[Verse 1]

They say life is short, but I don't really fuck 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 shit 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 fucken diamonds

But now that's all I want from this low income housing

Following my own bitch 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' kill they ass

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

Fuck 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 bitches all up on my dick

Just wanna be my own man and Ima just call it quits

Bitches used to say that all men are the same

That we just greedy and we never ever seek change

But fuck it all when I'm in this awful rage

Leave me the fuck 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 Pornos on the iPad man you really saw

Verse after verse, yeah I really do that fucken 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 fucken 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
