Nipsey Hussle quotes

It ain't a force in this world like the focused drive

You gotta focus on yourself like an only child

You make your dream realer, and you make your team better

I ain’t on nobody else timetable.

Forget about the risk we took, I never can

Rebel in this white-man-world until they bury him (Bury him)

Being broke is so un-American

That's why I'm screaming All Money In, 'til the end, nigga

I'm not gon' lie and portray, um, this ultimate poise

Like I been had it figured out

Nah, I just didn't quit

Ones that hate us, handcuff us and mace us

Call us dumb niggas 'cause our culture is contagious

Third-generation South Central gangbangers

That lived long enough to see it changin'

All this money, power, fame and I can't make you reappear

Spoke some things into the universe and they appeared

I say it's worth it, I won't say it's fair

Find your purpose or you wastin' air

You'll find a lesson in your pain

Material things ain’t nothing. You feel me? At the end of the day, it’s who you is. You wasn’t born with it, you gon’ die without it.

Labels used to treatin' rappers like a slave, nigga

Starvin' artist, "Just be happy with your fame, nigga"

Shit changed, now it's such a different game

All the niggas like myself is controlling everything

Listen, look

Before rap my last name was my lifestyle

And when I visualize success it look like right now

What was once gray skies is now white clouds

I’m not in it for the fame. Everybody wanna be seen and held at the highest regard obviously but, you know, you can’t cash that out, you can’t take that to the bank.

You too deep in it to quit, I know the pain of it

You love the game but knowin' that the game doesn't

Love you back, love the fact this the same struggle

City to city, we products of the same hustle

Royalties, publishing, plus I own masters

I'll be damned if I slave for some white crackers

This the remedy, the separation

2Pac of my generation, blue pill in the fuckin' Matrix

Red rose in the gray pavement

Yeah, this your life, you can play with it

You make your bed, you gon' lay in it

Do your thing, just be safe with it

Pull up in motorcades, I got a show today

This all I'm tryna do, hustle and motivate

Choppers a throwaway, hustle the Hova way

That's why they follow me, huh? They think I know the way

That’s when I decided I’ma speak what I wanna see.

You get you some newfound power and go crazy and it get taken from you quick. I try to just ground myself and be focused ‘cause it’s easy to fumble.

I’d rather invest in some real estate… Invest in some assets as opposed to trick off my money on some liabilities like diamonds

It was visionary, either I'm genius or you niggas scary

Maybe it's both, and this balance I deliver daily

For every nigga in these streets tryna feed the babies

The single mamas working hard not to miss a payment

We never gone lose if we handle this business

Took a turn on the road to the riches

Left my heart in the curb in the trenches

Everything that I want is expensive

I prayed for blessings as a young nigga

Not to learn the hard lessons of a drug dealer

I laid down the game for you niggas

Taught you how to charge more than what they paid for you niggas

Own the whole thing for you niggas

But look, come to my hood i'll show you desperation

That one day is upon us, grab your fork it's time to eat, bro
