The Hustle

So never give up
Without commitment, you'll never start
Yeah
But more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish So
Matrix on the beat
Keep working, keep striving, never give up fall down seven times get up eight
Wolf
Ease
Is a greater threat, to progress, than hardship
Aye yo
So keep moving, keep growing, keep learning
Look
See you at work

See them dudes around me, them's are bosses
Lions, part of the pride
Fuck with the Ghost or Jo
The response colossal
You not too cool to be uncool
Teach them fuckers Unc
Take them to school, show them the roots
Where a

Black thought resides
Deep in the mind of a
Black poet or the
Dangerous vine
No motha' fucker
We not your kind
We're a higher being, oddly seeing
A mix of an artist and a craftsman combined
Crooked flow got you feeling all kinds of repellent
I see you thought I ain't got the jawn you fucking bellend
Got the fire to put out hell and
Never tire, will never sell them
This soul of mine
Will forever reside inside
Been jotting these rhymes since I was 14
Been killing this mic about 2 years
Now they be telling me I lost the lead
My dogs and I be watching them laughing at the absurdity
The plan is set to take control of demand and get
A head
A leg
Or maybe mouth a song settle the debt
I'm owed
Smack them with the hands I once lent
The bones
Got them shook at that level you're in
Way out of your depth
Stray for the execs
Prey for the ill pens that
Aim with an intense
Dangerous rhymes without any pretence
Playing with minds with thoughts so complex
Got them looking for an apology for acting so cowardly
Remember doubting me now you be actin proud of me
These are the people you meet on the path they be
Asking a Kane from the
Able-bodied see
Youse like a Witcher they the crowd that be
Calling your name when they need you to kill monsters
Calling you names when the deed is done you lost them
Statements of shame by the weak they without honour
Don't mind the prey I can see straight through they morals

That's rough
How people look at you
How they respond to you
It's very hard
It's humiliating
See if easy comes easy what?
Easy goes
See but when you go at what you going to deal with and deal with the difficulties of it
When you handle the other things close at hand
Making those hard decisions right now
That you don't wanna make
Learning those things that you don't like to do
But you know that in order for you to get to where you wanna go this is one of the hoops that you have deal with

See them dudes around me, them's are bosses

Ready set go go go
Who wanna flow
Who wanna know
All so fast but really really slow
Talk about an inner glow
Keep it on the low low low
Till that shit blow blow blow
If it don't work stop, no no no no
Dust your self off and go go go
If you're not willing to break
You're not willing to make
How bad do you want it
You gotta' kill or be killed
Gotta' be beast before we call it
We go all in to go all out
Paper chase we ball out
Bar raised and roll out
Learn to learn when you lose
Thank the teacher when you win
Teach the crew when you the champ
Hustle hard hustle hard
Grind grind grind
Single mind single mind
Tunnel vision see the bigger picture
Only one picture
See the bigger picture
See the bigger picture
See the

Open your eye with your eyes
Let your mind's mind do the work
Understand the value of value
Re-evaluate aim fire
Now you know
Who got the fire
Now you know
Who got the hustle
Now you know
Who gonna'

One last question
At the end of your life whether it was
Allah who was saying it
Elijah
Mohamed or whether it was something that someone wrote about you after you're gone
What's the thing that you would most like people to say about your life
He was a great a champion or what
What would like people to think about you when you're gone
I'd like for them to say he took a few cups of love
He took one table spoon of patience
One table spoon tea spoon of generosity
One pint of kindness
He took one quart of laughter
One pinch of concern
And then he mixed willingness with happiness
He added lots faith and he stirred it up well
Then he spread it over a span of a life time
And he served it to each and every deserving person he met
Mohamed Ali thank you very much
