Hussle And Motivate Lyrics - Nipsey Hussle

[Verse 1] 

Pull up in motorcades, I got a show today 

It's all I'm tryna do, hustle and motivate 

Choppers a throwaway, hustle the Hova way 

That's why they follow me, huh? They think I know the way 

Cause I took control of things, ballin' the solo way 

And if you counter my trend, I make you my protege 

Slauson Ave. soldier raised, niggas don't know them days 

Take you in back of the buildings, make you expose your age 

Take you across the tracks, make you explode a face 

Now you official now, but you got a soul to save 

I just been cookin' that new, I'm bout to drop in a few 

Think if I call it the great, the people gon' call it the truth 

Ain't really trip on the credit, I just payed all of my dues 

I disrespected the game, now my name all in the news 

Trippin' on all of my moves, quote me on this, got a lot more to prove 

'Member I came in this bitch, fresh out the county with nothin' to lose

[Chorus] 

Don't do this for nothin', no, from the ground up, yeah 

But I don't do this shit for nothin', no, not at all, not at all, yeah 

Like my money real, money real, dodge it though 

So I don't do this shit for nothin', no, not at all, all 

I told her I got it, yeah 

I don't do this shit for nothin', not at all 

From the ground up 

Hustle and motivate 

[Verse 2] 

Back in this bitch like I never left 

Stand for some shit that you never rep 

Passing through stages in life 

Through the ups and the downs like it's all just another test 

Hit by the rules like a fuckin' ref 

I got respect in a hundred sets 

Too many chains, need another chest 

Playin' no games if it wasn't chess 

Cut from that cloth that you couldn't stretch 

Cut from that circle you couldn't test 

Heavily pressured and under stressed 

Even though niggas ain't show up, it was a mess 

Honest and template to the left 

Judge a young nigga by they address 

Left us no option, what they expect? 

Only thing we knew for sure was to bang the set 

Fuck livin' basic, I'm takin' risks 

Fuck what they sayin', I'm sayin' this 

Don't waste your time, it don't make you rich 

It don't mean nothin' so fuck 'em, let's make a grip 

Double up, triple up, make assist 

Ballin' so hard, you could play your bitch 

Lead to the lake, if they wanna fish 

Make sure them niggas around you stick to the script 

This should be written in stone 

You should come visit my zone 

Don't take my word, double check all of my flows 

Ask 'em how Hussle got on, but fuck what you owe 

This is for who walked down that road 

Sold everything, but they soul 

Straight off the curb, real niggas rich as you nerds 

Addressed to whom it may concern 

I don't do this for nothin', nah 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

Don't do this for nothin', no, from the ground up, yeah 

But I don't do this shit for nothin', no, not at all, not at all, yeah 

Like my money real, money real, dodge it though 

So I don't do this shit for nothin', no, not at all, all 

I told her I got it, yeah 

I don't do this shit for nothin', not at all 

From the ground up 

Hustle and motivate
