Be Here for a While lyrics

[Intro: Nipsey Hussle]
That's right...
Yeah, look

[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]
Blue cup, black gun
Paid dues, that's done
Favors from me, can't ask none
Black eyed the game and got passed on
Me, I kept this sh*t super solid
Came up, and n*gga you acknowledge
See me in my coupe, I got stupid dollars
I'm a dropout but now I speak at colleges
Ironic, I'm honest
I get paid to speak my mind, and it's crazy to me
Just pay me, fooly; if I wrote a script, it'd be a crazy movie
About my life, about rolling dice
About taking risks, you gotta know the price
Gotta know yourself, on the coldest nights
Can't turn it down, you gotta own the fight
Win, lose, or draw, you could ball
You could've kept it real, but n*gga, you's a fraud
Before you get the sh*t, you gotta lose it all
And then you find yourself and see that you's a God
And that's real sh*t, thousand hundred dollar bill sh*t
From hood to the hills sh*t, like, "How the f*ck did we build this?"
Real sh*t, look
Blue cup, black gun
Paid dues, that's done
Favors from me, can't ask none
Came in the game then I passed up
And I can't stop, won't stop
I'm the type to get more guap
You the type to fa sho flop
I'm from Brynhurst and them dope spots
Now look
[Chorus: Vernardo]
It's hard but it's fast, see, these haters don't care
When they see you, they stop and stare
(See you, they stop and stare)
Rollin' on them thangs with them gold out rings
Smokin' kush and switchin' lanes (Switchin' lanes)
See, the only thing I think about is when the star might fall
See, we won't stop until we reach the top
And we gon' be there for a while

[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
Aye, check it out, look
I'm still runnin' laps, takin' fades, I still run it back
Talkin' guns, I got a hundred straps
And I be in your bush if you f*ck wit' Fats, that's a fact
I don't f*ck wit' rats
This boss life, I got a lust for that
Pullin' up at Sak's, blow a hundred sacks in my V12
I don't f*ckin' slack, not at all
I gotta ball, they shot my dog
Rest in peace, my n*gga, Frogg
Life is short, n*gga, then it's gone
But in the meantime we tryna get it all
You should get involved, I'm really raw
Before this rap sh*t, I really balled
Alpina's, n*gga, on white Lincoln's, n*gga
Black Beamers, n*gga, they can't see us, n*gga, naw
Sometimes I get so offended by it
Don't compare me to none of these f*ckin' liars
I'm f*ckin' flyer, I'm f*ckin' realer
Play wit' me, I'll be a f*ckin' killer
Dropped seven tapes wit' no f*ckin' filler
Now Victory Lap's my f*ckin' Thriller, uh
If you broke, I ain't f*ckin' wit' you
Unless you went broke while you was f*ckin' wit' me
Then we bounce back 'cause it's nothing really
Gon' do it big 'til they f*ckin' kill me
[Chorus: Vernardo]
It's hard but it's fast, see, these haters don't care
When they see you, they stop and stare
(See you, they stop and stare)
Rollin' on them thangs with them gold out rings
Smokin' kush and switchin' lanes (Switchin' lanes)
See, the only thing I think about is when the star might fall
See, we won't stop until we reach the top
And we gon' be there for a while

[Interlude: Nipsey Hussle]
Yeah
I could remember, like, bangin' on the MPC late night
Gettin' kicked outta the house because of that sh*t
Catchin' the 108 to the Blue Line
n*ggas sittin' on the bridge, loadin' up they burners, sweatin'
We were just kids tryna get to it
Takin' losses, stayin' down
Frustration
Go looking back at the sh*t right now, it's like, it's nothin'
It's gon' feel like that for you, too
Hustlers

[Chorus: Vernardo]
It's hard but it's fast, see, these haters don't care
When they see you, they stop and stare
(See you, they stop and stare)
Rollin' on them thangs with them gold out rings
Smokin' kush and switchin' lanes (Switchin' lanes)
See, the only thing I think about is when the star might fall
See, we won't stop until we reach the top
And we gon' be there for a while
