"Marathon- Hussle"- by NatePoetics for Nipsey Hussle

inspired by nipsey hussle www.natepeotics.com Lyrics below

Rosa Parks sat so the people could stand in her confidence to see
The strength,
In sweat coming down king's face in the moments that shine
Over thousands n crowds to hear him speak of the dream he walked so
that one day Obama could run
Guns out of city
Where there's plenty
Way to die
But few ways to send me
Opportunities
Seem empty
As our classrooms
Books
The way
They
Fill me
With
nonsense
of bullshit
that only my Jordans can survive
I hussle
Marathon mindset
All money n
No money out
Cuz ther'es no money being spent
On the Life I made to get out
I hussle
Climbing so high on this tree
Like monkeys
My eyes bleedd
Down my face
N this summe heat
That the sweat lynched
Jailbenched
1963
I hussle
I want stokley power
Choke these flowers
To our mothers
N rebirth me n hours
Shower King's dreams
Break open the cracks of roses concreted n
Hearts of uncertainty
May hussle
To be free
Hussle
To see
Brighter days beyond the cages of our street
I hussle
Martahon running
So that suits and ties
See more jobs than funerals
I hussle
The dread of another brother dead
Or locked up
Make me dread the locks
On my very head
Pulling on my roots
Looking for a history
To save me today
I hussle
Marathin running
In streets where the city called inner
Gave me top ramen dinners
I hussle
Life of the poor
Our Hood wars
Send men for capital
N prison doors
For money on iraq floors
So whether I stay or leave
Just to survive
I'm still at war
So I hussle
Freedom song
Free my mind
Free the blind
Open eyes to see
That this hussle
Is all we got
N the forgotten
But let us steve jobs innovate
Apples we eating rotten
She wants to e-v-e
Fakness out of pockets
Weaving through the streets
N my Bentley
I hustle
U just watch it
N Time is the essence
So Watch it
Back n time
I read that Douglass
Got right hooks
For gaining knowledge
So this hussle
is slave to none
for my freedom
This marathon
Means I can run forever
Hussle
Means I can dream forver
Hussle
Means I can be whoever
And run right out of the system
That claims me to b no better
I hussle
Means I never stop the run
Sprinting to destinations
Is deceit
complancenny n young
Minds who are deceived to think
Of the future
N the constraints
Of all they are able to see
But run the marathon with me
Run to be free
Harriet Tubman
N underground streets
The marathon continues
