Sound of My Ceremony - Nipsey Hussle

Now if I break your heart, lil' momma, don’t make a scene

You really mad at yourself 'cause you couldn’t do it to me

Probably call me a failure if I ain’t never achieved

I rather you call me cocky for livin' like I believe, that I’m a king

No sympathizin' with the fake or suprises from the snakes

It’s flock season and I value my estate

So I bought some barbed wire 'case they tryna climb the gate

Houston Rocket on my waist

Hip-Hop cops on my case, but fuck 'em, more deposits in the bank

God damn a nigga straight, crooked letter on my face

I’m a fly crip but I rep my whole race

Couple of us eatin' good but everybody want a taste

They say, «Get with it or them niggas gon' take»

I say, «If you want fish, let me lead you to the lake»

But niggas lazy and I’m a late night, early mornin' nigga 25/8 Life wasn’t easy

growin' up, I had to make somethin' out of nothin'

If you struggled you relate

But now I’m straight, everything great

I don’t need your help now, nigga, all of y’all late

That’s why I made sure all of y’all shake

The way y’all ride dick I think all of y’all gay

Practice all night, ballin' all day

Sleepin' on the flights, when I land I get paid

I ain’t got a boss, I am not a slave

Turnin' up my hustle is how I give myself a raise

And it’s funny how people let money make 'em change

See you stickin' to the script then start rippin' out the pages of history,

it ain’t a mystery

If I died yesterday, my life would be a victory

These niggas sound stupid, sayin' they invented me

But arguin' with fools is a waste of energy

I’m a franchise player and a owner of the team

And they only envy me 'cause we on a winnin' spree

Now, this the sound of my ceremony

The sweet smell of success, yes, I wear it on me

The Snoop Dogg lookin' nigga in the mirror told me

«Keep gettin' money, fuck bitches, and beware of homies»

'Cause Brutus killed Caesar, and Judas killed Jesus

But that’s where I’ma leave it

'Cause they call it dry snitchin' if I take it any deeper
