The Marathon Continues (Nipsey Tribute) - Dave East, Snoop Dogg

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
