The Marathon Continues (Nipsey Tribute)

That's why I called my thing The Marathon Because I, I'm not gon' lie and portray, um, this ultimate poise Like I been had it figured out Nah, I just didn't quit That's the only distinguishing quality From me and probably whoever else is goin' through this or Went through this, or is gonna go through this Is that I ain't quit I went through every emotion I went through every emotion with tryna pursue what I'm doing You know what I mean? And I think that what, what's gon' separate whoever's gon' try to go for something is that You ain't gon' quit That's, you know, you really gon' take the stance of I'ma die behind what I'm gettin' at right here (You are now listenin' to AraabMUZIK) Your voice keep playin' in my head Don't wanna believe you dead No way that no nigga killed you I know that's not what I read, Goddamn Nip We was both rollin' but you was really my man Nip You made me proud to tell the whole world I'm a damn Crip This marathon gon' continue, nigga I can't quit This marathon gon' continue, nigga I can't quit This marathon gon' continue, nigga I can't quit I can still hear you screamin' "Neighborhood" Dirt Gang when you would see me, why they hate on cuz I just sent you a song, was waitin' on your verse We was doin' a tape together, they ain't know your worth Nobody told me after Freaky died it's gon' get worse They ain't understand your vision You spoke for all them nights I was hungry, we shake in prison But they just hate you did it I asked you how to start a clothing line, you had me out on Slauson Blue Laces was my shit, the blueprint to bein' bosses You created that Remember when you played that beat for Clarity?
