Nipsey Hussle
Marathon
[Chorus:]
I got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the floor
I from a city where you cannot go
I stay down for my n***as and that can’t be most
They got beef then we bring that smoke
I’m riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know
I’m riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know
I got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the floor
I from a city where you cannot go
I stay down for my n***as and that can’t be most
They got beef then we bring that smoke
Riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know
Riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know

[Verse 1:]
I just wanna see their hands up from the front to thе back
That's when I'll know I done ran my own victory lap
Had to give up all I had likе the shirt on my back
And I ain’t ask for nothing more than a little respect
I let bygones be bygones cause beef to whack
And if it's still a damn problem n***as gon get checked
See the sweat, blood, and tears on my shirt
But you will never see a n***a at his worst
Ah
[Bridge: Nipsey Hussle]
Um even in life it's about the unique things about you
Ya know what I'm sayin'
Not to blend in, not the common denominators
That's not, I don't think that's what it's about
It's about expressing the unique qualities of what you are and who you are
And actually being loud with it
You know what I'm sayin'

[Chorus:]
I got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the floor
I from a city where you cannot go
I stay down for my n***as and that can’t be most
They got beef then we bring that smoke
Riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know
Riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know
I got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the floor
I from a city where you cannot go
I stay down for my n***as and that can’t be most
They got beef then we bring that smoke
Riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know
Riding round bass loud with the heat on low
You slip once and the whole block know
[Verse 2:]
I feel like I’m getting closer but the line too far
I feel like giving up cause this life too hard
I feel like I've been falling everyday of my life
But I just keep on climbing higher
Keep on pushing the height
Tired of seeing all my people feeling trapped in a box
I’m tryna pave a way so they can have a seat at the top
They say the journey too long when tf can we stop
It's a marathon n***a better run till you drop
