[Sample]
When all dreams seem to die
The summer's gone, the breeze stops blowing
The sun just leaves the sky
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Uh
Yeah, this your life, you can play with it
You make your bed, you gon' lay in it
Do your thing, just be safe with it
Triple bunks in the state prison
Blue laces in my blue chucks
I ain't never gave two fucks
BET I chucked the hood up
Asking if that nigga Nip hood, what
Like I wouldn't take it to the back with you
Same nigga walk the track with you
Same nigga shot a strap with you
Same nigga bought a sack with you
Nineteen touchin' two birds
Alpinas off a few swerves
Grey leather in my white Lincoln
Shit smellin' like a new purse
Two C's on my bitch shit
My money risin' like Bisquick
Six words hope you get this
Rich Rapper On Some Crip Shit
I prayed for blessings as a young nigga
Not to learn the hard lessons of a drug dealer
Triple life with a gang enhancement
The judge triple white and he hate your blackness
Slam the gavel with a racist passion
Got you waitin' on appeals but your patience passin'
All you've got to offer is a fight
It's too late to run to Christ once you caught up in this life
Look
[Hook]
So face the world now or cry
[Verse 2]
Look
Don't cry tears, they don't fly here
And if you don't die here, you supposed to fly lears
365 here is like a dog year
No wonder why these niggas 20 and got white hairs
Stressin' like they 40 and some change
Slowly in this game, all my homies is in pain
And brodie is the slang, but it don't mean he your brother
It don't mean you can trust him, it don't mean that he love you
And we was raised wrong but we stayed strong
And when we kept it real, we got faked on
And when we showed up, we got flaked on
While them niggas story's gettin' cake holmes
I bet my life I'm a dice shaker
Electric lights on a skyscraper
Was up and downs for a real nigga
But you'll be lame all your life, hater
Mac-10 in my black Benz
Show me signals of betrayal, can't be back friends
Long flights get my mind right
Victory to me is when you spend your time right
Victory to me is when you get your grind right
Victory to me is when you get your moms right niggas
Got this shit twisted like Jean-Michel Basquiat destroyed his pictures
Self-inflicted homicide, don't pull the trigger
I feel like I got to tell you you got something to contribute
Regardless what you into, regardless what you been through
I feel like I got to tell you you got something to contribute
Something to contribute
[Hook]
The lyrics FACE THE WORLD of NIPSEY HUSSLE is also present in the album Crenshaw (2013)
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!
