Nipsey Hussle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make time for your folks
Choke time do the most
This year when I cross
Did that for the bros
One time for the coast
Light one nigga, smoke
Shoot guns, never choke
Make time for your folks
Choke time do the most
This year when I cross
Did that for the bros
One time for the coast
Light one nigga, smoke
Shoot guns, never choke
Moved up on the rope
Tell me who came up like the loc?
Blacc Sam on parole
Turned that to the store
Turned that to a brand
Did that for the fam
Cruised up to the club
New Chucks on the girl
We built to last, don't break a beam
Nobody put us here but still we made it here
Me and my lady friend in my Mercedes Benz
We live a type of life you couldn't make pretend
Need a safe and then
I'm in the bank again
You know I play to win
I want some paper thin
Into a spacious crib
Ain't gotta make my bed
I'm eating steak and eggs
And orchestrating biz'
Full time on the road
Make time for your folks
Choke time do the most
This year when I cross
Did that for the bros
One time for the coast
Light one nigga, smoke
Shoot guns, never choke
Got laced by niggas that rock four finger rings
And had leather on the back of they Guess jeans the 80's
Made a nigga crazy and hazily
I was no longer a baby
Soon as I got in that Mercedes they had to pay me
Makin' hoes tap out like a Gracie
Young gang banger turned jumbo
Ridin' in somethin' that ain't humble
Blowin' on somethin' that's from Humbo
Like bump a nigga that's cookin' up gumbo
Whoop wanna park so I been on
Decorated from missions I went on
Mention this nigga long I been on
You done hit our survival syndrome
Hear my story you thought a nigga on been gone
On the news countless times the shit wrong
But real niggas always end up in the end-zone
Did the most, ended up in the Enzo
Property on the coast where my mens blow
And plot on ways for us to get more
And plot on ways for us to get more
And plot on ways for us to get more
And plot on ways for us to get more
And plot on ways for us to get more
I said plot on ways for us to get more
Full time on the road
Make time for your folks
Choke time do the most
This year when I cross
Did that for the bros
One time for the coast
Light one nigga, smoke
Shoot guns, never choke, ay

My man Blacc Sam is on parole
Turned that to the store
He turned his life around and opened a store

He turned that store into a successful brand
Did that for the fam
He did it all for his family
Cruised up to the club
I pulled up to the club in style
New Chucks on the girl
My girl's wearing fresh new Chuck Taylors
We built to last, don't break a beam
We're a strong team and won't let anything come between us
Nobody put us here but still we made it here
We didn't have anyone's help, but we still made it to where we are
Me and my lady friend in my Mercedes Benz
My girl and I are cruising in my luxury car
We live a type of life you couldn't make pretend
Our lifestyle is so good you couldn't even imagine it
Need a safe and then
I need to put away some of my earnings in a safe
I'm in the bank again
I'm back at the bank, making more money
You know I play to win
I'm always striving for success
I want some paper thin
I want to make lots of money
Into a spacious crib
I want a big house that's spacious
Ain't gotta make my bed
I have so much money I can afford someone to make my bed for me
I'm eating steak and eggs
I'm living the high life and can afford to eat well
And orchestrating biz'
I'm running my own businesses and calling the shots
Got laced by niggas that rock four finger rings
I was taught well by people who know how to hustle
And had leather on the back of they Guess jeans the 80's
These people were stylish and fashionable in the 80s
Made a nigga crazy and hazily
It drove me crazy and made me realize the harsh realities of life
I was no longer a baby
I grew up quickly and started taking responsibility for my life
Soon as I got in that Mercedes they had to pay me
I became successful and started making a lot of money
Makin' hoes tap out like a Gracie
I'm successful with women and always come out on top
Young gang banger turned jumbo
I used to be in a gang, now I'm successful and well-known
Ridin' in somethin' that ain't humble
I'm driving a fancy car that shows my success
Blowin' on somethin' that's from Humbo
I'm smoking high-quality marijuana from Humboldt County
Like bump a nigga that's cookin' up gumbo
I don't care about anyone else's problems, I'm focused on myself
Whoop wanna park so I been on
I'm always on the move and don't like to stay in one place for too long
Decorated from missions I went on
I've been through a lot and have the scars to prove it
Mention this nigga long I been on
I've been doing this for a long time and have earned my stripes
You done hit our survival syndrome
You can't understand what we've been through to survive
Hear my story you thought a nigga on been gone
If you heard my story, you would think I shouldn't have made it this far
On the news countless times the shit wrong
The media has portrayed us wrongly and unfairly
But real niggas always end up in the end-zone
We may face obstacles, but we always come out on top
Did the most, ended up in the Enzo
I worked hard and achieved success in a fancy car
Property on the coast where my mens blow
I own property on the coast where my friends can relax and enjoy themselves
And plot on ways for us to get more
We're always thinking of new ways to make more money and be successful

I always listened to Nipsey's tracks in increments every time I peeped an album. I would select a few to listen to then move on to the next album. When I went back and picked this one up I was like...how could I miss this?!?! Much love to the fallen King...
