Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. This is your host, Nees Showbo. Today is another episode of

books and bars. It's where I break down excerpts from books that I'm reading, bars from music that I'm

listening to in hopes to share the pass on the wisdom with you. And not that wisdom is black and white,

but my version of wisdom, what I see in it, give you my take on it.

And so I'm going to continue with, I've been listening to a ton of Nipsey lately,

and the more I listen, the more I realize how powerful he was,

and the more grateful I am that he left his extremely

dense body of work with us before he passed.

For those of you don't know, and Nipsey Hustle was shot and killed in front of his store

some weeks back.

And there's a lot of people hurt.

There's a lot of people also inspired by his legacy. And so what I want to do is break down an excerpt from one of his songs today that really speaks to how he was thinking.

And actually it's kind of eerie listening to what he's talking about and the truth

that he was spitting but I want to show you more of the wisdom behind what he was saying and show

you what it meant to me all right so this is this is an excerpt from mark my words

featuring Rick Ross be crock go ahead and drop that we're going to break it down I'm deaf

Mughal in the making autonomous black businesses.

Broken culture that we all lost niggas,
