Is It Worth It

[Intro: Martin Luther King Jr.]
To end the long night of their captivity, but one hundred years later the negro still is not free. One hundred years later the life of the negro is still sad...

[Verse 1]
Every day I'm sittin' in the crib thinkin'
How it would've went if I handled things different
But now I'm hurtin' headaches it's not worth it
I'm not perfect livin' life that's not certain
I drop verses with lyrics you can't purchase
Down to the hearse, I was dodgin' them strip searches
Wet a few niggas well, I've been surfin'
AR strapped to my arm like bitch purses
You can get opened up like split curtains
When it's time to ride bitch niggas they get nervous
But stop and think ask yourself a question
How much does it really take for us to learn our lesson
Little kids reppin' their sets and soundin' their weapons
Every day a nigga get wet and drown in the west end
Snake pit niggas be steady clowin' their bredrins
Steppin' up to me you'll be goin' down in a second, ahh!

[Chorus]
Fightin' curses is it really worth it?
Lotta hittas in my circle turned into a serpent
Free the crodies in the bin that still puttin' work in
R.I.P to all my niggas underneath the surface
All these mothers lose their kids, is it really worth it?
All the rappers in my city started gettin' murdered
If you really want a mansion with the rose Persian
Think about the moves you make, is it really worth it?

[Verse 2]
Everybody grabbin' their ghats, and leavin' their sense
Doin' stupid shit, gettin' locked and servin' years in the pen
Bail and toilets like a plumber, or blowin' weed in the vents
Once they're sober then it's over, it's back to grievin' again
Read the bible then after you should try to read it again
You need to repent, stop schemin' and seekin' revenge
All I know is one thing for certain
It's never too late to go put the work in
Every nigga talk shit but was it worth to murk 'em
Just remember that these motherfuckin' birds is chirpin'
Stay on point and think about your moves when you make it
Your mother may have gave you life but anyone can take it
Don't nobody wanna be rubbin' a bid
With no father figure on the road to come for their kids
Baby momma got her needs so she fuckin' her neegs
You don't wanna face the facts, but you know what it is

[Chorus] (2x)
Fightin' curses is it really worth it?
Lotta hittas in my circle turned into a serpent
Free the crodies in the bin that still puttin' work in
R.I.P to all my niggas underneath the surface
All these mothers lose their kids, is it really worth it?
All the rappers in my city started gettin' murdered
If you really want a mansion with the rose Persian
Think about the moves you make, is it really worth it?

[Outro: Ermias Asghedom "Nipsey Hussle"]
I ain't gon' lie and portray this ultimate poise like I've been had figured it out nah I just didn't quit, that's the only distinguishing quality. I ain't quit I went through every emotion, with trying to pursue what I'm doin', ya' know what I mean? I think that what gon' separate whoever's gon' tryna go for somethin' is that you ain't gon' quit, and that's you know you really gon' take the stance if I'ma die behind what I'm gettin' at right now, that we had to adjust to survive
