Jay-z - My Music Hustle lyrics

My Music Hustle Real pain for a real n***a This small world made me feel bigger When life gives you the blues Use that pain to make a teal picture! (ChiYea) [Verse 1] Single parenting must have its toll All alone and can't never fold Cuz when they do then it all unrolls All of a sudden that kid in the streets, and on patrol You know, how it go. The story pretty cliche 46 shootings in just 3 days Blame it on the kids, cuz the little that they know Everyone forgot everything starts at the home (ChiYea) It starts with the soul, (ChiYea) next comes the foundation But that all starts to crumble when mom or dad become vacant! They one must search substance that something makes then complacent! It's in our soul to hustle. We been that way since the caveman! Then we came through slaveships, With our past erased and Now we out here thinking that we started in the basement We started at the top. The pyramids, we made them Now in concrete jungle, we dying all on the pavement! (Trapped!) [Chorus] (Hustle Cain, hustle clothes, or hustle music But hustle hard in any hustle that you pick) x4 [Verse 2] Close your eyes and tell me how you view a lunatic Understand, even that man has an exclusive gift! So don't judge anything that you never have witness Even that lil youngin who lookin like a statistic Cuz yea it may be true his father left him to hustle But he's his own man give him a chance he may love you! It don't make sense everywhere I see people are muggin! Trayvon Martin a procuct of this unjustice System. Trust me The difference is money All we know is get it, whether its clean or it's ugly This dirty game, ruby Is so sick, like stuffy Noses sniffing roses Bouta break apart like Moses! Give me water, flow hotter Then the solar, or a sauna! Cuz Like that youngin u was muggin we both hustled liked the Carter! But the only difference wasn't our grind it's how we used it He chose to hustle fiends, I chose to hustle music! [Chorus] Hustle Cain, hustle clothes, or hustle music But hustle hard in any hustle that you pick) x4 Real pain for a real n***a This small world made me feel bigger When life gives you the blues Use that painto make a teal picture! (ChiYea)
