Dont Take Days Off
Nipsey Hussle Lyrics
Yeah, look, all this stress on my brain right
Poker face, I'm in the game right
Need a week to think, maybe eight nights
Some Promethazine and a straight flight
Let me cut off my phone, let me get in my zone
Let me center myself, just leave a nigga alone
I be back in a few, got some rappin' to do
Got some stacking still runnin', got some lapping to do
All, jokes to the side, nigga know that they ain't fucking with the flow I provide
Y'all, notice how I started and now a flow has evolved
And me and Ralo Styles like Wade and Lebron
And it's all money in and your bros is in charge
Hoes in ménage for those bros carte blanche
In them out of town suites 'cause they know we the ones
Equity nigga, what I've chosen, of course
No 360's, clothing and tour
When I do drop I'ma blow past niggas
And I toe tag niggas like I told 'em before
Got flow, got whores
Got dough, get more
Fuck mine, get yours
And the show just started, nigga, hold your applause
Tryna get to my spot
Look, you gotta go up floors
I put the six on stock, I was runnin' through tires like chicks on tour
And if I'm at the game, you can bet your bottom dollar that I sit on floor
And if I'm at the fight, you can bet your bottom dollar sweat hit my whore
Won't take no loss, won't take days off
We go so hard, until we fall
Won't take no loss, won't take days off
We go so hard, until we fall
A nigga used to dream, my reality's a dream now
Nigga used to dream, my reality's a dream now
I'm livin' out my dreams now
Livin' out my dreams now, now, now
Sittin' in the trap like damn tryna turn
A couple grams to a couple hundred grand
I grew up in a town they don't make it out of
If you black you don't live to see a man
You seen twenty-one, you done won the lottery
Talkin' friends, when the streets there
Took a lot from me, I washed up from a robbery
Now your name 4-6-5-7-2-3-9B state property
Damn, you had a dream, now you livin' out a nightmare
You almost made it little nigga you was right there
Now your release date is in another light year
Yeah, and it's quite clear
All you needed was a little bit of guidance
And your household it was just silence
You was your own mother and your father
How the hell you supposed to know what to do when nobody showed you the ropes
All they showed you was pistols and dope
Gang flags in the land with no hope
Where every fitted hat mean a different hood
Make it out and they still want you in the hood
Your own homies don't want you livin' good
Niggas for they self, get it understood
It's just a playground full of mood swings
Die for the color of your shoe strings
Wish I had a different way to view things
You either had a rap hook or a hoop dream
From El Segundo to Slauson
Me and Nipsey, we young bosses
Never takin' no losses
Check the garments nigga, life's marvelous
Won't take no loss, won't take days off
We go so hard, until we fall
Won't take no loss, won't take days off
We go so hard, until we fall
A nigga used to dream, my reality's a dream now
Nigga used to dream, my reality's a dream now
I'm livin' out my dreams now
Livin' out my dreams now, now, now
Poker face, I'm in the game right
Need a week to think, maybe eight nights
Some Promethazine and a straight flight
Let me cut off my phone, let me get in my zone
Let me center myself, just leave a nigga alone
