IAM3AM
To Live and Die In LA
[Intro: IAM3AM]
Look
Bro, on me I don't do no shit like this
(I don't do nothing like this)
This shit just fucked me up for real
[Verse: IAM3AM]
I heard Nipsey caught a bullet to the brain
In his own hood, the same place he was tryna make a change
I know if I was in that lifestyle, they would do my ass the same
But he was respected in all hoods regardless what he banged
See they respected Nip as man like fuck colors
Fuck gang signs, now he gone, I feel I lost a brother
Why kill ourselves? Hear me out, we must protect each other
Government tryna gun us down, been treating us like we nothing
I usually don't give a fuck but this one hit different
Probably 'cause Nip different, n***a saw the big picture
I can say I miss Nipsey, I don't usually miss n***as
Wish this was one of them times when they shoot and miss n***as
Why this had to be the one that hit?
Why he had to be the one to get?
'Cause he was exposing the government?
He was on some other shit (For real)
Diggin' deep inside they documents
They ain't like that, they had to put a stop to it
That n***a was a business man
Plus, that n***a had a wife and kids
How ya'll just gon fuck up the life they live?
My n***a stood for something big
What he was doing won't be done again
'Cause I don't know no one as real as him
I swear this fucked me up
I ain't gon make no song for no one just because
It's clear, I'm someone that his story touched
That n***a knew what the fuck was up
And n***as had to come and fuck it up
Fuck 'em, I hope they suffer, when they time comes
And that's on me
Hope they record it and don't help
It's yo fault, bitch, you did it to you self
Hope you meet God and he send yo ass to hell
Hope if you live then yo bitch ass go to jail
Hope yo funds tight and you can't make bail
Hope yo hoe ass get jumped in every cell
Hope yo family don't send you any mail
Hope while locked down some of your family get killed
Hope you get stabbed and then get sick as hell
Hope that all of your organs start to fail
I can't wait til you die, bet nobody will miss you
You took a real one from the world, now the whole world is against you
Now we see you a bitch, word on road you a snitch too
Rest In Paradise Nipsey, shit, we'll never forget you
[Chorus: IAM3AM]
To live and die in LA
(Yeah, yeah)
To live and die in LA
To live and die in LA
(Yeah)
To live and die in LA
[Break: IAM3AM]
Rest in peace
[Outro: Nipsey Hussle]
As a gang banger, right?
When you go on a mission
When you looking for your so called "enemy"
You driving through a different hood, down the street
You know it's an invisible line you cross this street now you in another hood
And you hunting
And when you looking y-you gon pass up the dude that's dressed "square"
You gon' pass up a dude from a different race
When you see somebody that's dressed like you dress
And got the walk like you got
And got the body language like you
You gon' say, "There he go, get him"
And that's deep
You know what I'm saying, you looking for yourself just on the other side of town
And that's deep
