Lyrics Nipsey Hussle

Nipsey Hussle

Down as a Great

I'm tryna go down, down as a great

Every night I get, on my knees and pray

That I will go down, yeah

I will go down, yeah

Legendary moves, leader of my crew

Heavy is the head that wear the crown, that shit true

Do it like Nip Hussle, that's to fill some big shoes

And what good is excuses when the fuckin' rent's due?

Smokin' on this indo, run away from my pain

Rosemary on my temples, heard that's good for migraines

Solo in my Benzo, exit off the highway

Solitary thoughts like how to reinvest my side change

I'm tryna go down, down as a great

Every night I get, on my knees and pray

That I will go down, yeah

I will go down, yeah

I'm tryna go down, down as a legend

Every night I ask God for the blessin'

That I will go down, yeah

I will go down, yeah

So many niggas doin' time, who are you and I?

To play with it is a blessin', so reach for the sky

Pick up Shady off the block and we'll smoke and drive

Politickin' on the block to make it multiply

Keep some bitches on the team from the other side

Keep at least a pound of green, mothafuckin' right

30 hours in the spot, goin' overtime

Then we pull up to the Fox and go hold it down

You know this life, it got a cold design

How you go from eatin' lobster tails at Ocean Prime

To chain to a smoker and throat on the line

But when them gates close, keep an open mind

It ain't a force in this world like the focused drive

You gotta focus on yourself like an only child

You make your dream realer, and you make your team better

You wake your game up, and you make your scheme better

They say this time, this time

Won't be like the last time

But this time, this time

I'm a do it like my last time

I'm a go hard, my nigga

Put my name in the stars, my nigga

But I gotta pray to God, my nigga

That I will go down

Until we legendary, yeah

'Til we legendary

We legendary, yeah

Who don't wanna be legendary? Yeah

Wanna be... legendary, legendary, yeah

I wanna be legendary

I'm just tryna go down, I'm just tryna go down, I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

And be a legend in my town

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

And be a legend in my town
