[Chorus]
All my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Want a slice, got to roll the dice
That's why all my life, I been grindin' all my life, look
All my life, been grindin' all my life (Yup)
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price (Woah)
Want a slice, got to roll the dice
That's why all my life, I been grindin' all my life, look

[Verse 1]
I'm married to this game, that's who I made my wife
Said I'd die alone, I told that bitch she probably right
One thing that's for sure, not a stranger to this life
Got a safe that's full of Franklins and a shoulder full of stripes (Ah)
Don't know a nigga like myself
I say self-made meanin' I designed myself
County jail fades, you could pull my file yourself
Spot raid, swallow rocks, I'm gettin' high myself
Look, and damn right, I like the life I built
I'm from Westside, 60, shit, I might got killed
Standin' so tall, they think I might got stilts
Legendary baller like Mike, like Wilt
'96 Impala, thug life on wheels
Up against the walls, squabble at Fox Hills
Like a motherfuckin' boss, ask me how I feel
Successful street nigga touchin' them first mils (Woah)

[Chorus]
All my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Want a slice, got to roll the dice
That's why all my life, I been grindin' all my life, look
All my life, been grindin' all my life (Yup)
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price (Woah)
Want a slice, got to roll the dice
That's why all my life, I been grindin' all my life, look

[Verse 2]
I got everythin' I said I was gon' get, on my kid
In addition to that fact, I went legit, I'm the shit
Now accordin' to the way that I'm positioned in this biz
It look like I'm just gon' keep on gettin' rich (Ah)
Know them Westside RSCs is us
LAPD on my dick, I'ma squeeze and bust
If a rap nigga diss, Swiss cheese his bus
All this rap money, nigga, look, I need too much
Money, loyalty and love, in the dream we trust
You be switchin' up the players on your team too much
Tiny Cobby, that's my Loc, Young Supreme, what's up?
Ain't we travel 'round the world gettin' cream or what?
Ain't you get off on whoever Hussle seem to rush?
Las Vegas, strip pop, yeah, you creamed them punks
After all that lookin' tough, all he seen was stumps
50 Cent and Mayweather fleed the scene with us
True story

[Chorus]
All my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Want a slice, got to roll the dice
That's why all my life, I been grindin' all my life, look
All my life, been grindin' all my life (Yup)
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price (Woah)
Want a slice, got to roll the dice
That's why all my life, I been grindin' all my life, look

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.
