Letter to Nipsey (feat. Roddy Ricch)

Yeah

I just left your viewing at the Staples Center (I did)

Obama wrote you a letter, yeah, you made it ** (you made it)

I even heard you had some plans to come to Vegas with us

And them suckers could never kill you, it only made you bigger (yeah)

And every time I see some fire, I see blue

And every time I close my eyes, see Snupe and I see you

When I be on the West side (west side), you know how we do (how we do)

Hustle and motivate, turning one into a two (two, two), two into four

Hurt my heart, I seen you on the floor, do it for the hood

Man, I don't even wanna do it no more

When these **s you do it for, they'll shoot you and all

The only thing I can say is you with Allah, blessings (blessings)

And I ain't finna sit here, act like I'm your main homie (I won't)

But when we lost you it really put some pain on me (it did)

Got me scared to go outside without that flame on me (brrt)

And when them **s went against me, you ain't change on me (you ain't change on me)

Told me it was wrong or right some of my longest nights (you do)

You made me cry ** (cry **), and I don't cry ** (cry **)

You the first one made me feel like I could die ** (like I could die)

'Cause real **s never die, you know the vibes ** (you know the vibes **, yeah)

Couple days ago was chilling with my youngins

Seen your kids on the 'Gram, it made me sicker to my stomach (it made me sick)

And as the marathon continue, we keep running (we won't stop)

But I like, damn, I wish you seen that ** coming, for real (for real)

I wish I knew when the storm came (storm came)

How many tears did you cry when you lost someone?

We did this ** all for the gutter, whoa, whoa, whoa

Did this ** for my lil' brother, whoa (brother), whoa, whoa

Had to stand through these tears 'cause I see you every time my eyes close

Asking myself why you had to go, but only God knows (only God knows)

I was in Miami when I lost you, I ain't talk about it (yeah)

I remember I bawled out in tears when I saw your body (mm)

And the flight back home, had cold days in LA (hm)

Had to turn off my phone, throw on the shades and meditate

What you 'bout wishin' goin' blind, to hide your tears?

Had a lot of murder on my mind, but in God I fear

Took Yompton and Crenshaw around the globe in a year (whoa)

'Member ridin' solo, now it's Escalades in my rear (whoa)

I just hustle, motivate, be prolific, hold down the state

My big brother Hussle the great

I know Cobby, Supreme relate, I know Jay Rock, Hoggy relate

Blacc Sam, Adam relate, Keeda, J Stone relate

Lauren, Pacman, it's love, I wanna see you do great

I wish I knew when the storm came (storm came)

How many tears did you cry when you lost someone?

We did this ** all for the gutter, whoa, whoa, whoa

Did this ** for my lil' brother, whoa (brother), whoa, whoa

Had to stand through these tears 'cause I see you every time my eyes close

Asking myself why you had to go, but only God knows (only God knows)
