Stone] I’ma bet on myself I ain’t ever had to sit on the shelf I’m creating generational wealth Took a loss, but got wins on a belt We was hungry, they ain’t know how it felt I want for my brothers what I want for myself Success and the foundation Nothing happened overnight A lot of sleeping on the floor Long nights in the yo Taking risk for the dough Live and die by the code Shoot it out by the store Loyalty to the bros Emancipated from the stove Graduated on the road I got in album mode Sacrifice for the goals Nigga, anything goes Was only known in the hood Now I’m known around the globe Fake friends got exposed Still stayed down ten toes I had to build a foundation All it took was dedication Off parole, on probation I caught a lot of cases But I built a foundation I ran out of patience It took me a little time But I built a foundation [Chorus: Nipsey Hussle, B.H.] Look First you got to pay dues Then you got to make moves And you know the game test you You just gotta stay true First they probably like who? Then you finally break through You ain’t gotta play cool You just gotta make room I been on a lot a missions (Argh) I caught a lot of cases (Argh) Took me a lot of time (Argh) But I built a foundation (Argh) I built a foundation (Argh) I built a foundation (Argh) Took me a little time (Argh, flying) But I built a foundation [Verse 2: BH] I’m in a coupe going fast Yeah I do the whole dash I got a bitch with some ass She got Chanel on her back Yeah I came up too fast Nigga, how you do that? Nigga, grindin’ the crack Nigga, stashing the pack Nigga re-up the sack Ride with the strap Put the hood on the map From the fronts to the back Yeah my trap be rolling If the light on, I'm open I be cooking the yola I got rich on the corner I got rich on the corner Young nigga be on it I be smoking, they on it I be fresh in the morning Bitches be calling Calling and calling They know that im ballin’ What [Chorus: Nipsey Hussle, J.
