Hustle, my name I, I live and sleep on these streets 'Cause I have got to get mine, my fam, see, we gotta eat So when people ask me why, why don't ever I slow down? Oh, I just simply reply, I don't really know how So I, hustle, hustle, hustle (I'ma hustler, believe me) You know I hustle, hustle, hustle (And this ain't easy) So I hustle, hustle, hustle (I'ma hustler, believe me) You know I hustle, hustle, hustle (And this ain't easy) Money and muscle I gotta black belt in hustling I'm doing my thang Chain around my neck look like a playground swing Unit mover, pockets fat like Raspushia Ask your chick, I got oil on my tongue Pimp, I talk real slick, where the real ones go They don't make them like me no more Hustler, I'ma whole 'nother animal I'ma whole 'nother animal, I'ma whole 'nother beast I can never switch up, I come from the streets Papered up like a fax I'm rare like white running backs I'm getting my Gouda I'ma be the first hustler that set up shop on Jupiter I, I live and sleep on these streets 'Cause I have got to get mine, my fam, see we gotta eat So when people ask me why, why don't ever I slow down?
