[Intro: Nipsey Hussle]
Blacc Sam, what up, my n***a
It's almost over, you know
When you come home, n***a, I'ma give you 10 stacks and a fat gold chain
[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]
I remember those days, was finally gettin paid
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix us a plate
And we was in the room, countin' what we made today
You'll tell me "make it stack", I'll tell you "make it rain"
She know we in the game, but she see progress, so she just praying for the day
The oxidant investigate something legal in what we made
We not stoppin', know we know they investigate
[Verse 1: Smoke DZA]
Uh, yeah, young Smokey on the block with it
Takin over heads leanin, coppin' in
You know me, double up and put the profit in
Used to hit the cheese spot before the cops got in
BBQ and block parties off the chain
Chicks cluckin, wanna top me off the chain
I used to hop the train, now I hop in Range
Three different struggles, but we grew up the same
I was a little n***a, thinkin' hustlin was wack
Til I made my first stack, and I ain't never turned back
Me and my brother Prob, and my brother C
Had to smoke spot live at 119th
Used to catch a lick, and then go out to eat
N***a always stayed fresh, thank God for the weed
I'm loyal to the block, I will never do you greasy
In fact, I'll put us on the map, and that's word to Yeezy, n***a
[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]
I remember those days, was finally gettin paid
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix us a plate
And we was in the room, countin' what we made today
You'll tell me "make it stack", I'll tell you "make it rain"
She know we in the game, but she see progress, so she just praying for the day
The oxidant investigate something legal in what we made
We not stoppin', know we know they investigate
[Verse 2: Nephew]
I remember all them days, I was posted with Ks
I was toting the ways, I was chauffeuring
And I remember all the plays, I was coachin' the Js
I was holdin the haze, I was smokin'
I remember goin' outta town without a licence
Had traffic work 4 hours, old enough to get indicted
My brother always told me "n***a, get a pen and write it"
Back when we used the pool to pool, and used the gym for fighting
Only time I went to school was when I got sleep
And that was never caught up in the hustling and the block beef
My cousin that was on the north said I could cop cheap
Sent me down and told me "keep a Glock, that shit is not sweet"
Remember when there was a fight, the whole block involved
K was known to tote a 9, and Shad was known to pop it off
Nowadays, it's hard to even say I got a dawg
And these times, it be your n***as that'll knock you off
[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]
I remember those days, was finally gettin paid
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix us a plate
And we was in the room, countin' what we made today
You'll tell me "make it stack", I'll tell you "make it rain"
She know we in the game, but she see progress, so she just praying for the day
The investigate something legal in what we made
We not stoppin', know we know they investigate
[Verse 3: The Kid Daytona]
Do you remember like a Clue tape?
Tryna decide how I should do my shoelace
All the fresh air lookin like toothpaste, I could lick the bottom
Haven't worn them since I got em, that was last Tuesday
Start the new day, listening to new Ma$e
Circulate late 97, maybe early 98
With 5 cash in my pocket, I was straight
A slice of tropical fantasy, still enough for the train
To go back and forth, both ways
Those were the days
Clothes is my thang, hoes was the same
Play ball here and there, but no plans for the NBA
Hey I was paving my lane
To escape out the hood, gotta find a way
Cause n***as my age, 6 feet deep, tombstone with the bouquet
The upstate with a life as a food bank
[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]
I remember those days, was finally gettin paid
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix us a plate
And we was in the room, countin' what we made today
You'll tell me "make it stack", I'll tell you "make it rain"
She know we in the game, but she see progress, so she just praying for the day
The investigate something legal in what we made
We not stoppin', know we know they investigate
