the marathon continues (nipsey tribute)

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

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
