Trae Tha Truth – Nipsey lyrics

[Chorus]
All these days I cried to come back home
Please say they lie, he can't be gone
Lord knows I tried, can’t be strong
Shit hurt inside, damn, they cold

[Verse 1]
They said God ain't here for makin' mistakes, sit back and feel it out
Lately, I been witnessin’ hell, can't get it figured out
Do it for the love of my niggas, that's all I been about
Never thought of crossin' his path, we took a different route
How the fuck they took you away? Suckas, they one up
Ain't nothin' I can do, got me hopeless, watchin' em run up
The ones you love'll get you X’d out just for they come up
Revenge on everything that nigga loved, can’t put my gun up
Damn, I never pictured you leavin', can’t stop the grievin'
Every time I see your kids in my vision, you're who they're needin’
We had to show the world you was pure, others deceivin'
Now everybody sayin' it's love, I'm not believin'
That pussy nigga got jammed, I'm still yellin' out god damn
Don't worry bro, I got Sam, I told 'em that he got fam
And even though you left here, the marathon continues
I missin' you, bro, shit got me stressin', gotta continue, damn

[Chorus]
All these days I cried to come back home
Please say they lie, he can't be gone
Lord knows I tried, can't be strong
Shit hurt inside, damn, they cold

[Verse 2]
Every time I speak, I remind 'em of what you did
Won't ever let 'em say nothin' different, you did it big
You laid to rest the soul out the Staples, proud of your kid
Just low the day we lost you, they felt it across the grid
I heard your mother speak and she put my body at ease
I begged to God to watch over Kross and Emani, please
That every seed you planted in life, they grow like trees
Just know that you brought peace in these states and overseas
I seen you in your casket, everything on you glowin'
Just lookin' like you sleepin' and headed to where you goin'
You on your victory lap and you runnin', everything blowin'
You told 'em never fold and you didn't, that's what they knowin'
I'm feelin' like I'm selfish 'cause I ain't wanna accept it
But one thing that's expected is make them niggas respect it
Any nigga speakin' on you, it's understood
I'ma ride for you like you would for me, that's on hood

[Chorus]
All these days I cried to come back home
Please say they lie, he can't be gone
Lord knows I tried, can't be strong
Shit hurt inside, damn, they cold

[Interlude]
Crazy I'm doin' this right now, cuh
Never thought I'd be talkin' to you like this
Know it's fucked up out here how this shit went
Sometimes, you know, we wish we could go back
But, you know, who am I to be selfish?
One thing for sure, man
Make sure you holla at the homies up there
Let a little steel so real, what's left ridin'
Don't worry about your family, G, I'ma stand on it
I ain't gon' lie, you did it big, G
I love you, fool

[Outro: Nipsey Hussle]
You know, w-when I used to hear my mom and my grandma say like, "Man, this world goin' crazy"
I'm just like, "That's some shit old people say"
Nah, it's crazy to see the-the-the-the shift that's happenin'
Just to-just to raise good people
You know, that-that have a foundation like principle
A foundation of integrity
