Nick Jones - The Hustle
Nick Jones - The HustleVerse One:The struggle is a motherfuckerThe only way to come up straight out the gutter is to get you a hustleAnd lay your hustle down to the motherfuckin' fullestRight from the start, you gotta have heart to do thisIt's useless trying to live life legitimateAnd still get ahead? Please, who are you kidding with?I'm doing what the fuck I've gotta do for the dividendsA lot of niggas talk it but I'm actually living itSo take it from me, this is not to be glorifiedThe thought of getting caught will straight have your ass horrifiedCan't ever leave the house without packing a .45More niggas hustling just means that more will dieBut we gotta do it if we want to live betterLook, I ain't the one who made the world revolve around cheddarBut I am the one who said that I refuse to struggleSo until I get a better shuffle, I guess I gotta fucking hustleVerse Two:Me and my niggas can hustle anything that you give usWhether cocaine, weed, X, or pain killersIt don't matter to me because it all equals scrillaI gotta get mine so I'mma grind on the real-laBut my dilemma is that I actually feel guiltI know that I'm living wrong and I need to get a gripBut hustling's the only way a nigga can pay the rentWorking for pennies? Nah, that shit just ain't making centsBelieve that I've tried to do it the right wayThe only thing I've learned, living right does not paySo I gotta get it, ain't no way you can stop meI'mma keep it crackin' till the day that they drop meSo watch me, because I'm moving up fastLooking over my shoulder because I know it won't lastI need cash just to get my ass out the struggleAnd for now I owe it all to the hustleVerse Three:This is not a game, you can get yourself killedIf you hop into this shit and you can't keep it realMotherfuckers want to try? Fuck around and dieLike I said before, this ain't shit to glorifyYou better be yourself instead of living a lieAnd if you ain't built for this, then don't even tryCause the game will swallow you whole and spit you back outHave your ass flippin' walking with your gat outReady for war with whoever want to bring itMommy's little angel but now you a demonSteady fiending like the motherfuckn' fiends you sell toAn addict of the game, man, I'm sorry to tell youThat the life we lead doesn't have any futureYou get incarcerated or somebody'll shoot youBut who am I to judge because I'm nothing but troubleAnd I say fuck the struggle and so a nigga gotta hustle© 2005 Millinium VII Entertainment / Produced by D-Wattz / Mixed by D-Wattz / Recorded at M7 Studios / All Rights Reserved
