Play It Safe

[Intro: Nipsey Hussle] But what you gotta think about is what you dont have, you in survival mode So being in survival mode automatically rules out a lot of thigs Cause you don't experience morality Cause you experience the need to survive [Verse 1: Tsu Surf] Weather started change, I been feeling colder Charge ain't stick, bogus Seven on the Louis belt, bought me an expensive holster Ain't really sure, think the devil at my doorstep Only 17, ain't graduate yet, but he a war vet They copy, they see me mix that Fendi with Givenchy Ten bands, she Alana, spend the money on her body Keep the leeches, look, cop out cause he scared Couldn't beat it though Popping all them Percys, one too many, caught him reaching slow The most dangerous be the comfortable niggas Don't trust bitches or public defender, that's love fifty-one Fore I need pop, juries that I'm picking from Every time you work, you risk your life, you better get it done Feds had 'em upstate, then he went to Michigan Seen the homie name on that paper, that shit was sickening Ever want the money so bad you can envision it Seen the homie name on that paper, that shit was sickening [Interlude: Nipsey Hussle] You know meaning is better me than you And it's a survival instinct that kick it I think once you get out of survival, your morals come back closer to your daily decision mode Until you get out of survival mode, you ain't got time to think about right and wrong You worrying 'bout bottom line [Verse 2: Mozzy] My first case was distribution, but it's legal now You ain't supposed to laugh at niggas when you see 'em down Heard his baby mama left him during speedy trial Forever cautious of the company I keep around Extra charges for the drums and the pressure Full court press on a human we hardly seen around Finna body blood low 'til we seen his child Nigga count a hundred thousand, but couldn't read aloud Three a pound for this bookie, I'm a endulge it in, it's really worth forty-five Fuck a sucker, ain't no way we'll ever co-exist Section 8 was lightweight hating when was on the list News clip on my labor, get a load of this You get rewarded for the deeds if you was on the trip Aye, my attorney in Vegas, that don't even Alfredo sauce of the pasta if you was ever shrimp Mafia [Outro: Nipsey Hussle] And I can't blame nobody that's thinking how they gone pay they rent Being young and having to outside and feed themselves You just gotta kind of empathise with the scenario A person in survival mode, they gone survive by any means
