Now we covered the shooting just over 2 years ago
Shots fired in this parking lot
And Manuel Sandoval was killed, shot multiple times
A man shot inside a truck, he was taken to the hospital
And is in critical condition this morning
Police still not sure why the shooting happened
I swear we living in a battlefield
Shit crazy the way Nipsey died
The nigga was a 60, a 60 killed him, it was televised
Got a nigga strapped, like we living in a battlefield
Like you could try and save the hood
They still gon' try and whack you still
Niggas envy, got a hateful heart
How the fuck these niggas wanna roll but never play the part
Help a nigga eat but when you fall off they gon' try and get you
Man I'm good in the hood, my niggas still keep it with you
Push the issue, mama crying with a roll of tissue
Cause a sucker took her son, now your baby's gone missing
Like how they dying everyday but still we love the streets
Like how they killing all the partners, still we love to beef
Like for real my nigga, I swear I ain't even trying to preach
Cops gunning us down, pull me over, I ain't trying to reach
For shit, until the nigga ask me to
Forgive me of my sins for doing what the fuck I had to do
These niggas don't see what we be going through my nigga
It's a motherfucking battlefield
Whole bunch of niggas having to learn to adapt to their environment
How you finna judge us when we don't even know right from wrong nigga?
We just going by what we taught
By what the OGs taught us, the best that they knew
Amen
They kill whoever try and make a change
Cause most these niggas got some evil ways
They killed Pac, they killed Martin Luther
Ball players dropping out of school to go become a shooter
In real life they had to roll the dice
Mamas struggling, surviving up off a bowl of rice
They see the trouble but they never see the sacrifice
Like having to wonder how the fuck they finna feed the fam at night
A homie taught him how to bag the white
How to scale it up, he got caught, he flip a pack a night
They say what goes around comes around, that's a fact of life
Fuck a prom nigga, lil homie just trying to pay the lights
All night, all he know he better make it shake
Problem after problem, man he hoping that he keep the faith
And one day he got killed nigga
Just rapping bout this shit give a nigga chills nigga
See it's a whole bunch of niggas that just give up on they dreams
Cause they going through the jungle
It's like 1 out of 1000 niggas make it to the NBA nigga
All of us have the dreams to make it big
A lot of us just give up on them
Cause we don't see no future
Young nigga trying to make the majors
Wanna be just like LeBron and hope he make the Lakers
Hella young with a big dream
Put it in his mind he had what it took to make the team
Family problems and it didn't break him
Odds 101 against him but it didn't shake him
Gotta learn to conquer fears and face them
No dream out of reach, just gotta learn to chase them
Most his partners either smoking, drinking
But the nigga in the gym while the niggas sleeping
A freshman nigga playing varsity
Best shot in Texas, boy be shooting like a Harden 3
Didn't let his family intervene
God showed him that he got him and it put his heart at ease
The lucky one that gotta make it out
The 1 out of 10 that didn't let the hood take him out
They say God give the toughest battles to his toughest soldiers
Keep your head up, it's gon' get better
Like J-Dawg said, what don't kill you
Make you strong enough to still fight
Amen J-Dawg
RIP Nipsey Hussle
This for anybody going through it
You ain't alone
Amen
