Too Late Lyrics

They only care when it's too late

They only care when it's too late

I got, no number ones but I'm dope tho

I put on for every one in my zip code

I illustrate vividly bout the way of the streets

But since my name ain't Jay no one listen to me

I don't glorify the struggle

I exemplify the hustle

I put my money where my mouth is

My talk ain't cheap

I did

What I said that I wanted to do

I bought my own block

Made opportunities too

And I would've done more

If a coward ain't shoot

Not only killed me, killed what I was about to do

Now

That I'm dead my popularity grew

People calling me the modern day Martin Lu

The way I brought the folks together

Like a six point star I'm loyal to the soil

Reppin Crenshaw dude

If you don't know who I am

Brought you the marathon

Last time that I checked

I go by Nip Hussle RIP

You only care when it's too late

They only care when it's too late

You only care when it's too late

Why why why why why why

Why they only care man

When it's too late

Nobody checked on me

Even though I was crying

I stay up all night

Wondering why I'm alive

Thinking what's the point of living

If I'm dying inside

I just wanna be king

If I said I didn't I'd be lion

But my scars run deep

So even when I am trying

It still ain't enough

I feel like I'm in cuffs

I wonder what they'll say

Cuz they couldn't see my pain

Noose wrapped around neck

And I'm daring to jump

This ain't a, Bluff

I promise you that

I know they'll say I'm selfish

They'll say that I'm weak

You just don't know

How I been fighting these demons

What's the, meaning IDK

I'm so, misunderstood

Cuz I don't know what to show

How the fuck can you aggregate the sum all of my struggles and come to the conclusion that you think I am good

I gave you, signs

On top of signs, I gave away all my valuables

Like I didn't mind

I stopped doing my passions

I lost all my drive

You didn't see me at all

You walked around blind

And now you tryna show love

Now Jus because I died

What the fuck

You only care when it's too late

They only care when it's too late

You only care when it's too late

Why why why why why why

Why they only care man

When it's too late
