    Nip a Leo, this is beautiful! Proud to have been on 16th of August, a day after Nip's C-Day. And we just happen to share the "Joseph" name. TMC

    You were one of the ones who gave Nip his flowers while he was around to smell them. I still remember that interview when you told him how you were so inspired and cried.

    When I'm feeling unmotivated I search for Nipsey content and recharge. Today, I found this. Thank you for these words. I really needed them.

      My sentiment exactly I needed a recharge today from Nipsey. I found this, absolutely beautiful and watched the interview again repeatedly.

    We lost a beautiful spirit, but thank God we still have his legacy. Nip was like a lion, just trying to lead his pack to greatness. He was a true leader that lit up a fire within each of us. What a beautiful piece of art letty.

    “Imma tell you like I love you and I don’t even know you.”
    if anybody out there is somehow still wondering why this is why
    He was special all you had to do was listen

    Beautiful poetry for a gift from God.Ermias was trying to uplift and teach and his own pride slaughtered him.He will never die because I will always remember the lessons that he gave us from his pain and experience and his music children and philanthropy will continue to inspire.Rest in perfect peace with your creator Ermias.

      @Pistol Pixie She was, but she definitely let him know how special he was to her and our culture. When she opened the interview by saying "I cried to you last night" was ground shaking to me. Her ora matched his grace and wisdom. So glad she gave him his flowers while he was still here. He left a blue print for us to follow. He did his part and did it masterfully. It's time for us to finish out the Marathon. The work doesn't stop because our angel has made heaven his home. WE have to keep going. WE have to let him know we heard him and understood.

    I knew a lion
    Who led power to his surroundings
    He cultivated pride land
    In a place long overlooked
    He mastered grace
    Walk his plains
    And you’ll know why the trees sing
    Once wounded birds
    Will share how he nudged them
    He assured them
    Flying was their right
    Regardless of the circumstance
    His gift
    A key
    Unlocking the healing of one’s nature
    Just by acknowledging
    It was there
    Vultures loomed
    So this lion leveled
    “I was built off ancient laws, yes
    And you expect a hefty serving, I know.
    But as I stand
    You’ll starve
    Not because I’ll strike you
    But because I’ve struck reorder
    Within my kingdom
    I’ve woke strength from the weak
    Thought from the unknowing
    Preparedness from the hopeless
    And defense from those exposed
    And if you take me
    Be aware
    What you seek to diminish
    Will only magnify.”
    This lion wasn’t fearless
    But this lion understood
    If he’s to follow through God’s plan
    Flight for him is not a choice
    FIGHT for them, was
    The day he fell our land fell, sick.
    But imagine a roar that never ends.
    That’s how his demonstration permeates
    Everlasting
    Strong
    And strengthening to all who recognize
    Our lion laid down all he had
    And shared all he knew
    So that if you hear him
    You might allow him
    To wake
    The Lion
    In you
    Great Poem.
