Nipsey Hussle Lyrics

You like the way I play the cards that I'm dealt, huh
You admire how I handle the difficult situations that life presents to me

You like how I came up and stayed myself, huh
You appreciate how I have remained true to who I am despite my success

All that shit I said on my tapes niggas felt, huh
The lyrics that I wrote for my music resonated with and were meaningful to many people

Got it, can't lose it gotta turn it into wealth, huh
I have a talent and drive that I must use to create wealth and financial success for myself and those closest to me

Like how I go hard and never fell, huh
You admire my determination and work ethic, as I have never given up despite challenges and setbacks

Like I how stayed down and lift the world up
I have remained humble and grounded despite my success, and have used it to help others and make the world a better place

I sold out judging by the sales, huh
My music has been very successful commercially, as evidenced by its high sales

I'm a heavyweight judging by the scales, huh
I am very successful and powerful, as measured by both my financial wealth and the influence I have on others

My name ring bells plus it sell tickets
My reputation and fame are so great that they draw large crowds to my concerts

As I push past these thousands to these mil tickets
Through my hard work and dedication, I have been able to go from playing small venues to large arenas and selling millions of tickets

Hatin' niggas get some bread you gon' feel different
People who are jealous or critical of me would view me differently if they had the same level of financial success as I do

And you can feel Nip from looking at the world different
My unique perspective and worldview are evident in my music and my success as an artist

All black kids all trapped in
Black children are often stuck in difficult situations and have limited opportunities in life

All waitin' on a day that we can back in
We all hope for a better future in which we can achieve our goals and live more prosperous lives

The all black Benz with the black tint
Symbolizes financial success and luxury that many black people aspire to

Cause now you worth something, nigga that's what that meant
Having financial success and wealth makes you valuable and respected in society

Gold rollies, gold cubans
Expensive gold watches and chains that represent wealth and status

Made what you make off going gold way before music
I have been successful in business and entrepreneurship before I even started making music

Keep them squares out my circle, nigga no Rubik's
I keep only trustworthy people in my inner circle and avoid anyone who may cause problems or be untrustworthy

Cause niggas learn you just to hurt you I'm like no Judas
Many people will pretend to be friends with you in order to betray you, but I do not engage in that behavior like Judas did to Jesus

Summertime, top off
Enjoying the summer weather by driving with the convertible top down

Fake ass Louis, knockoff
People who wear fake designer clothing to appear wealthy and stylish

Young nigga, lost cause
Many young black people feel hopeless and have limited opportunities because of systemic racism and poverty

And till I pray to God that we all ball
I hope that we can all achieve financial success one day and live a more prosperous life

(Dear Lord, please Bless us)
A prayer for blessings and guidance in life

Bless us with discretion not to blow this dough
Help us to be responsible with our money and not waste it on frivolous things

Bless us with the strength not to fuck with hoes
Help us to be strong and not engage in unhealthy or toxic relationships with others

Bless us with the gift of real loyalty
Give us the ability to be truly loyal and trustworthy to those who deserve it

You know the type, he facin' life you pay the lawyer fee
The kind of loyalty where you would support someone even if they were in trouble with the law and needed help paying for a lawyer

Bless us with abundance let us ball hard
Allow us to achieve financial success and enjoy the luxuries of life

Protect us when they threaten us with a false charge
Protect us from false accusations and legal troubles that threaten our livelihood

Bless us lord cause niggas with the extras Lord
Protect us from people who try to bring us down or profit off our success through deceit or manipulation

Help me let the weight of what I made steer my direction more
Guide me in the right direction and help me use my success to make positive changes in the world

All black leather, new coupe
A stylish and expensive new car with black leather interior

Night vision in the dash make the moon blue
Technology in the car that allows you to see clearly in the dark and makes the surroundings appear blue

Nudie jeans on so my denim fresh
Wearing high-end and fashionable jeans to look stylish and make a statement

Making death threats but they ain't did it yet
People may talk tough and make threats, but they have not followed through with any violent actions

Need to get some cash, fuck it get a check
People need to make money and are willing to do whatever it takes to do so

But look, hop the fuck off this young nigga dick
Stop trying to take advantage of me and my success for your own gain

I'm ballin', yo bitch callin'
I am very successful and wealthy, and women are interested in me because of that

My shit poppin' and yo shit keep floppin', look
My music and brand are very successful, while yours is not doing well

Came in this game all the killas with me
I came into the music industry with a group of talented and driven individuals

Travel around the world I brought my niggas with me
As I have become more successful, I have brought my friends and team with me to experience travel and success

Play the game right I build the foundation
By following the rules and working hard, I have laid the groundwork for my success and built a strong foundation

Stay solid while these hatin' niggas stay hatin'
Despite the negativity and criticism I may face, I remain strong and committed to my goals

Try not to get your head knocked off
Avoiding dangerous situations and staying safe

And 'till I prayed to God that we all ball
I hope that we can all achieve financial success and enjoy the luxuries of life one day
