[Intro]
'Till the day that I die...
I got to be a, killer, then I... (Slauson)
I got to be a, killer, then I die (Nipsey Hussle in this)
I got to be (I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die)

[Verse 1]
Look, I hustle 'til the block done
'Til the motherfuckin' cops come
And shoot 'til the shot done
I'm servin' red rum from the shotgun
I'm bartendin' red rum from the shotgun
The dope potent hit your nose make your snot run
Certified pimp, I could probably knock your top nun
I'm from where if you don't knock, you get knocked on
Thunderdome, you don't sock, you get socked on
You come a boy, you leave a man, that's how I got grown
My real life is better than these niggas rap songs
Guns, money, bitches, and a fast car
Couple hundred thousand buried in my backyard
I'm a real nigga, I don't gotta act hard
Try me if you wanna, watch how I reverse that charge
Guns, money, bitches, and a fast car
Couple hundred thousand stashed in my backyard

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I'm from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die

[Verse 2]
Look, look, black Dickies, gold Rollie, blue colors
I'm hangin' out the window wit' the tool bustin'
Some off-brand shit, I heard the fool fussin'
I'm certified, they still think I'm tryna prove somethin'
The murder high, the dope blow, I'm tryna move somethin'
The spot rollin', now I'm swollen like I bruise money
Nigga I cruise luxury, up and down the broken blocks
In the city pumpin' poison like a [?]
I'm focused on my vision
I'm way too young to live the life that I'm livin'
But that's the life I was given
And God'll never give me somethin' I can never handle
And my flow is so hot like wet wax off a candle
I still bag crack and clear rap like a sample
And send Pams out of town to Atlanta for the stamp, uh
That's my answer, life's like cancer
Nigga, and I'm serious

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I'm from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I'm from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I'm from R.S.C 'til the day that I die
I be from R.S.C 'til the day that I die

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.
