Song lyrics

[Intro:]
Hit-Boy!
G. Ry got me!

[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]
Look!
Fuck rap, I'm a street legend, block love me with a deep reverence,
I was birthed in a C-section,
Hella cops and police presence, we got opps, so we keep weapons,
We on y'all block while y'all eat breakfast,
A lot of shots, we broke street records,
Watch how you talk, I got reflexes, watchin' your cheap necklace,
Then we slide out the East exit,
But every time we get to fuckin' niggas up, TMZ catch it.
Yeah, I still learn the street lessons from the mastermind,
First you master grind, then your team catch it,
This time is for the money, I don't need credit,
But I'm the don 'cause the streets said it, look!

[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle & Big Sean]
Fuck rap, I'm a street legend,
But I'm the don 'cause the streets said it.
Block love me with a deep reverence,
But I'm the don 'cause the streets said it.

[Verse 2: Big Sean]
Yeah!
And I got pressure on me,
Seven days a week, it's game seven on me,
Life'll test you out, you live through that, that's testimony,
Givin' them hell, but how in the hell I got all these blessings on me?
Most of the girls I know addicted to social media,
All the time they put in, they coulda wrote encyclopedias,
Mama said it only takes one time to fuck up your whole Wikipedia,
And as your son, I can see the type of light that you see me in.
After what happened to Nipsey, I reached out to Kendrick,
It wasn't even no real issues there to begin with,
Lack of communication and wrong information
From people fueled by their ego, it's like mixin' flames with diesel.
Energy crazy, I realized that it's a two-way street,
What's comin' is goin', if it don't give you more, it drains you,
Should be a billionaire based on the time off I'm not takin',
Probably why the shit with me get crazy and we lost a baby.
And everybody around me think I'm the one,
But we all just one of ones,
And I'm walkin' out the crib, they ask me where I'm goin',
I told them, "I'm goin' on another ten-year run".
Niggas is bangin' over blocks that they don't own, thinkin' that's home.
Boy, you think that's where you from? You don't really know where you from,
You don't how deep your roots is or what your ancestors had done,
So, God bless all of the sons and daughters
Who knew they history so they knew where to take it farther,
And all the ones that stuck with me like good barbers,
Lookin' at my life story, God's a good author,
Never was the loudest in the room, we move like ninjas,
And if it cost your peace of mind, it might be too expensive.
So I can't give you everything that you want from me for free, though,
Get you one shot in life, you might not be able to reload,
So advanced, I need all my advances,
Bro hit me up for cash like we didn't have the same chances.
My dad hit me up like, "Why I don't live in a mansion?"
I'm tryna focus, but baby girl keep holdin' my mind for ransom,
And that ain't how it supposed to be, this man Hov got to a B,
And his name Shawn too, I almost felt like it was me.
Damn, I realized all my setbacks were inside of me,
In high school, I learned chemistry, biology
But not how to cope with anxiety
Or how I could feel like I'm by myself on an island
With depression on all sides of me, (Damn)
With a Glock .17 right on the side of me, (Hol' up)
Look, I ain't think I had the thought of suicide in me
Until life showed me all these different sides of me,
Too many times I thought the reaper was outside for me,
And how the fuck it's people that never met me that hate me?
I wonder if they understand that I meditate daily,
And feel like my life purpose is to give inspiration,
Despite the hit songs that there's just no escapin',
That I take care of my family and beat the odds that were deadly,
You hate that, that just reflects your lack of succession, bless 'em.
If it ain't Nipsey blue, it's Detroit blue,
This that Detroit 2, I'm bringin' it back to the hood like d-boys do.
Gone!

[Outro: Comic J Will & Nipsey Hussle]
— So, the collaboration though, with Nipsey and who?
— Aw, man, I'd probably say Payroll, look, or Tee Grizzley. Me and Big Sean talked about doin' something recently, too. So, you know, all of them, I'mma, I'mma tap in with all of Detroit.

Fuck rap, I'm a street legend!
Block love me with a deep reverence.
