Hate The Hu$$le

Man what brings you up here and coming and you know
How come you not blingin' and
Having all kinda
Crazy diamonds and all that
I guess you here to get ya money right huh
All the time I mean you know allat
It's cool for the image and allat
But all them is liabilities, you feel me
I rather invest in some real estate
You know what I'm saying
Wait can you repeat that again man
You an up and coming artist
What did you say you wanted to do
I say invest in some assets as opposed
To trick off on some liabities
Like diamonds you know what I'm saying
Cars that lose value soon as you drive em
Off the lot
So you tryna get land
Exactly homie
A real asset take care of my peoples you feel me

I was broke now they look at me like I got
Was really down bad ain't really have no option
Double the revenue just triple up the profit
They hate the hustle but they know that they can't stop it
I was broke now they look at me like I got (like I got it)
Was really down bad ain't really have no option
(I ain't have no option)
Double the revenue just triple up the profit (triple up the profit)
They hate the hustle but they know that they can't stop it
(Man they know that they can't stop it)

I got the game but the hustle sold separately
Chosen child so I feel it's in my destiny
Apply that pressure no brakes we hitting all gas
Serving hand to hand naw I don't do DoorDash
Got it on lock how I be moving Os
This Zaza ain't cheap this 400 a zone
Every other week might catch me on a beach
They say that talk is cheap I wanna ice my teeth
I be cooling with 2 chains and 4 pockets full
Call me Ace I really got my name off paid n full
The Money cars and clothes don't mean shit to me
Me and Beezy tryna make records and history
I gave em my story gave em my pain
You got a fast car we in different lane
I'm just racing pacing but I'm not from Indiana
I spit this country grammar she go down like Alabama

It look good but at the end of the day
You losing value homie
It ain't appreciating it's depreciating
Material things ain't nothing you feel me
At the end of the day it's who you is you know
You wasn't born with it, you gone die without it
So allat, as far as that angle is like
I feel that's insecurity

I was broke now they look at me like I got
Was really down bad ain't really have no option
Double the revenue just triple up the profit
They hate the hustle but they know that they can't stop it
I was broke now they look at me like I got (like I got it)
Was really down bad ain't really have no option
(I ain't have no option)
Double the revenue just triple up the profit (triple up the profit)
They hate the hustle but they know that they can't stop it
(Man they know that they can't stop it)

They hate the hustle cuz they see I'm never letting up
I was down bad and all i said was hurt gotta get up
That's where them losers stay, I gotta make a way
Even when I'm down to my last I bet my son straight
On my slow grind pacing this a marathon
Waiting for my chances at the plate Barry Bonds
Swinging for the fence no bunting I sacrificed
Now I'm all in for the win I need paradise
I be coolin with my team cuz my circle tight
Call me Hurt I got my name off NBA Live
I was balling back then and ain't much change
Just no more Fat Joe in the club I make it rain
This part of my story in a tough game
I'm tryna come up from a no name
They say I spit heat but it ain't from Texarkana
When I'm on cameras you see my gift like Santa

It's like I look at my music like snapshot of my neighborhood
You feel me
What's your neighborhood like
Lots of big houses, pools, nice police officers and everything
Naw nothing like that you feel me

I was broke now they look at me like I got
Was really down bad ain't really have no option
Double the revenue just triple up the profit
They hate the hustle but they know that they can't stop it
I was broke now they look at me like I got (like I got it)
Was really down bad ain't really have no option
(I ain't have no option)
Double the revenue just triple up the profit (triple up the profit)
They hate the hustle but they know that they can't stop it
(Man they know that they can't stop it)

You know I went to East Africa where my peoples is from
Like 2 years ago
Lot of people don't know man in East Africa and Somalia
And all those places they have the war poets out there
All that rap stuff that we do today came from that area
Am i right am I lying
Naw that's real talk you know what I'm saying
It come from struggle people hope they express they struggle
When you ain't got no other mean of you know liberating yourselves
It's through spoken word and expression
You feel me so
Its relative out there as well you know what i mean
They relate to our struggle
You feel me
