Dave East - The Marathon Continues (Nipsey Tribute) lyrics

That's why I called my thing The Marathon
Because I, I'm not gon' lie and portray,  um
 this ultimate poise
Like I been had it figured out
Nah,  I just didn't quit
That's the only distinguishing quality
From me and probably whoever else
Is goin' through this or went through this
Or is gonna go through this
Is that I ain't quit
I went through every emotion
I went through every emotion with
Tryna pursue what I'm doing
You know what I mean? And I think that what
What's gon' separate whoever's gon'
Try to go for
Something is that you ain't gon' quit
That's, you know
You really gon' take the stance of I'm gon'
Die behind what I'm gettin' at right now
You are now listening to AraabMUZIK

Your voice keep playin' in my head
Don't wanna believe you dead
No way that no nigga killed you
I know that's not what I read, God damn, Nip
We was both rollin', but you
Was really my man, nip
You made me proud to tell the
Whole world I'm a damn Crip
This marathon gon' continue, nigga
I can't quit
This marathon gon' continue, nigga
I can't quit
This marathon gon' continue, nigga
I can't quit

I can still hear you screamin' neighborhood
Dirt Gang when you would see me
Why they hate on cuz?
I just sent you a song
Was waitin' on your verse
We was doin' a tape together
They ain't know your worth
Nobody told me after Freaky died
It's gon' get worse
They ain't understand your vision
You spoke for them nights I was hungry
We shakin' prison
But they just hate you did it
I asked you how to start a clothing line
You had me out on Slauson
Blue Laces was my shit
The blueprint to bein' bosses
You created that
Remember when you played that
Beat for Clarity? You gave out so much free
Game that shit was charity
You was at my birthday
My mama asked me about you
She used to ask what my shirt say, "Ma
This is Crenshaw" i'm supportin' my brother
Reminding me of myself
Motivated me from the gutter
Invited me to your videos
I was smokin' Marathon OG with you
Every time I touched down in LA
I wanted to meet with you
Me and Reg smokin' flight right
In the parkin' lot fatts had me in the store
Puttin' me a pack together
I'ma listen to your raps forever
On the real, fuck how they feel
Victory Lap was better
South Central ain't never gon' feel the same
You got me scared cuz
It ain't too many of us left
"Go get that bread cuz"
That's what you said before you left
We used to joke how we ain't
Nothin' like these rap niggas
Told me stay dangerous don't let
'em see you react nigga
I called your phone cryin' laughin'
When you slapped that nigga
You just told me, "Congrats, East
I head you actin', nigga"
They killin' kings I no longer
Wanna chat with niggas
If I could ask God for something
Just give me back my niggas
If I could ask God for something
Just give me back my niggas neighborhood
Damn, Nip it's amazing, homie
Since you've been gone
You wouldn't believe all the
Shit that's going on
I drove through your neighborhood
The other day and I seen some Eight
Tray Gangstas, some Hoovers
Some Bounty Hunters
I seen brothers from everywhere, man
Showin' love, all in your memory
Man, your legacy will live on
Your legacy will live on, nephew
The Marathon Continues
Nipsey Hussle the leader, the father, the
Brother, the teacher, the king, the God
Live on neighborhood
Live on, live on

If I could ask God for something
Just give me back my niggas

Survival
