iam3am - to live and die in la lyrics
[intro: iam3am]
look
bro, on me i don’t do no sh-t like this
(i don’t do nothing like this)
this sh-t just f-cked me up for real
[verse: iam3am]
i heard nipsey caught a bullet to the brain
in his own hood, the same place he was tryna make a change
i know if i was in that lifestyle, they would do my -ss the same
but he was respected in all hoods regardless what he banged
see they respected nip as man like f-ck colors
f-ck gang signs, now he gone, i feel i lost a brother
why k!ll ourselves? hear me out, we must protect each other
government tryna gun us down, been treating us like we nothing
i usually don’t give a f-ck but this one hit different
probably ’cause nip different, n-gg- saw the big picture
i can say i miss nipsey, i don’t usually miss n-gg-s
wish this was one of them times when they shoot and miss n-gg-s
why this had to be the one that hit?
why he had to be the one to get?
’cause he was exposing the government?
he was on some other sh-t (for real)
diggin’ deep inside they doc-ments
they ain’t like that, they had to put a stop to it
that n-gg- was a business man
plus, that n-gg- had a wife and kids
how ya’ll just gon f-ck up the life they live?
my n-gg- stood for something big
what he was doing won’t be done again
’cause i don’t know no one as real as him
i swear this f-cked me up
i ain’t gon make no song for no one just because
it’s clear, i’m someone that his story touched
that n-gg- knew what the f-ck was up
and n-gg-s had to come and f-ck it up
f-ck ’em, i hope they suffer, when they time comes
and that’s on me
hope they record it and don’t help
it’s yo fault, b-tch, you did it to you self
hope you meet god and he send yo -ss to h-ll
hope if you live then yo b-tch -ss go to jail
hope yo funds tight and you can’t make bail
hope yo hoe -ss get jumped in every cell
hope yo family don’t send you any mail
hope while locked down some of your family get k!lled
hope you get stabbed and then get sick as h-ll
hope that all of your organs start to fail
i can’t wait til you die, bet n-body will miss you
you took a real one from the world, now the whole world is against you
now we see you a b-tch, word on road you a snitch too
rest in paradise nipsey, sh-t, we’ll never forget you
[chorus: iam3am]
to live and die in la
(yeah, yeah)
to live and die in la
to live and die in la
(yeah)
to live and die in la
[break: iam3am]
rest in peace
[outro: nipsey hussle]
as a gang banger, right?
when you go on a mission
when you looking for your so called “enemy”
you driving through a different hood, down the street
you know it’s an invisible line you cross this street now you in another hood
and you hunting
and when you looking y-you gon p-ss up the dude that’s dressed “square”
you gon’ p-ss up a dude from a different race
when you see somebody that’s dressed like you dress
and got the walk like you got
and got the body language like you
you gon’ say, “there he go, get him”
and that’s deep
you know what i’m saying, you looking for yourself just on the other side of town
and that’s deep
