Talk to 'em (oh, baby, ooh)
It's what hustlas do (oh, baby, mh)
and this hustla gon' (oh, baby,
Let me tell you what this fellow like
Caught somewhere between stop and go like yellow lights,
hustla, so I gotta get it mellow right
'round the clock, bezel like
I roll like cherry red Jell- O dice
Watch, just the pot calling the kettle wife
This Paul McCain is my ball and chain,
Hopefully I won't fall and hang
Like pictures on the walls
look at what it all became
Good and all, but look at what all remains
All the floor and thangs,
marks from all the claws and fangs
Apologizing to all of y'all I blamed
And you ain't did it 'til a hustla do
And you ain't know it til
And you ain't seen it 'til you
seen it from a hustla's view
Open your eyes, this a hustla's song
God forgive if this hustla's wrong
It's bigger things so we Cosa Nostra Striving
I speak it now with a number
Youngest son runnin' from,
Thou shall not sin, thou shall not steal,
Thou shall not turn your back
I try to flip, but this government switch
Keeps me at this chosen speed
And I rolls with reasons to stay
'Til I leave with what I sow,
Leave my son with the sum of what
Probably heading for the pin
Kept it directed at the pen and
And you ain't did it 'til a hustla do
And you ain't know it til
And you ain't seen it 'til you
seen it from a hustla's view
Open your eyes, this a hustla's song
God forgive if this hustla's wrong
It takes a lot of patience,
I ain't the nigga to be placin' it on,
I was the king of this city
Now they replacin' the throne
I know it's a lot of hatin' waitin' at home
you can hear the bass in her tone
Like she can't make it alone,
And she need a brace for the bones
A lot of ballin' up letters,
a lot of erasing the poems
A lot of comin' to grips with the fact
that you gon' be facing alone
all this time you was wrong
And when whatever that happen
They was happy to drop you
No letters or shoes, no cheddar
And you ain't did it 'til a hustla do
And you ain't know it til
And you ain't seen it 'til you
seen it from a hustla's view
Open your eyes, this a hustla's song
God forgive if this hustla's wrong
