My H.U.D.

I had to smoke, grab a fade, pay and give him a tip
Every time I get a cut, he explains what it is to be confident in the mind and business
Savvy at the same time
He's like my mentor, always helping me through my grind

After I'm done, I head to Pops for a mixtape
Two for ten, but since I know the bootlegger, I get two for eight
To hear the latest, the greatest
DJ's be playing, got like sixteen songs

From the south, I find it amazing
Just a few years ago, N.Y. was the king
Just a few years ago, N.Y.'s in a sling
So I made it my job to bring N.Y. back

With that official street rap, lyrical combat
Me and my man in contact with Sean Carter's bodyguard
He said that Jay gon call, it hit my body hard
Then I remember, he's a regular guy, who made some good investments in his life

Now he's flying through the sky
He's got a lot of money
He's got a lot of money
He's got a lot of money

He's got a lot of money
He's got a lot of money
He's got a lot of money
He's got a lot of money

He's got a lot of money
That's Sean Carter
This is my H-U-D
H stands for Hungry

U stands for Understand
Ain't about the money
D stands for Determination
This is HUD, son

I don't think you know what you're facing
I carry a receipt book in my pocket
Everybody wanna know about these clothes
I be rocking

At first glance, they be like, Oh, that's Sean John
Then I tell them, look again
I don't know what it is
Got them fitted caps with printed microphones on the back

I'm a small-time business, but I plan to attract a global audience the minute I put HUD on
the map
I gotta stay in they face
There's no time to relax

MCs be killing me softly like Roberta Flack
Swear they're ahead of me, but all they got to show is a track
Talib said it, son
Talib said it, son

The industry wants an MC with drive and ambition
Head to 2HotTeez and order 20 more
Next thing you know, I have the IRS knocking at my door
I got my man Gary and his Pops

I got my man Gary in his Pops
I got my man Gary in his Pops
I got my man Gary in his Pops
I got my man Gary in his Pops

It's not gonna stop
It's really quite normal for me
There's plenty ways to make the world know about my HUD
I don't think you know what you're facin'

This is my HUD
H stand for hungry
U stand for understand
It ain't about the money

D stand for determination
This is HUD, son
I don't think you know what you're facin'
Stop off in Livingston to check the next big rock craze

My county stay busy, steady shock and amazed
Then me and Cuzzo get workin' on that new Hell's Kitchen
And I call my man Fuze, let him know some dudes trippin'
Which brings him out of retirement

He was gonna give up
Only because he knew the whole crew was sick as fuck
But we never got the love we deserved
And I don't think you know what you're facin'

This is HUD, son
I don't think you know what you're facin'
Then me and Cuzzo get workin' on that new Hell's Kitchen
And I call my man Fuse, let him know some dudes trippin'

Which brings him out of retirement
He was gonna give up
Only because he knew the whole crew was sick as fuck
But we never got the love we deserved

He was gonna leave it up to me to let HUD City be heard
The DP's on the verge of the next project
What other town you know hittin' em with all these concepts
Then it's off to Jenkins to visit mom and daddy on the deck drinkin' Captain

For them, that's where it's at
My brother comes outside wearin' my hat
That's the love I was talkin' about throughout this whole time
I don't think you know what you're facin'

Stop off in Livingston to check the next big rock craze
Cuz life's a rollercoaster, I'm tellin' you now to hold on
Cuz you can get thrown off if you ain't strapped in
Next thing you know you're on the ground bruised wonderin' what happened

Commish Daddy Weave and Don cookin' on the porch
They flag me down and tell me to grab a fork
As I sit and barbecue I think about and agree
There's plenty ways to make the world know about my

There's plenty ways to make the world know about my
HUD

H stands for hungry

This is HUD son, I don't think you know what you're facin'
This is my HUD
