Nipsey Hussle：

Look my n***a this is dedication this is anti-hesitation

This a real n***a celebration

This a Dime Blocc declaration

Fifty-Ninth and Fifth Ave granny's house with vanilla wafers

This the remedy the separation

2Pac of my generation blue pill in the f**kin' Matrix

Red rose in the gray pavement

Young black n***a trapped and he can't change it

Know he a genius he just can't claim it

'Cause they left him no platforms to explain it

He frustrated so he get faded

But deep down inside he know you can't fade him

How long should I stay dedicated

How long 'til opportunity meet preparation

I need some real n***a reparations

'Fore I run up in your bank just for recreation

Dedication hard work plus patience

The sum of all my sacrifice I'm done waitin'

I'm done waitin' told you that I wasn't playin'

Now you hear what I been sayin'

Dedication

It's dedication look

Kendrick Lamar：

I spent my whole life thinkin' out the box

Boxin' homies three-on-one got DP'ed but I ain't drop

Chirp on me here I come brrt spin around the block

They blurped on me said I ran a stop sign but that's a lie

I spent my whole life starin' at the stage

Playin' Sega daddy smokin' sherm mama playin' spades

Catchin' vapors grandma said I'd get some Jordans for my grades

That's my baby when she died my heart broke a hundred ways

I spent my whole life tryna make it tryna chase it

The cycle of a black man divided tryna break it

You take a loss Sh*t don't cry about it just embrace it

Minor setback for major comeback that's my favorite

My n***a L said

You do a song with Nip K Dot he a better Crip

I said he a man first you hear the words out his lips

About flourishing from the streets to black businesses

Level four yard livin' given to false imprisonment

Listen close my n***a

It's bigger than deuces and fours my n***a

Since elementary we close my n***a yeah straight like that

I give you the game go back to the turf and give it right back

For generations we been dealt bad hands with bad plans

Prove your dedication by hoppin' out Grand Am's

I'm at the premiere politickin' with Top Nip and Snoop

Damn Pac watchin' the way we grew from dedication

If it ain't congratulate then it look like hate

If it ain't congratulate then it look like what Nipsey

Hol' up

Nipsey Hussle：

This ain't entertainment it's for niggas on the slave ship

These songs just the spirituals I swam against them waves with

Ended up on shore to their amazement

Now I hope the example I set's not contagious

Lock us behind gates but can't tame us

Used to be stay safe now it's stay dangerous

'Cause ain't no point in playin' defense n***a

That's why I dove off the deep end n***a without a life jacket

Couple mil tour the world now my life crackin'

Cook the books bring it back so it's no taxes

Royalties publishing plus I own masters

I'll be damned if I slave for some white crackers

I was mappin' this out I hit the heights backwards

Hoppin' out the eighty-five in Reebok classics

Ran a couple marathons just to get established

To make it happen you got to have it

Dedication hard work plus patience

The sum of all my sacrifice I'm done waitin'

I'm done waitin' told you that I wasn't playin'

Now you hear what I been sayin'

Dedication

It's dedication
