the front hood of the six-six
Used to pump good, got to G around the corner
Part waiting on this bitch, tell her come through
Enough guns for the whole crew
When I'm done what I'm gon' do?
Power move, get more pounds, send them out of town
Where a nigga finna touchdown to
Smokin' in the front room now
We get a car from a brawl with a getaway car
Said she cool now, never ever wanna hit another lick again
Said she wanna go to school now
Fucked up the whole mood now
Gotta flight up, gotta take a pounds waiting out of town
Now I'm gone

[Chorus]
If I get off will I fall back in those traps again?
If I fall off will I get back in those traps again?
If I get off, get off, will I fall back in those traps and do the same things again
If I get off will I fall back in those traps again?
If I get off, get off, will I fall back in those traps and do the same things again
If I fall off will I get back in those traps again?

[Verse 2]
As soon as a nigga touch down
My I-95 say 5:25
Couple hours up now, I cut it off on the flight down
'Posed to hit the lick at 9
It's 2 o’clock shallow time
Said you hit a nigga up when you passed
Hit a nigga on the line
No response, kinda nervous
I know the nigga ain’t pay full
Celly ain't got no service
Gotta make a quick phone call home
Let them niggas know the word
I hit my nigga Dom (Hello?)
In the background I heard the bird
Nigga breath easy, they got away clean 16 gs each
Money mob [?] with a quarter [?]
But he left his phone right up on the scene
Right up on the scene? What you mean he dropped it?
Chirp yeah
Now we on the spot with work
It’s getting hot fo' sho'
I wonder if they watchin'
Middle of the night when the fiends knockin’
I try to get some sleep but the dark keep me up
On the couch [?]
Probably parked in an unmarked or a Kia around the corner
Debating with the evidence, picture taking
Real locations

[Chorus]
If I get off will I fall back in those traps again?
If I fall off will I get back in those traps again?
If I get off, get off, will I fall back in those traps and do the same things again
If I get off will I fall back in those traps again?
If I get off, get off, will I fall back in those traps and do the same things again
If I fall off will I get back in those traps again?

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.
