look my nigga this is dedication this is antihesitation
this a real nigga celebration
this a dime blocc declaration
59th and 5th ave granny house with vanilla wafers
this the remedy the separation
pac of my generation blue pill in the fuckin’ matrix
red rose in the gray pavement
young black nigga 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 nigga reparations
‘fore i run up in your bank just for recreation
nipsey hussle
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

i spent my whole life thinkin’ out the box
boxin’ homies threeonone 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 shit don’t cry about it just embrace it
minor setback for major comeback that’s my favorite
my nigga 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 nigga
it’s bigger than deuces and fours my nigga
since elementary we close my nigga 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
interlude kendrick lamar
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
look
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 they 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 nigga
that’s why i dove off the deep end nigga without a life jacket
couple mil’ tour the world dawg 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 heist backwards
hoppin’ out the eightyfive in reebok classics
ran a couple marathons just to get established
to make it happen you got to have it
nipsey hussle
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
