Mark My Words
Nipsey Hussle
[Intro: Nipsey Hussle]
I'm different
[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]
Grind strenuous, cash out continuous
Mogul in the making, autonomous black businesses
Broken culture that we all lost nikkas in
Elevated innovation over ignorance
I represent it
Suburban tinted, five of that's percentage
Closed cur but the Mac-11 muzzle vintage
Go flourish, double back and come and get your nikkas
Pass the power to your people, it ain't nothing realer
Faced with this decision it's a funny feeling
Knowing when you tell the truth they gon' come and kill you
Knowing people need some proof, went and got the millions
Stressed a young nikka out but I'm so resilient
The champagne, Honda Civics, they was taking pictures
Young nikkas in front the buildings tryna make a living
Or I just figured they was jealous cause we made it quicker
And never asked for no favors, nikka, look
[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]
Real shyt you can mark my words
'85 Cutlass, I'll make my swerves
These ho nikkas tryna take what's yours
Take a stand or have to take one first
Back him up, but only take one burst
With white chalk I'll make 'em paint your curb
Rest in peace, have 'em paint your shirt
If a nikka's tryna take my worth
But you know
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
My last white was 20 million
So familiar like Tookie Williams, I'm in the building
My conversation is cash money
I fly private, rarely do I have luggage
Riding through the ghetto, where I'm from, the kids love me
Every day I'm rocking jewels, I know they wanna touch me
Repercussions mandatory when you injure mine
Every time I step on the block my dikk on the line
Burning like a candle in Versace sandals
My persona on the camera, that's just how it's handled
Put me in, coach, I'm going to the paint
Ran a couple two-a-days ad took me to the bank
Mark my words, I know you're broke, I see it in your face
Art Basel, twin chains, I spend it on the vase
US Marshals came to cut the gates
I'm Double M, I'm known to beat the case
[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]
Real shyt you can mark my words
'85 Cutlass, I'll make my swerves
These ho nikkas tryna take what's yours
Take a stand or have to take one first
Back him up, but only take one burst
With white chalk I'll make 'em paint your curb
Rest in peace, have 'em paint your shirt
If a nikka's tryna take my worth
But you know
[Outro: Rick Ross]
My nikka Nipsey, from the mud to the marble
What's up, my nikka?
It ain't 100 million in the room
shyt, let's shoot for three
What's up?
