“Ones that hate us, handcuff us and mace us/Call us dumb niggas ’cause our culture is contagious/Third generation, South Central gang bangers/That lived long enough to see it changing/Think it’s time we make arrangements/Finally wiggle out they mazes, find me out in different places/’I’m the spook by the door,’ this the infiltration, double back, dressed in blue laces” —Nipsey Hussle
“This the remedy, the separation/Tupac of my generation, blue pill in the fuckin’ Matrix/Red rose in the gray pavement/Young Black nigga trapped and he can’t change it/Know he a genius, he just can’t claim it/’Cause they left him no platforms to explain it” —Nipsey Hussle
“Built my own lane, ain’t no nigga ever hand me shit/Slauson Ave., do you understand the averages?/The fact I’m still standing speaks volumes to my savages/We lust lavishness and aim for extravagance/Even if it’s only temporary/Least we had the shit” —Nipsey Hussle
