Blue Dreams was created at Nippy Hustle Music Studio in Los Angeles, during a pivotal moment in Nippy Hustle’s journey—before his signing to Atlantic Records, when the focus was purely on craft, vision, and hunger.
The record came together in an intimate, independent studio setting where creative freedom drove every decision. Without major-label pressure, Nippy Hustle leaned into experimentation, late-night sessions, and raw emotion, allowing the music to reflect both ambition and reflection. The atmosphere was focused yet organic—built on instinct, real conversations, and a relentless work ethic.
Blue Dreams captures the mindset of an artist on the brink: dreaming bigger, working harder, and trusting the process before industry recognition arrived. The track stands as a snapshot of Nippy Hustle’s foundation—crafted in L.A., fueled by hustle, and rooted in authenticity.
Today, the song represents more than a record; it documents the moment before the breakthrough, when belief and grind mattered more than status.

SONG LYRICS: "BLUE DREAMS"
Nipsey Hussle & Juice Lee ft. Bad Karma - Explicit Version

It's your boy Juice Lee.
To make a long story short and a short story end...
The last person in the race with persistence & faith
Could become in first place.
PIMP HOP
HOOK - BAD KARMA
Lately all I do is sip that pink,
Smoke purple and count my green,
Got a yellow bitch and she dont even smoke no weed,
But she know how to role the swisher sweat,
And she read about a few nightmares I had,
So she know where I keep the blue dreams,
I don't mean to be rude nigha that's my bad,
Lately I been going thru some things
Caught between two new bitches at the pad
Counting cash how would you feel waking up as me
& she read about a few nightmares I had,
I might of told her how I blew a few dreams,
It was either I was to busy or its to bad,
But im smoking on purple or im sipping on pink...
Color blind
VERSE - NIPSEY HUSSLE
Now I aint tryna be rude but I aint tryna be cool,
nigga tryna Make moves see Im out her taking risk,
I been out here paying dues,
tryna make it make sense,
tryna pay my little rent,
throw the Lincoln on some rims,
problem pull up in a Benz,
put a Rollie on my rist,
put some food in the fridge,
make it n the Music Benz,
and I aint tryna be rude im just expressing my views,
money come and go,
women wanna have sex,
niggaz wanna be you promethazine and tattoos,
yellow bitches in my room with a stupid asss view,
counting up this green,
proud of what I do,
life is but a dream,
lighting up that blue,
seven days a week,
this is what I do.
hustle!And I aint tryna hear a nigha sad story talking bout how he doing bad
because its out here if you want it.
but bottom line you gone get it how you live
but when it comes to your nig I dont got nothing for you.. no hand outs
still I stand out..
every little pretty bitch in the city she can vouch,
how I started out the trunk of my cutlass with no clout,
now they pay me like I make free throws and run routs..
NBA money nigha basketball.
Its night time hustle take them glasses off,
its paper over pussy like elastic draws
and we gone keep it that way intel the casket falls, huh,
double cup those..
sleeping on a flight to where im bouts to go,
nighaz getting mad because they baby momma chose..
let your baby momma go go go ...
OUTRO - BAD KARMA
All I do is sip that pink...
