Gentrify your own hood, before these people do it Claim eminent domain and have your people movin’ That’s a small glimpse into what Nipsey was doing For anybody that’s still confused as to what he was doing The neighborhood is designed to keep us trapped They red line us, so property declines if you live by blacks They depress the asset and take the property back It’s a ruthless but a genius plan in fact So now we fighting over scraps Crabs in a barrel, but crabs don’t belong in the barrel and they ain’t never tell us that So in the barrel, we gonna act like we act We can easily get out the barrel if we stand on each other’s back Whoever gets on top, as long as they stay attached They gonna pull everybody out—I was doing just that I told Neighborhood Nipsey stay close There’s a 100 million dollars on your schedule, lay low Tell your team to be on point in the places that they go I never dreamed that he get killed in the place that he called home How we gonna get in power if we kill the source? Y’all like to run off on the plug, so of course That ain’t lit, that’s a means to an end Me and my team was playing the plug ahead of plan Sometimes we was only making a $1000 a joint That ain’t no money, but that ain’t main point So those 92 bricks was only 92 thou So y’all can close your mouth, it ain’t nothing for y’all to wild (Wow) But it is something to study We was chasing our goals, not chasing money Niggas chasing hoes, we find that funny I pull up in the Rolls, that hoe gon’ want me But I don’t want no hoe, I want a wife Somebody to bounce these ideas off at night I be going to sleep hoping Nip visit me That young king had a lot of jewels to split with me And we ain’t gotta leave the hood physically But we gotta leave that shit mentally
どうにかして、いつか 僕らはいつかこの地域から抜け出せるだろう
