1. Nipsey, living

Nipsey, living 
master, maker, marathoner 
of money feeding hungry geniuses
restless in Crenshaw residential
Wish-granter, flower and pollinator after the rain
he walks, shadow giant,
past low-rises calling
​his name

Nipsey, living
heat in business incubator
down the street from the rink where 
black kids roll to oldie records
Hip-hop, big culture, 
futures in young ears
transforming all those dreams
in heads of engineers

Nipsey, living
​lapping victors, finish line forgotten
he's going further, model for all of the others
Nipsey, living
living
