Nipsey Hussle - I Do This lyrics

[Intro: Sinister Pook] Longwinded, running through this life like it was mine Never settling, but setting every goal high One thousand burpees on the path to my own destruction or success But what is a mistake without the lesson? See, the best teacher in life is your own experience None of us know who we are until we fail They say every man is defined by his reaction to any given situation Well who would you want to define you? Someone else or yourself? Whatever you do, homie, give your heart to it And stay strong [Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle] Lot of n***as fail, but I won't Lot of n***as fold, but I cope Lot of n***as gone, but I'm home Lot of n***as off, but I'm on Lot of n***as lost on this road Couple n***as gave up their goal Gang of n***as traded their soul But me, I'm standin' on tip toes Lookin' out my Benz window Wonder where'd my friends all go Scared to give my heart to this girl Paranoid she gon' leave if my ends get low No one in this game to be played But I'm knowin' that this game to be changed I should be afraid of afraid I'm just tryna live up to the meanin' of my name I'm just tryna live up to them n***as in my gang I'm just tryna live up to my moment on the stage I'm just tryna live up to the truth in my pain And the power that they gave me in the youth of today I put a coupe in the safe And I shoot from the waist My time is money And I ain't got a second for you flukes and you fakes [Hook: Young Thug] I do this sh** for my woes I do this sh** for my n***as I do this sh** for my bros I do this sh** for my n***as, yeah I do this sh** for my woes I do this sh** for my n***as I do this sh** for my bros I do this sh** for my n***as, yeah [Verse 2: Mozzy] We've been takin' trips more than often this month When I call they pullin' up, 2, 3 stream up You ain't do enough for the clan, how I feel If I gotta shut it down, how the film gon' feel? 120 in the Euro, one hand on the wheel I was just broke, ran through a quarter mil' Can't believe I'm still here, shed tears for the dead Cubes in my 30 chain, she don't even wear Call my little brother up, you know we took it there Real n***a tellin' on me, only thing that I fear Yeah, only thing that I fear Real n***a tellin' on me, only thing that I fear Lotta n***as squeal, lotta dope in the air Lotta n***as squeal, lotta dope in the air Styrofoam contaminated, got a n***a meditatin' Yeah, I said it got a n***a meditatin' I can't even eat 'less I'm medicated I can't even sleep 'less I'm medicated I've been on my feet chasin' check after check n***a, week after week, cause I'm dedicated I can't even eat 'less I'm medicated I can't even sleep 'less I'm medicated I've been on my feet chasin' check after check n***a, week after week, cause I'm dedicated [Hook: Young Thug] I do this sh** for my woes I do this sh** for my n***as I do this sh** for my bros I do this sh** for my n***as, yeah [Verse 3: Young Thug] Thugger!
