(Intro: Nipsey Hussle)
It’s up’s and down’s for a real n***a
But you’ll be lame all your life hater

[Hook]
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
Aye
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
Yea, yea

[Verse]
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
Always contemplating ways just to get back right
Can’t sit tight cuz we wasting time
See, we really different
Ain’t no way we live adjacent lives
You put all your time into your image
Clearly
I could give a fuck if n***as lookin cuz they hear me
Wonder why the feds grill mе when I drive by
Is it the driеd eyes or veggies burning slowly while I slide by?
Side eyed
How they tend to look when n***as walk in
It’s cool
I know if I buy the block, well then we all in
Like Nip
Another legend in the game
All his homies was in pain
Shit, I felt it like I lost my brother
A cold motherfucker, always droppin gems
Tried to grow us out of nothing like a seed without a stem
We never fold, break or bend, we just huntin the M’s
Then, blowin gas like we need it, till its part of the wind
All my philosophies been
Nothin’ short of a win
Tryna conquer destitution like we possibly can
More destruction than friends
Ain’t no love in the end
Shit
If I’m being honest, it ain’t been no fuckin love to begin
All we thinkin is sin
Cuz it comes with a grin
Satisfaction, very short but, it’ll do till the end
Up’s & Down’s in this motherfucker, catch you a win
It’s up’s & down’s in this bitch
You better catch you a win
And then swim
[Hook]
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
Aye
Up’s and down’s to this thing called life
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
Yea, yea

It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
Yea, Aye
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
It’s up’s and down’s to this thing called life
Yea, yea
