[Chorus]
I ain’t got the patience to talk to these niggas ‘cause they slow
Fuck around and bark on these niggas now they now
Niggas won’t respect you ‘til you empty out your clip
‘Cause actions is everything and words mean shit
I ain’t got the patience to talk to these niggas ‘cause they slow
Fuck around and bark on these niggas now they now
Niggas won’t respect you ‘til you empty out your clip
‘Cause actions is everything and words mean shit

[Verse 1]
That’s why, that’s why, that’s why I’m still up in the hood
Burner on my lap, just to get it understood
Multi-million dollar deals just sittin’ on the table
On the dope block posted forty Glock by my navel
Get the picture nigga, I can take your life away
Plus a pimp nigga, I can take your wife away
Babies havin’ babies, kids killin’, yeah that’s life today
Better get a pistol, fuck praying for a brighter day
Crease up on my jeans, gold chain up on my white tee
I shine, that’s why them dirty motherfuckers they don’t like me
I promise I, try to do the right thing like Spike Lee
Despite these efforts niggas still got extras
So I’ma get it crackin’, bust off and let y’all have it
I’m comin’ from a hood where killin’ niggas is a habit
Everybody did it, everybody done it
Everybody with it, so tell me how you want it, blah!

[Chorus]
I ain’t got the patience to talk to these niggas ‘cause they slow
Fuck around and bark on these niggas now they now
Niggas won’t respect you ‘til you empty out your clip
‘Cause actions is everything and words mean shit
I ain’t got the patience to talk to these niggas ‘cause they slow
Fuck around and bark on these niggas now they now
Niggas won’t respect you ‘til you empty out your clip
‘Cause actions is everything and words mean shit

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.
