(feat. Omar and Dart Chillz)
[Common] My eyes watch God from a place Where times is hard, hard times we embrace Everybody want a yard, cuz a yard means space Being broke is odd and leaves an odd taste In the mouth of the metropolitan The hustle is hollarin' Beautiful minds grind, grind for the dollarin' Whether dice scholarin' or white collarin' We all taught hustle to prophet like Solomon The young play corners, Sean Jean modelin' They get it from they momma, black music is fatherin' Blue and whites flash lights like parliment In court non-whites, wishin' they had Cocharan Tell your guy and them, yo the blocks hot again Aunties walking to liquor stores in moccasains My guy got a gig, on the side he barberin' Married a foreign chick so she could get a green card up in the hustle [Chorus] [Common] Just put it in your back and hustle The paper's stacked so hustle [Omar] Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that [Common] Just move, and shake, and grind and hustle It's on your mind so hustle [Omar] Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that [Dart Chillz] First to the third, I'm close to the curb Toast to the bird, now I'm posted to serve Heard is a verb when you pour dirt on the floor Bill collecters and the roaches working your nerves It's a ghetto truck for a ghetto boy To get in them ghetto streets and get him a ghetto toys So he can come so just work murder rate is increasin' I don't give a fuck long as my coke is decent And my rims blind the whole damn precinct Everytime you see a head in my lap you know she sinked I know I'm dead in this trap, that's not how we think Fifty shells all around on the ground, can't catch a weak blink Five went through me, two stayed in me to do my duty Only thing that subdued me Two weeks, same corner, new freaks New geese, all white AND 1's new sneaks [Chorus] [DJ Joe Sinista scratches bridge] "Can't knock the hustle!" "The Hustle!" "I'm in" "Im in" "I'm in too deep" "deep to sleep!" "Can't knock the hustle!" "The hustle!" "Caught up in the hustle!" "I'm gettin' high" "Can't knock the hustle!" "The Hustle!" "I'm in" "Im in" "I'm in too deep" "deep to sleep!" "Can't knock the hustle!" "The hustle!" "Gotta hustle up!" "I got to have it, have it...have it" (echos out) [Common] Some rhyme, some throw shows, some sow clothes Some hobo at the junction inbetween cars Some enter in functions inbetween stars Some teach, some preach saying they seen God Some put they money up, against me odds Flippin' real estate yo, stocks and bonds Dreams of rollin El Derado's bumpin' El DeBarge Whatever the dreams, stay on ya deem the world is ours, its the hustle [Chorus] - repeat 2X [DJ Joe Sinista] "Gotta hustle up!" "Stay hustlin'!" "Gotta hustle up!" "Stay hustlin'!" "Gotta hustle up!" "Stay hustlin'!" "Gotta hus-" "hustle up!" "Stay hustlin' hustlin' hustlin'!" (echoes out) |
