The Marathon Continues (Nipsey Tribute)
Thats why I called my thing The Marathon
Because I, Im not gon lie and portray, um, this ultimate poise
Like I been had it figured out
Nah, I just didnt quit
Thats the only distinguishing quality
From me and probably whoever else is goin through this
Or went through this, or is gonna go through this
Is that I aint quit
I went through every emotion
I went through every emotion with tryna pursue what Im doing
You know what I mean?
And I think that what, whats gon separate
Whoevers gon try to go for something is that you aint gon quit
Thats, you know, you really gon take the stance of
Im gon die behind what Im gettin at right now
You are now listening to AraabMUZIK
Your voice keep playin in my head
Dont wanna believe you dead, no way that no ***** killed you
I know thats not what I read, God damn, Nip
We was both rollin, but you was really my man, Nip
You made me proud to tell the whole world Im a damn Crip
This marathon gon continue, *****, I cant quit
This marathon gon continue, *****, I cant quit
This marathon gon continue, *****, I cant quit
I can still hear you screamin neighborhood
Dirt Gang when you would see me, why they hate on cuz?
I just sent you a song, was waitin on your verse
We was doin a tape together, they aint know your worth
Nobody told me after Freaky died its gon get worse
They aint understand your vision
You spoke for them nights I was hungry, we shakin prison
But they just hate you did it
I asked you how to start a clothing line, you had me out on Slauson
Blue Laces was my ****, the blueprint to bein bosses
You created that
Remember when you played that beat for Clarity?
You gave out so much free game that **** was charity
You was at my birthday, my mama asked me about you
She used to ask what my shirt say, 'Ma, this is Crenshaw'
Im supportin my brother, reminding me of myself
Motivated me from the gutter, invited me to your videos
I was smokin Marathon OG with you
Every time I touched down in LA I wanted to meet with you
Me and Reg smokin flight right in the parkin lot
Fatts had me in the store puttin me a pack together
Ima listen to your raps forever
On the real, **** how they feel, Victory Lap was better
South Central aint never gon feel the same
You got me scared cuz, it aint too many of us left
'Go get that bread cuz', thats what you said before you left
We used to joke how we aint nothin like these rap *****s
Told me stay dangerous dont let em see you react *****
I called your phone cryin laughin when you slapped that *****
You just told me, 'Congrats, East, I head you actin, *****'
They killin kings I no longer wanna chat with *****s
If I could ask God for something just give me back my *****s
If I couldask God for something just give me back my *****s
Neighborhood
Damn, Nip
Its amazing, homie
Since youve been gone,
You wouldnt believe all the ** ** thats going on
I drove through your neighborhood the other day
And I seen some Eight Tray Gangstas,
Some Hoovers, some Bounty Hunters
I seen brothers from everywhere, man
Showin love, all in your memory
Man, your legacy will live on
Your legacy will live on, nephew
The Marathon Continues
Nipsey Hussle the leader, the father,
The brother, the teacher, the king, the God
Live on
Neighborhood
Live on, live on
If I could ask God for something just give me back my *****s
