"Bigger Than Life" lyrics

[Nipsey Hussle:]
What up?
What it do?
Music Corner
I'd like to welcome everybody out tonight
Welcome all the new marathon members
To the experience of a lifetime
I need your hands up though
Yeah, look

I don't want your love, it's not why I make music
I owe myself, I told myself back then that I would do this
And I always look so out of reach, it just seems so confusing
That I felt my place in life, a young black man, it's seems so useless
But I don't want no help, just let me suffer through this
The world would not know Jesus Christ if there was never Judas
This knife that's in my back'll be the the truth that introduced us
And the distance in between us is the proof of my conclusion
So life is what you make it, I hope you make a movement
Hope your opportunity survives the opportunist
Hoping as you walk across the sand you see my shoe print
And you follow 'til it change your life, it's all an evolution
And I hope you find your passion 'cause I found mine in this music
But I hope it's not material 'cause that's all an illusion
And they're all in collusion
This racist institution double standard
Acting like they're not the reason we ruthless
But tonight

[June Summers:]
Tonight is my night, this is my moment
Feeling bigger than life but I gotta own it
It's a victory
Let's make history

[Nipsey Hussle:]
Don't judge me by my progress
Look

Look at where I started and look at where I'm standing
Y'all can say it's luck but I know that it's planning
Shout out to the pain that gave me understanding
Shout out to my gang, it turned me to a savage
So niggas could say what they want to but I go through what you haven't
But it's not ego driven, it's not me boasting and bragging
This road I chose to go down, hard to slow down when in traffic
In order for me to grow, I had to let go of some habits
And it's easy to say I'm on now 'cause you see it, and it happened
But before it ever did, I had to believe and get it cracking
So I'm gon' take you back then, 32 shots and my MAC-10
With a dream minus the means, my early teens was fucking tragic
And deep inside my mind is buried crimes you can't imagine
That I wrestle with at night, demons that I fight I can't get past it
So no matter how straight your cash get, it don't matter if you plastic
We was looking for the lights and all we stumbled 'cross was flashes
But tonight

[June Summers:]
Tonight is my night, this is my moment
Feeling bigger than life but I gotta own it
It's a victory
Let's make history

[Nipsey Hussle:]
So if it's meant, then it's gon' be
People love it 'cause they know that this the real me
The cops hate it, so they hope my homies kill me
But I ain't want the fame, I just wanted y'all to feel me
It's my time so I'm going in
We ball 'til we fall, fuck how the story ends
I see these niggas hating, I know you hoes plotting
I ain't worried 'bout it 'cause I know God got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)
Say I know God got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)
Yeah, I know God got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)
Yeah, I know God got me
See, I ain't worried 'bout it
'Cause I know God got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)
Got me (Got me)

Once in a lifetime shit, you know?
This song dedicated to everybody out there with a motherfucking dream
Fuck what they say, do your shit

[June Summers (Nipsey Hussle):]
Tonight is my night (Marathon, nigga)
This is my moment (This shit ain't gon' stop 'til I say it's gon' stop)
(It ain't gon' stop 'til you say it's gon' stop)
Feeling bigger than life
(And it ain't gon' be unless you make it)
But I gotta own it
(It's your time, get up off your ass)
A victory (10 toes down you here)
(I swear to God I shed tears in this booth, nigga)
Let's make history

[Nipsey Hussle:]
For my niggas that's gone
For my niggas that can't be here with me
For the ones that is
Shout out my beautiful little girl Emani
Shout out my big bro Black Sam
Shout out my nigga Fats
Shout out my bro Adam
Shout out my A and Bs
You know what this is, it's the motherfucking marathon
And this shit ain't gon' stop, man
One hundred (One hundred, one hundred, one hundred)
