[Intro: Lil Wayne]

Let you know something about me

I'm a Southern boy! Know what I'm talking about?


[Chorus: Ned Cameron]

I remember all the days stuck in December

Caught in the rain, all the pain, having no money come my way

But now I'm making money even when I sleep

Eyes wide awake, but I really need a dream

We hustle, hustle


[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

I go by Weezy, baby, so call me "Lil Weezle"

My city is New Orleans, baby, my street is Eagle

And that's my nigga's ?

He like to break a piece

He got the gun, I got the rope, my nigga pick a tree

Ain't talking money, I let the nickel speak

Niggas think I'm cheap, you ain't gon cent to me

The only thing to be: a picture on your shirt

No homo: I put your dick in the dirt

Flip em like a shovel with that wrist work

I stop ya, heard? I keep em coming like clockwork

J cool with the jump, it's an outburst

And we gon' be from South Philly til the South dirt

Baton Rouge, Lafayette or the Outskirts

It's lilWeezyana stay in your house jerk,

This ain't a concert, this ain't a hot verse

This a lot worse, so hear the shot burst:


[Chorus: Ned Cameron]

I remember all the days stuck in December

Caught in the rain, all the pain, having no money come my way

But now I'm making money even when I sleep

Eyes wide awake, but I really need a dream

We hustle, hustle

Every hustle, we hustle, hustle hey!


[Verse 2: Kid Ink]

Straight from the bottom, now I'm high as a mountain

From the city where you need way more protection than a condom

Had a dream but I'm conscious, see the veins in my sockets

In the sky, wishing I could turn this plane into a rocket

And just leave here, more money but the problems still live here

I feel the pressure from my lil peers

Cause I'm about to blow, Swisher Sweet breathe in

One hit, lose your breath, all I do is (breathe) win

Big fish swimming in the deep end

No present, fuck I'm into pretense

I remember rainfall in the street

Now I'm in the club: watch me make this bitch precipitate

I promised to myself I would be the best

You could say I'm crazy or a mess

Just hand me a wrench

And it's nothing you can tell a ho

Life is just a bitch, I'll forgive her but I'll never forget


[Chorus: Ned Cameron]

I remember all the days stuck in December

Caught in the rain, all the pain, having no money come my way

But now I'm making money even when I sleep

Eyes wide awake, but I really need a dream

We hustle, hustle
