Various Artists - Hustle and Flow (It Ain't Over) lyrics

[Singer hums and ad libs for 22 seconds] [Djay] Look this is my life, and it's a battle within I gotta survive, even if I'm sinning to win And if I show no remorse I reap the devil's reward He said he'd give me riches but I'm lookin for more When I was young, witnessed my dad standing for right Black pride in him even though he pa**ing for white Took years from my life, now I'm missing the man Moms on some other sh** and now I'm missing the plan And so I'm stuck in this "f** The World" mode All the lessons to a young teen baby was cold Then my pimpin-a** Uncle put me up on the game It really ain't no love it's 'bout this, paper mayne Put me in a position, got me out on a mission Collecting from the hoes turned on to my pimpin A n***a from Memphis dealing with life as a struggle This is the gift I was given so I just live by my hustle [Hook 2X: Djay] + (singer, ad libbing at times) (Keep hustlin) It ain't over for me, no it ain't over for me (Keep, flowin) I'mma step my game up and get what's comin to me [Djay] Now I'm just gettin by, and it's fu*kIN with me See others doin big thangs they was nothin to me I'm seein what I used to be, and it's lookin legit Got my hands on some music, started fu*kIN with it Put it down hard, then I started bumpin to this I let some others get a dose and they was NUTTIN to this Let me check my connections cause we go back in the day Say they was lookin for 'dro, heard I was hustlin hay Got me connin my n***as, spittin game to my hoes This my opportunity I feel like anything goes I was never 'sposed to see the new millenium mayne And I refuse to let my dad die in vain So I give it my all, you feel my struggle and pain If you ain't feelin what I'm spittin trick you late to the game But the closest ones to me know I'm holdin it down You gon' feel me one day, we gon' be heard in the town [Hook] - 2.5X, singer ad libs to fade
