[Intro]
Yuh, Nip Hussle in this motherfucker
Rallo, what up?
Look

[Verse 1]
My top down, your name hot now
But when I was out here, nigga, you was not 'round ('Round)
Was in the game, but I just watch now
I did rims so my shit stock now (Ayy)
Suede, hit, linin' on the roof
Don't be lyin' on the facts, niggas lyin' in the booth
When we travel around the world, we flyin with a suitcase Stamped Louis Vuitton with Cuban cigar
Miami, Ocean Ave, couple beautiful broads
On the back of motorbikes, ain't no use for a car
I'm outta town, so the coupe is at large
And this, jealous of success, niggas usually are
But, I dont give a fuck, I ain't trippin' though
Nigga gettin' desperate while I'm gettin' dough
Oh, you love that bitch? Better get ya hoe
And I ain't gotta tell you why, you already know

[Chorus]
One-One-Once in a lifetime shit
She ain't never been fucked in a drop top Benz
That's why when I pull up, she quick to get in
I'm a boss, young nigga, get some paper and a pen
Class is in session, rap 'til I'm restless
'Cause constant repetition is the path to progression
Class is in session, rap 'til I'm restless
'Cause constant repetition is the path to progression

[Verse 2]
Take that and run with it, you should get some cash (Cash)
Way back as young niggas, we was livin' fast
Heavy on the grind, South Central State of mind
Type of nigga buy a pound, break it all down in dimes
Baby blue regal, 1985
Gold Rollie on my neck, 380 in my spine
It was a lot of things that was runnin' through my mind
All of which I would bring to myself, in due time
And now I'm watchin' ring put a strain on her eye
Fireworks in my sleeve, the 4th of July
Waist line Louis, stay fly truly
Can't fuck with me with a rubber or a roofie
Hoes try to choose me, haters try and shoot me
Feds wanna book me and these bitches wanna screw me
Ex-street nigga turned boss, that's the routine
And you would have extras if your life was a movie

[Outro]
Yuh (Yuh, yuh, yuh)
Catch my breath, that's a whole lot of words, you know
This is the marathon
New shit, Neighborhood Nip Hussle, let's get it

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.
