[Intro: movie sample (Kryme Life) {Trife Da God}]
A n***a like me, man, I love the game, I love the hustle, man
I be feeling like one of them ball playing n***az, you know?
A Bird, a Magic, or something, yeah, you know a n***a got dough
A n***a can leave the league, but if I leave.
The fans still gonna love me, man?
I get love out here, I done sold coke on these streets, man
Hash, weed, h**n, as long as n***az is feeling it
A n***a like me can hustle it, that's my gift in life, eh
You know? Funny man, you a hustling muthaf**er, man
(Uh, I heard it was rocking out here, where the dough at, man?)
{You know how what it is}
(These n***az out here, yeah, they got the move straight up)
{Aiyo, next fiend that come thru, I'm tackling them, I don't give a f**}
(What the f** you looking at man?) {I need like five sales in a row, man
Y'all n***az fall back} (What the hell my n***az at, man, straight up and down man
We ain't playing out here) {I'm out here, right now, man
Everything is me, when I'm out here, man} (Take a break or get broke)
[Chorus x4: 50 Cent sample "Places to Go"]
Hustle hard, money stack, sell that dope, sell that crack
Sell that pack, sell that gat, sell that p**y, holla back!
[Trife Da God]
We hustle hard in the city of Gods, with dedicated dealers
Take this sh** for a serious job
Thugs with hideous scars, bag the prettiest broads
And teach 'em how to move coke, in they panties and bra's
My pops stayed on the hustle, cuz the family was large
No fancy cars, no shrimp scampi or caviar
Just a cold plate of agony, mixed with a harsh reality
f** a donation, we started our own charities
We had to hustle, we ain't caking like Russell
So if you live how we live, you can relate to the struggle
Me and my n***az running wild like some apes in the jungle
Paper chasing, serving fiends, at the gate when they come through
This one's for all my Newport slingers, dope heads that'll chew off fingers
Just to shoot that thing up, get on ya grind
'Cause while your getting yours, I'm getting mines
If you need some tips on how to hustle, drop me a line
[Chorus x4: w/ ad-libs]
[Trife Da God]
Hustle hard, that's the only way a n***a know how
Been grinding most of my life, and I ain't gon' stop now
Growing up, I remember them days, slinging that beige
Pumping trays on the first of the month, n***az was paid
I learned the tricks of the trade, with the flip or the save
When you bag up, wear rubber gloves and clean off the blade
I used to watch my older brother carve stones at the table
And my moms home, it was new to my 'view', like Star Jones
In and out of buildings, lamping in halls with eight balls
Way before they had the cameras installed
That was 9-7, when Biggie Smalls gave us the script
The Ten Crack Commandments on how to manage your bricks
Shopping bags, popping tags, with the brand new in sh**
No more hand-me-down rags, my appearance was dipped
I'm on my grind like coffee beans, I'm gon' sale
Worldwide I got fiends on line like AOL
[Chorus x4: w/ ad-libs]
