[Chorus]
Hey, soon as I step out on the scene
Cameras flash, get my cash right
Livin' like I'm stuck in a dream, must be that new money
Large and on the turnpike, shootin' up the shine bright
Mama how I wish you could see this new money
When I hop up out the jet jet, new money
Out the friendly skies, hey, know it's new money
Never goin' broke, my bank got new money
Mama how I wish you could see this new money

[Verse: Nipsey Hussle]
I stack rubber band racks, all tax get evaded
My sort of way of saying 'Fuck the system that enslaved us'
We want it all but won't let it all change us
So we don't respect players that's playin' to say they played it
To confident fools, I choose not to say shit
The rocks in my jewels are viewed as my language
I've been the shit, so I don't take it to the brain
When these pretty flight attendants compliment me on my fragrance
Louis on the baggage claim, Pirellis on the pavement
Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier scent
A hundred thousand plus monthly, yeah, I make it
But kept it on some S-dome on top of six braids shit
They see me on TV and swear to God I'm changin'
But ask BET if I was backstage blazin'
This new money got these old niggas hatin'
You better know my aim is amazin'
Bow, nigga

[Chorus]
Hey, soon as I step out on the scene
Cameras flash, get my cash right
Livin' like I'm stuck in a dream, must be that new money
Large and on the turnpike, shootin' up the shine bright
Mama how I wish you could see this new money
When I hop up out the jet jet, new money
Out the friendly skies, hey, know it's new money
Never goin' broke, my bank got new money
Mama how I wish you could see this new money+

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.
