Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
Mogul and they know that, logo on my floor mat
Courtside Chamberlain throwback match my Rolex
Everywhere I go, flex, vallet park on some loc shit
Whole lot of smoke in that 'Rari, that thing potent
Burnin' rubber, wearin' cameras, they was undercovers
Under pressure, made statements, turned on they brothers
Never judge you, but the streets will never love you
I wonder what it come to you in your brain to make you run to
Ones that hate us, hand cuff us and mace us
All us dumb niggas 'cause our culture is contagious
Third generation, South Central gang bangin'
Had lived long enough to see it changin'
Think it's time we make arrangements
Finally wiggle out they mazes, find me out in different places
In a [?] door, this the infiltration, double back, dressed in blue laces
Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
They killed Dr. Sebi, he was teachin' health
I fuck with Rick Ross 'cause he teachin' wealth
Dropped out of school, I'ma teach myself
Made my first mil' on my own, I don't need your help
All black Tom Ford, it's a special evenin'
City council meetin', they got Hussle speakin'
Billion dollar project bout to crack the cement
So one of our investments had become strategic
Summer roll '18, man it's such a season
'Bout to make more partners look like fuckin' geniuses
We was in the Regal, it was me and Steven
We done took a dream and turned it to a zenith
Anything I want and everything I needed
Gotta pace yourself, it's all about yo' breathin'
You can have it all, it's all about your reason
I done took my name and carved it into cement
Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
I flashback on that shootout at the beach, twenty deep
You tried to squeeze, your gun jammed and they released
Blood on your tee, how many stains? I see three
The bitch started to panic so I made her switch seats
Drivin' now, police chopper ahead flyin' now
Really not too spooked, calmly asked me, "Am I dyin' now?"
All I know is keep you calm and collected
Crackin' jokes like, "Nigga, now you gon' be finally respected"
See your blood leakin', got my foot on this gas
Tossed the .40, we pull up to Daniel free and see CRASH
You know the alibi, they started shootin', we was standin' by
Ain't see nothing, but the flare from the talons fly
"I wasn't there, I was passin' by"
Matter fact, don't say shit, I'm just gon' drop you in the back and slide
That's yo weed, all the cash is mine
I took 'em both to the spot plus your phone til you back online
Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
Oh baby it's been soo long, oohh
The lyrics BLUE LACES 2 of NIPSEY HUSSLE is also present in the album Victory lap (2018)
Nipsey Hussle, pseudonimo di Ermias Joseph Asghedom (Los Angeles, 15 agosto 1985 – Los Angeles, 31 marzo 2019), è stato un rapper, imprenditore e attivista statunitense. Considerato uno dei pionieri del movimento hip hop West Coast, Nipsey ha guadagnato fama per le sue rime introspettive e il suo impegno sociale nella comunità di Crenshaw a Los Angeles. La sua musica affrontava temi come la vita quotidiana nelle strade, l'imprenditorialità e la lotta contro la violenza. Oltre alla musica, Nipsey era un imprenditore di successo con diverse attività commerciali, tra cui la sua etichetta discografica All Money In e una catena di negozi di abbigliamento. Era anche un attivista per i diritti civili e il miglioramento delle condizioni di vita nella sua comunità. La sua morte prematura a causa di un omicidio ha suscitato grande dolore e indignazione in tutto il mondo, con molti che lo hanno ricordato come un'icona culturale e un esempio di successo contro ogni ostacolo. Tra le sue canzoni più rappresentative ricordiamo "Victory Lap", "Double Up" e "Last Time That I Checc'd".
In the realm of rock 'n' roll, there are few names as iconic as Queen, and within the Queen pantheon, Brian May stands out not only as a legendary guitarist but also as an astrophysicist with a profound connection to NASA.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
It has been talked about for almost 3 years, rumored and it is hoped that sooner or later they will arrive at a collaboration, and now we are satisfied: the Catalan singer Rosalia and the American musician Oneohtrix finally announce the publication of a piece together!
