Nipsey Hussle - Who Detached Us lyrics

Look, somehow I escaped the fate
Of this life I lead divorced the street
She tried to kill me and my wife to be
Black widow, silk sheets and a satin pillow
This California king loved you like
A sack of indo
Empty patron bottles and a pack of Mentos
Master suite 'frigerator full of incidentals
Every day we have a ball like a blond bimbo
Talk to her like a shrink and
Fuck her like a nympho
And it can be as simple as it seems
If you never doubt yourself and
Learn from everything you see
Know, wishing on a star can turn
Your life into a dream
You could walk on water just don't
Look down at your feet look
Told this world I was a star
I'm gon' need a stage
Cause life is short and talk is
Cheap so fuck what people say
When I was 12 a crazy lady
Told me lead the way
I shed a tear cause it was
Real and swore to never stray

Now every second is a classic
When nothing last gotta take a moment and
Appreciate the fact that
This world is turning faster and faster
And once you found the real it's
Hard to tolerate the plastic
I ain't no Christian
Ain't no Catholic but I believe
God gon' shine his light on
Everyone that never had shit
I need some answers to these
Questions that I'm asking
We used to be connected, who detached us?
We used to be respected, now they laughin'
We've turned into possessions with no passion
How we go from the best to less than average
We used to be connected, who detached us?

Who? Who? Who? Who?
(With no collective identity)
You you you you (It's every man for himself)
Me me me me (We need a black mafia)
Us we we (Look)

Ruthless Crip on some stupid shit
To valeting at Ruth Chris
In some roofless shit
I think too much TV is what ruins kids
When homosexual actors is their influences
We need community centers that
Teach the music biz
That way we learn to retain
Ownership on some Jewish shit
Don't take no hand outs
You build it it's more lucrative
And now everything that I spoke
Is the truest shit
You get abused long enough
You start abusing shit
She flipped the script and now your
Woman calling you a bitch
You got some problems in the house
That only you can fix
And if you was a kid that grew
Up with it even you would split
He told the world he was a star
And he gonna need a stage
Cause life is short and talk is
Cheap so fuck what people say
When he was 12 a crazy lady
Told him lead the way
He shed a tear cause it was
Real and swore to never stray

Now every second is a classic
When nothing last gotta take a moment and
Appreciate the fact that
This world is turning faster and faster
And once you found the real it's
Hard to tolerate the plastic
I ain't no Christian
Ain't no Catholic but I believe
God gon' shine his light on
Everyone that never had shit
I need some answers to these
Questions that I'm asking
We used to be connected, who detached us?

Who? Who? Who? Who? (No separation)
Who? Who? Who? Who? You you you you
(Divide and conquer) me me me me
(It's the Art of War) us we we
Who detached us? (Look)

Death is the destination we all share
No one has ever escaped it
And that is as it should be
Because Death is very likely the
Single best invention of Life
It is Life's change agent it clears out the
Old to make way for the new
Right now the new is you, but
Someday not too long from now
You will gradually become the old
And be cleared away your time is limited
So don't waste it living someone else's life
Don't be trapped by dogma
Which is living with the results
Of other people's thinking
Don't let the noise of other's opinions
Drown out your own inner voice
And most important
Have the courage to follow your heart
And intuition they somehow already
Know what you truly want to
Become everything else is secondary
Stay Hungry stay Foolish
It was their farewell message
As they signed off
And now, I wish that for you
Stay Hungry stay Foolish
