All these days I cried to come back home 
Please say they lie, he can't be gone 
Lord knows I tried, can't be strong 
Shit hurt inside, damn, they cold 

Verse 1 
They said God ain't here for makin' mistakes, sit back and feel it out 
Lately, I been witnessin' hell, can't get it figured out 
Do it for the love of my niggas, that's all I been about 
Never thought of crossin' his path, we took a different route 
How the fuck they took you away? Suckas, they one up 
Ain't nothin' I can do, got me hopeless, watchin' em run up 
The ones you love'll get you X'd out just for they come up 
Revenge on everything that nigga loved, can't put my gun up 
Damn, I never pictured you leavin', can't stop the grievin' 
Every time I see your kids in my vision, you're who they're needin' 
We had to show the world you was pure, others deceivin' 
Now everybody sayin' it's love, I'm not believin' 
That pussy nigga got jammed, I'm still yellin' out god damn 

Don't worry bro, I got Sam, I told 'em that he got fam 
And even though you left here, the marathon continues 
I missin' you, bro, shit got me stressin', gotta continue, damn 

Chorus 
All these days I cried to come back home 
Please say they lie, he can't be gone 
Lord knows I tried, can't be strong 
Shit hurt inside, damn, they cold

Verse 2 
Every time I speak, I remind 'em of what you did 
Won't ever let 'em say nothin' different, you did it big 
You laid to rest the soul out the Staples, proud of your kid 
Just low the day we lost you, they felt it across the grid 
I heard your mother speak and she put my body at ease 
I begged to God to watch over Kross and Emani, please 
That every seed you planted in life, they grow like trees 
Just know that you brought peace in these states and overseas 
I seen you in your casket, everything on you glowin' 

Just lookin' like you sleepin' and headed to where you goin' 
You on your victory lap and you runnin', everything blowin' 
You told 'em never fold and you didn't, that's what they knowin' 
I'm feelin' like I'm selfish 'cause I ain't wanna accept it 
But one thing that's expected is make them niggas respect it 
Any nigga speakin' on you, it's understood 
I'ma ride for you like you would for me, that's on hood

Chorus 
All these days I cried to come back home 
Please say they lie, he can't be gone 
Lord knows I tried, can't be strong 
Shit hurt inside, damn, they cold

Interlude 
Crazy I'm doin' this right now, cuh 
Never thought I'd be talkin' to you like this 
Know it's fucked up out here how this shit went 
Sometimes, you know, we wish we could go back 
But, you know, who am I to be selfish? 

One thing for sure, man 
Make sure you holla at the homies up there 
Let a little steel so real, what's left ridin' 
Don't worry about your family, G, I'ma stand on it 
I ain't gon' lie, you did it big, G 
I love you, fool

Outro: Nipsey Hussle 
You know, w-when I used to hear my mom and my grandma say like, "Man, this world goin' crazy" 
I'm just like, "That's some shit old people say" 
Nah, it's crazy to see the-the-the-the shift that's happenin' 
Just to-just to raise good people 
You know, that-that have a foundation like principle 
A foundation of integrity
