JAY-Z - Tidal B-Sides 2 Concert Freestyle lyrics

Gentrify your own hood before
These people do it
Claim eminent domain and have
Your people move in

That’s a small glimpse into
What Nipsey was doing
For anybody still confused as to
What he was doing

The neighborhood designed to keep us trapped
They red line us
So property declines if you live by blacks
They depress the asset and

Take the property back
It's a ruthless but a genius plan, in fact
So now we fighting over scraps
Crabs in the barrel but

Crabs don't belong in the barrel
But they ain't never tell us that
So in the barrel we gon' like we act
We can easily get out the barrel if

We stand on each other's back
Whoever gets on top as long
As they stay attached
They can pull everybody out -

I was doing just that
I told Neighborhood Nipsey stay close
There's a 100 million dollars
On your schedule, lay low

Tell your team to be on point
In the places that they go
I never dreamed he'd get killed in
The place that he called home

How we gon' get in power
If we kill the source?
Y'all like to run off on the plug
So of course

That ain't lit, that's a means to an end
Me and my team was playing
The plug ahead of plan
Sometimes we was only making a $1000 a joint

That ain't no money but
That ain't they point
So those 92 bricks was only 92 thou'
So y'all can close your mouth

It ain't nothing for y'all to WOW!
But it is something to study
We was chasing our goals, not chasing money
Niggas chasing hoes, we find that funny

I pull up in the Rolls, that hoe gon' want me
But I don't want no hoe, I want a wife
Somebody to bounce these ideas off at night
I be going to sleep hoping Nip visit me

That young king had a lot of
Jewels to split with me
And we ain't gotta leave the hood physically
But we gotta leave that shit mentally
