[Verse]
Now if I break your heart, lil' momma, don't make a scene
You really mad at yourself 'cause you couldn't do it to me
Probably call me a failure if I ain't never achieved
I rather you call me cocky for livin' like I believe, that I'm a king
No sympathizin' with the fake or suprises from the snakes
It's flock season and I value my estate
So I bought some barbed wire 'case they tryna climb the gate
Houston Rocket on my waist
Hip-Hop cops on my case, but fuck 'em, more deposits in the bank
God damn a nigga straight, crooked letter on my face
I'm a fly crip but I rep my whole race
Couple of us eatin' good but everybody want a taste
They say, "Get with it or them niggas gon' take"
I say, "If you want fish, let me lead you to the lake"
But niggas lazy and I'm a late night, early mornin' nigga 25/8 Life wasn't easy growin' up, I had to make somethin' out of nothin'
If you struggled you relate
But now I'm straight, everything great
I don't need your help now, nigga, all of y'all late
That's why I made sure all of y'all shake
The way y'all ride dick I think all of y'all gay
Practice all night, ballin' all day
Sleepin' on the flights, when I land I get paid
I ain't got a boss, I am not a slave
Turnin' up my hustle is how I give myself a raise
And it's funny how people let money make 'em change
See you stickin' to the script then start rippin' out the pages of history, it ain't a mystery
If I died yesterday, my life would be a victory
These niggas sound stupid, sayin' they invented me
But arguin' with fools is a waste of energy
I'm a franchise player and a owner of the team
And they only envy me 'cause we on a winnin' spree

[Chorus]
Now, this the sound of my ceremony
The sweet smell of success, yes, I wear it on me
The Snoop Dogg lookin' nigga in the mirror told me
"Keep gettin' money, fuck bitches, and beware of homies"
'Cause Brutus killed Caesar, and Judas killed Jesus
But that's where I'ma leave it
'Cause they call it dry snitchin' if I take it any deeper

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.
