Question
Nipsey Hussle Lyrics

What they call you where you from, nigga?
What nickname do people use to refer to you based on your hometown, my friend?

Looking at the legend I become, nigga
Observing the iconic figure I have transformed into, my friend

I can't help but feeling like I am the one, nigga
I simply cannot resist the feeling of being the chosen one, my friend

I'mma run away, bus, catch it
I will escape quickly, my friend, by catching a bus

Blue line train, riding west side with the young actress
Traversing the west side on a Blue line train accompanied by a young actress, my friend

These old rules came with no questions
These traditional guidelines were followed without hesitation, my friend

Wrong and live bomb but it's no exceptions
Executing wrongful actions without any exemptions, my friend

Was young and reckless with loaded weapons
I was youthful and impulsive, carrying dangerous firearms, my friend

This code of ethics is self destruction
This set of moral principles leads to our own downfall, my friend

When it's over, you left with nothing
Once it all concludes, you are left with absolutely nothing, my friend

This life ain't it boy, better check the subtext
This existence is not fulfilling, my boy, you should examine the underlying meaning, my friend

Or the fine print, felt entitled to this fly shit
Or the additional details, feeling deserving of this glamorous lifestyle, my friend

Felt like every bad bitch should be on my dick
Believed that every attractive woman should be infatuated with me, my friend

Felt like niggas lying to us on some fraud shit
Sensed that individuals were deceitful with us, engaged in fraudulent activities, my friend

Fuck it, that's just how the ball bounce on some boss shit
Oh well, that's simply how things unfold, especially in a dominant manner, my friend

Right here with all my brothers, on some squad shit
Present in this very moment with all my close friends, engaged in collective activities, my friend

All money, one nation under God shit
Amassing wealth, unifying as one nation under the guidance of a higher power, my friend

Neighbourhood, Nipsey Hussle, on some boss shit
Representing the neighborhood, Nipsey Hussle, in an authoritative manner, my friend

AKA nigga born broke, gotta die rich
Also known as a man who originated from poverty but must depart this world wealthy, my friend

A nigga had the nerve to walk up on me ask me where I'm from
An individual dared to approach and question my hometown, my friend

I told him I ain't bang, didn't listen so I gave you one
I informed him that I am not affiliated with any gang, but he disregarded my statement, so I struck him, my friend

Not the cididy one, nigga try to hit him up
Not a superficial reference, he attempted to harm him, my friend

Now you only get him up, set it up and wet it up
Now you solely provoke him, prepare and execute a violent act upon him, my friend

Nub from the hood, checking niggas on the daily
Native of the neighborhood, continuously assessing individuals' loyalty and authenticity, my friend

Started off BG, OG, baby
Commenced as a Baby Gangster, evolved into an Original Gangster, my friend

Real life homie, two heaters in my seat
Authentic companion, carrying two firearms within my vehicle, my friend

Had to check a nigga at the Compton Swap Meet
Had to confront an individual at the Compton Swap Meet, my friend

Where you from? I don't bang
Which neighborhood are you from? I am not affiliated with any gang, my friend

Where you live? Where you hang?
Where is your place of residence? Where do you usually spend your time? my friend

Say the wrong thing, get banged
Utter the incorrect words, and you will face the consequences, my friend

Lights out, kites out to the homies in the pen
Lights off, sending letters to our incarcerated friends, my friend

Crip'ing in the city, we ain't lettin' the cuz in
Being a member of the Crips in our community, we are not allowing outsiders to join, my friend

A lot of niggas camouflage, try to blend in to fit in
Many individuals attempt to conceal their true colors and adapt in order to belong, my friend

Get a hood rat so they sit in
Obtain a promiscuous woman so they can accompany them, my friend

But if she got a brother, a daddy, or a cousin
However, if she has a sibling, a father, or a male relative, my friend

They hit your ass up like motherfucker, where you from cuh?
They will aggressively confront you, asking where you are from, my friend
