[Verse 1]
They say life is short, but I don't really f** with that
I make it to the top and they still crying for their mummy back
I work really hard, don't care about those other friends
Who beat me up and robbed me when I really had no ends
I was born without sh** and still haven't got it
I led you to believe that I was glorious without it
When I was just a kid full of lonleyness and doubtless
I came up and I never cared about these f**en diamonds
But now that's all I want from this low income housing
Following my own b**h who really ain't about it
But we gon' make it work, and it's gon' pay off nicely
But there's just this one thing that I'm really wishing for
Going to New York just to see the real damn score
Sideline seats when Miami gon' k** they a**
Bron triple double then he gon' leave real fast
And I just wanna be myself and never ever dash
And that's the only way, that I could ever get paid
f** bootleg liqour that ain't the right way
Everything that used to be legal is now bad
Get the lawyer on the case, pack a suitcase and bag and I'm out
[Hook x2]
A real real hustle, a real damn hustle
Everybody do it like they all Bill Russell
I don't hustle hard, I hustle real smart
People still owe me money even when it's dark.
[Verse 2]
And then I get it quick, these b**hes all up on my dick
Just wanna be my own man and Ima just call it quits
b**hes used to say that all men are the same
That we just greedy and we never ever seek change
But f** it all when I'm in this awful rage
Leave me the f** alone while I contemplate
Or masturbate, whatever it is
You holding it down for your city, don't know where it is
And I'm sorry if I direspected you and the kid
But I had to, speaking my mind is the only way
Slay from far away like Biggie said and I'm amazed
Going out for the day and coming back at night
While I hustle all the time without a sign of life
And we just do it right, do it really raw
Watching p**nos on the iPad man you really saw
Verse after verse, yeah I really do that f**en work
Don't get a lot of money but I'm really gonna make it work
And that's all fine with me, if it's all really fine with you
Done with movies, dinner dates just tryna impress you
Damn I'm f**en special, came from circumstances
Was in the War tryna hide from the advances
Yeah that's really cool till the day you finally die
So what's the point of the hustle as time flies by then you gone
[Hook x2]
