Blue Laces 2 Remix by Tehondi Lyrics
[Intro: Tehondi]
Yea
Rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle man
This world is such a fucked up place man
Its like a black man you gotta be paranoid in every direction
Yea, yea
[Verse]
Waking from my sleep and hearing the world weep
Another legend shot & killed in the streets
He vowed to uplift and gift with prosperity, love and peace
How could the universe leave this man deceased?
The marathon goes on but I’m questioning the race
If someone this great could meet such a tragic fate
Then what’s at stake for the kid whose paths a similar take?
Giving back to my people costing my life?
Brothers in arms leaving my arms crossed in a casket
Why be a vehicle if they’re gonna blow my gasket?
Want my people to count on me but death's in the mathematics
You’ll never find where it’s added and you can’t subtract it
This country was designed to divide
For blacks to truly thrive we abandon our tribe
To stay around paranoia has to trump pride
Love wins hatred always survives wanting you to die
Wrong move you can’t say goodbye
Questioning, is the risk really worth it?
My life has purpose, we blacks have purpose
Systematically they break us so we don’t become the rulers we’re deserving
You either stay sheep, play ball or risk funeral arrangements
My life’s forever dangerous
Cause I’m a Nipsey Hussle
Do it for my people uplifting gaining muscles
But don’t trip if I don’t trust you
Don’t trip if I ain’t always riding for ya
The Marathon continues but I’m really tryna finish
I wanna live. I ain't tryna die a martyr
Maybe that’s a scapegoat
Maybe cause my father died so early I can't cope-
With the idea of fucking dying and not seeing kang grow
I can’t go, without my seeing queen take over
I hate shouldering the fear
That my peer my might be my maker
Make me wanna ride with that sprayer
Mob ties fuck a prayer
Rest in peace to a player, a legend
Showing us black excellence can shake the fucking heavens
You’ll live forever
Yea, best believe you’ll live forever
The marathon continues but this shit is looking grim
We need you here things would be so much better
Uh
[Outro: Tehondi]
Rest in peace, yea
Rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle man
Condolences to all your family
Sometimes it just makes us wonder is it even fucking worth it?
But it is
Because no matter what we gotta keep uplifting each other
I'll just have to stay paranoid forever
Yea
Rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle man
This world is such a fucked up place man
Its like a black man you gotta be paranoid in every direction
Yea, yea
[Verse]
Waking from my sleep and hearing the world weep
