Hustler's Story

I was runnin' from life
Was taking' chances gotta roll up a dice
Was feeling unlucky like against all the odds
These streets is vicious swear you gotta be wise
As a youngin' didn't see it in time
Now everyday swear' it really is crime
Made a couple mistakes' but I never did time
Tanglewood' all we did was mob
Was hooping at the courts It ain't matter the times
Niggas would fake' so we just used to wreck
That's what you did' to get them to respect
Seen my first trigger' get pulled out the bag
Swear that shit' was wild
I was ridin' round with a couple niggas that I barely knew
Swear I wasn't thinking' I just made a move
Tryna be cool I ain't have a clue
Was about to get into

Yeah trouble was right in my rear view
I thought to myself on my mental

Just a young' nigga I ain't understand
Swear I wasn't focused' I ain't have a plan
Cause I was following' I wasn't leading
I didn't hear pops' he told me be a leader
Some folks they want you' to feel like you need em
I spit that real every time' that I'm breathing
Allergic to bullshit around it I'm sneezing
She just want attention she just like the teasing
It's a new game It's a whole different season
I feel like a vet I feel like I'm seasoned
I thought I told em' I'm here for a reason
I'm here for a while ain't no plans of leaving
Work this shit out I ain't press for no features
I'm back in the game I was stuck in them bleachers
Watch for the leaches I know they be creeping
I won't stop my mission until it's completed the critics be mad
They want me defeated
I told em' when started this shit wasn't leaving
I earn' my stripes in this shit like addidas
I keep it real from my head to my sneakers
Some counted me out' that's the shit that I needed
