Jack G - Don't Knock the Hustle lyrics

[Verse 1] We all dream big but we got little ambition To make it a reality you gotta make it your mission You got a mind state but it's locked on failure You want success because your lifes been hell, ya Want out of the rut. Yeah. You just want your cut But you gotta work for it homie, life is not a s*ut Who, when you ask for the p**y, she just gives it up Nah, you gotta work her up And when you're pushed down, kicked out, you come up swinging Even when you're almost out, and them bells are ringing You want success more than you want the air But when them new Jordans are out you go and cop a pair You're living a contradiction. You wondering what's missin' That'd be your work ethic which is flat out pathetic You wanna provide for your family but your stagnant You're a disappointment and your name is Jack b**h, uh [Chorus] Don't knock the hustle, don't knock the hustle Don't knock the, don't knock the, don't knock the hustle uh Don't knock the hustle, don't knock the hustle Don't knock the, don't knock the, don't knock the hustle Don't knock the hustle, don't knock the hustle Don't knock the, don't knock the, don't knock the hustle Don't knock the hustle, don't knock the hustle Don't knock the, don't knock the, don't knock the hustle uh [Verse 2] f** it. Cuz now I'm coming up swingin' First verse gave me a real look, look at what's missin' Got a look at my mission, now I'ma grab my vision Sick of living this life but I'm even sicker Of wishing for sh** to get better on its own I'ma spaz on the microphone Life is cause and effect and I'ma cause my future Strife is inevitable, in fact that's the sh** I'm used to But I ain't gonna lose my future over some sh** that y'all are thinking I'ma float to the top while the rest of y'all are sinking Allow me to catch my breath... (Pause) I'ma destroy the rest Of anyone who'll test My dream is closer to being achieved Every second of my life, it's the sh** I need Cuz man I need to succeed. Yeah I need to succeed Like a ho I'm sick of living life down on my knees Lord knows I'll be damned if I fall But even if I do, I'ma give it my all [Chorus] [Verse 3] We all dream big but got little ambition But f** it all, cuz now I'm coming up swinging Now this ain't redundant but I can see my vision That first verse gave me a real look, look at what's missing Second showed me I'll do anything for my destiny Time, effort, need. You know that's the recipe And it's time to release the energy that rests in me It'll manifest in bars to tear apart my enemies Watch my mind elevate to the level of the greats I'ma escalate to fame, you all just sit and wait I'ma do it for my grandmama, do it for myself I only care if it's hot, boy. f** if it sells I do it for the props. I do it for hip-hop I'ma spit till the end cuz this is all I've got I spit to release the sh** that's locked, locked in my head And if I don't blow up, sh**, I'm better off dead [Chorus]
