This shape of this song influences the effectiveness of Nipsey Hussles story because he talks about his life in this song and how he got to success.

He starts off saying how he's been grinding all his life and making sacrifices, which may have been a very low time for him in life just trying to come up. He then goes on to talk about how he married the game and that's what he is fully committed to. When he says he's married to the game he is referring to the music industry, as this was a turning point in his life because he's finally rising up.

After that he hits a more stable part of life as he is already succesful he says "Successful street n**** touchin' his first mil." He finally made it and is at a pont in life where he could also say so.

The last thing he does in the song is reflect on his life from a succesfful point of view. He say "Look, I got everythin' I said I was gon' get on my kid, In addition to the fact I went legit." At this point he's talking about how he's finally at the top and accomplished his dreams he had as a kid, all while doing it legally.

The shape of this story really goes from low to high and influences the effectiveness of the song a lot.
