Perfect Timing - Nipsey Hussle

I know perfect timing feels like I’m too late

And I know I’m still great in spite of my mistakes

You know it’s authentic, every rhyme I say

My only regret is I made niggas wait

See, ain’t too many like us, we like vintage Bape

And I don’t fuck with busters, I can’t integrate

Grew up with these killers in my living space

Lotta niggas folded through them village days

Citywide, gang and junction police raids

L.A. Times, Rollin 60s, made the front page

I vowed to never let you ditch and seal my fate

Sellin' dope with hopes to graduate to real estate

I knew I was drummin' to a different beat

Felt it in my stomach, I was just unique

We decided we gon' let these digits speak

Then we turn Slauson into Venice Beach

S 600 Maybach, platinum dealer plates

Wake up in this penthouse to the cityscape

You know it’s authentic, every shit I say

I knew self destruction ain’t the only way

Sometimes perfect timing feels like I’m too late

But I know you still great in spite of your mistakes

Before you run your race you gotta find a pace

Just make sure you cross the line, and fuck the time it takes

I got out the county jail 2008

Couple months, I dropped the tape then I was on my way

My first single out, it set the streets ablaze

On location, shot that video in front the cage

Tryna find my way through this fuckin' maze

Every concert, hundred niggas on the stage

I’m still active so it’s really just another day

Promoters paranoid to book you, that affects ya pay

And when you stop eatin', that affects your weight

And when you get hungry, that affects your brain

See me I’m not trippin', I respect the game

I hope y’all do, if I can’t make it, I’m gon' take your chain

See ain’t too many like us, we like vintage Bape

And I don’t fuck with busters I can’t integrate

I know perfect timing feels like I’m too late

But every single time I drop they tell me I’m the great
