2 Official - Nipsey Hussle
Nip will never die, forever live yo nameI’m here to shine light on what you did for the game
It wasn’t just about the money, wasn’t caught up in the fame
A couple miles from Hollywood but Hollywood wasn’t in yo veins
You brought praise to Dr. Sebi he me alkaline-vegan
Since 2017 that’s my diet and way of eating
You wasn’t just another banger but a banger with a reason
You was in it for the marathon not in it for a season
You was teaching us investments you was just inside my city
On a panel teaching real estate man that shit was litty
A friend of mine, the biggest fan of yours named Moriah
You gave her an interview the respect for you grew higher
Crenshaw & Slauson you were arrested on that corner
Turned around, got some money, got invested on that corner
Lot of gains, lot of losses were collected on that corner
On that day I wish you were protected on that corner
You sold a mixtape for a whole $100
Jay Z bought 100 copies that’s a $10,000
You even sold shirts you could scan with your phone
I never heard of either man your way of thinking was on
I got yo’message on my shoulders and I’m holding it strong
Nobody’s perfect rights & wrongs but this is a betterment song
Owning all yo’ masters as an artist that’s boss
Made it with your own team nigga that’s boss
From being on the block to owning it nigga that’s boss
The Maybach bought, not rented, that’s boss
And you ain’t let em slave you, did it your own way
Instead of quick change you ran ‘em the long way
In every interview you gave us knowledge by the stock
Get some money save some money then come back and buy the block
This ain’t about 2 Official just know I listened well
Before the shooting I’ve been on my real estate to see prevail
I’m focused on fix & flip, a little bit wholesale
I rather buy it and hold it then watch them checks hit the mail
That’s mailbox money, that’s the name of yo’ project
To understand exactly what you meant was a process
Next I’m doing commercial real estate out the projects
I'ma leave it to my seed when I’m gone, that’s the object
Out of all my favorite rappers to the T you was living out my dream
Manifestation & dedication operation
