Life of a Hustler (Live)
If ya'll don't mind...
We gotta take it to the streets...
OH...
I'm on the corner 5 o'clock in the mornin'
Ain't had no sleep
I'm still yawnin'
Been stacking' paper by the pound
And everybody standin' round me
I'm watchin'
I ain't trustin' you as far as I can see you
Been livin' lies and I'm wishin' that they could be true
See I'm ten toes down in this game
And pushin' real hard
But until they pull my card
I'll just be...
Hustlin'
And gettin' by
Pushin' thangs
To get you high
Cuz only the man upstairs
He knows bout where
My life is headin'
(Might come up dead)
(But I ain't scared)
A double-cross and a snitch got me caught up
Holding some pounds and some keys
That I bought up
Investigation got me face to face with
Jail Time
Cooperation weighin'
Heavily on my mind
See I'm trapped inside this maze
And it ain't no way out
See I'm caught up in a daze
And I just cain't stay out
See this crazy crazy shit done got the best of me
And I'm needin' to be free from all this
Hustlin'
And gettin' by
Pushin' thangs
To get you high
Cuz only the man upstairs
He knows bout where
My life is headin'
(Might come up dead)
(But I ain't scared)
See, I've been some places
And I've seen some faces
I've fled in some chases
Got caught in some cases
BUT...
Long as I'm broke
They won't bother me
Now that I'm Hustlin
Police been bustin' in
Lawyers been musclin'
No one I'm trustin' in
My money be sure
And they cain't handle me
Naw, Naw, Naw
Cuz I'll be somewhere...
Hustlin'
And gettin' by
I'll be Pushin' thangs
To get you high
Cuz only the man upstairs
Only God Knows
He knows bout where
My life is headin'
(Might come up dead)
(But I ain't scared)
See
Long as I live
And while troubles arising
Lord if you listening
Please help me get out of the game
SAY LORD IF YOU'RE LISTENIN'
HELP ME GET OUT OF THE GAME
SAY LORD IF YOU'RE LISTENIN'
CUZ I'LL BE ON THE CORNER SOMEWHERE
SOMEWHERE
HUSTLIN'
LORD KNOWS, LORD KNOWS
We gotta take it to the streets...
