Chosen Lyrics

Verse 1

Look so many n*ggas doin time
Who are you and I
To play wit it
It's a blessing
So reach for the sky
Pick up Shady off
The block and we gun
Smoke and drive
Politicing on a plot
To make it multiply

Keep some bitches on the team
From the other side
Keep at least a pound of green
Muthafucking right
30 hours in the spot
Going over time
Then we pull up to the fox
And don’t hold a dime

You know this life got a co-design
How you go from eating lobster tail
To the ocean prime?
The chain to a smoker
It throw it on the line
& when them gates close keep
A open mind
It ain't no force in this world
Like a focused drive
You gotta focus on yaself
Like a only child
You make ya dream realer
Then you make ya team better
You make yo game up
Then you make ya scheme better
Bridge - Nippsey
Yeahh
Since when do real niggas come second?
So I kick the door down
Get more down
N*gga need atleast like 30 fo the show now
Woah now
Realest outta So Cal
Baby wanna f*ck, I'm like slow down
I’m eating cheese eggs in my hotel
Hussle sold out
N*gga retail and whole sale


Verse 2 - Dave East
Projects to the Condo
Thinking bout should I decorate
Only motivation I eva needed
Was section 8
Pissy stair cases
Rats and roaches
Wasn't resting late (i'm up)
Coke and Dope we separate
Ain't bagged it yet
They better wait
That 600 Black
Mercedes Benz
I love tha features
Free my cousin Addiz
They caught em wit 100 pieces
Foreign visas, smoking in Japan
I'm from the cement
One of da homies start telling
I ain't wanna believe it
(Fuck)
Backwoods still burning out
Maserati merkin
This that shit that they ain't heard about
Certified in person
Real n*ggas serve a purpose
Write my life out
In these verses
Clarity in this Rollie
My bitch into Fendi purses
On Slauson wit no license
Nippsey told me bring a 2 liter
20,000 on me
I just made that shit
Off two features
Cuzzo just came home
& All he asking for is new sneakers
Sun up to Sun down
I use to trap
I was like who need it?
Outro - Nippsey
I'm like fuck it though
Cuz when you flat broke
You ain’t nothin bro
I seen a gang
Of rich n*ggas get comfortable
Then lookin at they watch
Like where tf it go
Through my eyes I learn lessons
Like time is of the essence
& my grind got obsessive
Then my mind got restless
Put myself in the game
No batteries sold separate
Question?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
