[Verse 1]
Listen look look now ask yourself a question is you real or is you fake
Do you sell a nigga dreams or do you stand on what you say
When they ask you where you from you bite your lip and hesitate
Or do you step back and chuck yo hood up in they face
Is you bangin' is you poppin' is you turn't up
And dope money keep the kush wrapped and burnt up
Ya hot boy bullets bustin' out ya granny's shit
You gangbangin' even though it got your family sick
Now what your life about does money motivate your actions
Is you stackin' or you lost the self satisfaction
Now ask is that your nigga or a snake in disguise
If that nigga give advice that'll lead to your demise
Just some questions
It's just some thoughts for the mind it's just some questions

[Verse 2]
Now ask yourself another question is you happy with your life
House behind a picket fence couple kids and a wife
Or do you see yourself standin' in a different light
Your ambitions of a hustla got u pumpin all night
Do you know where your goin' or what you come from
I was a slanger then a banger never a dumb dumb
So what is you when u shoot without a set aim
A body part takin' orders from the set brain listen what the set sayin'
I will kill without a cause death before dishonor for your niggas go hard
Now ask is that your nigga or a snake in disguise
If that nigga give advice that'll lead to your demise
Just some questions
It's just some thoughts for the mind it's just some questions

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.
