Life Told Through Rap - Victory Lap
The life of Nipsey Hussle, told in the form of epic poetry
Author’s note: This is a work of fiction. The only thing real about this story is the music.
Sing, O muse, about the life of Ermias Asghedom, a life filled with triumph and tragedy, success and strife
Sing about his ambition, his resilience, his light that burned brighter than Helios’ sun
Sing of the boy of Slauson that became the pride of Eritrea, the bard who sold his words by the thousands yet inspired millions
Sing of the meeting of souls, of laughter and rides on horseback, of a love that transcended the physical into the spiritual
Sing, O muse, about a run worthy to enter the fields of Elysium, a run that began and ended at Marathon
