God Will Rise

Nipsey Hussle realest nigga that ever heard
Right in front of his shop bullets he couldn't curve
They had the nerve to leave him bloody on the fucking turf
And one thing's for sure he wasn't killed by bunch of jerks
Pharmaceuticals never wanted aids to be cured
And if you talking too much you might just end up cursed
Emptying a silencer where they think you deserve it
And that's the heart, that's the mind putting you out of service
Paying niggas in the hood so they can do the dirty
And you really lucky nowadays if you make it thirty
Putting holes on a nigga chest just like a Jersey
Changing young niggas mind long ass journey
Black on black crime that shit's so unworthy
And when you speak the truth the Government gets bloodthirsty
Sup with pac? sup with biggie? no ones really certain
But speak the truth and you end up wet like shower curtains

Been the realest in the city
Been the realest in the city aaaaaannnn
I'm the best to ever do it
I'm the best to ever do it aaaaaannnn
Made a lot of enemies
But it only made me strong
Got the city on my hips
But I ain't talking Crenshaw

Dead or in jail 6 feet deep or in a cell
Niggas walking with the straps cuz the got devils on they shoulders
Yo the bullets be flying different city same story
Hussle was an icon knew this shit a marathon
He never looking back he kept it real through the pythons
1000 for 100 all Money in the label
Take notes entrepreneurship at its fuckin finest
Military work 5 to the chest 1 to the brain
He was gonna say the truth yo they had to intervene
They couldnt let a nigga walk with his own fucking milly
Had to take his life and the joy from his family
Nigga was an icon rip Nipsey
Dead or in jail know the real ones feel me
Let a nigga win boy stop all the hatin'
Nigga was an icon rip Nipsey

Been the realest in the city
Been the realest in the city aaaaaannnn
I'm the best to ever do it
I'm the best to ever do it aaaaaannnn
Made a lot of enemies
But it only made me strong
Got the city on my hips
But I ain't talking Crenshaw

Life's a marathon, Nipsey told me that
And you reap what you sow homie that's a fact
I heard the news, shit was crazy it just made me snap
I reminisce when I was young with my crenshaw hat
I used to wear my blue chucks with some tube socks
Blue dickies, white T and a blue top
And now my idol is gone, I wonder who shot
Government or gang related, I guess we won't never know
But this shit deep, it got me feeling weak
Cause the homie came from nothing brought a value to these streets
And whats crazy is he never reached his peak
He just kept on taking steps forward, now he's history
Man im frustrated, cause Nipsey was like my mentor
He taught me when they shut you down take the back door
Never quit, never stop when it gets hard
And ima do my thang Nipsey, yeah

Been the realest in the city
Been the realest in the city aaaaaannnn
I'm the best to ever do it
I'm the best to ever do it aaaaaannnn
Made a lot of enemies
But it only made me strong
Got the city on my hips
But I ain't talking Crenshaw

Hear the sound of the police in moments of my arrest
Still on that stop the violence movement a young K.R.S
Money be moving they celebrate your success
But jealousy and hatred be something to expect
Never the less the game is just a hot mess
Process with violence now it's just a blood fest
My youth be lost so how we're gonna progress
Still on that quest for love and tribes in projects
But they like me better when I'm silent
Prisoner of time stuck in a island
Lots of riots in my mind it be vibrant
The world is spinning so loud
I'm running just to get out
Can't get to me now
Praying for those in them clouds
The world is listening...

Been the realest in the city
Been the realest in the city aaaaaannnn
I'm the best to ever do it
I'm the best to ever do it aaaaaannnn
Made a lot of enemies
But it only made me strong
Got the city on my hips
But I ain't talking Crenshaw
