Hustler (feat. Vince Stevenson)
I'm sitting on the dock
Just passing my time
Back of my mind must be a coke fiend
How he's racking up lines
I write from the heart
So writer's block is arteries clogged
That's why my arts a part of me
And I might die if I stop
Most of my boys back home rotating crops on mountain tops
Cash money but the trouble is it's never enough
Watch what you spend your time on
Cause that's the cost of your life
I'd rather go out broke and happy
Than get sold for a price
Cause I've been wrestling with the devil
I've been hanging round an angel as well
But dreams ain't built on peaceful slumber
Every hustler gives up something
Just to trust that one day what he loves prevails
Low elevation snow last night it was a cold one
The trees bent their knees
Surrendering to no sun
Frozen blooded like there's ice in my veins
I'd rather go die with these sinners
Than go lie with these saints
It's liable to change
Till then I'm just riding the waves
The only thing we have inside us is the tide that remains
There's no heavenly gates
Or a happily ever after
Cause the love is temporary when its captured in a capsule
Cause I've been wrestling with the devil
I've been hanging round an angel as well
But dreams ain't built on peaceful slumber
Every hustler gives up something
Just to trust that one day what he loves prevails
Fear is lack of preparation
And it's dangerous and its amateur
Mastering your passions
That's the opening of aperture
Let the light flood in like a sunny day
I found by living on the fringe
I fucked up less space
I've watched friends waste away
Falling victim to no discipline
This life like a child's eyes
Born out of innocence
Torn into existence
Then forged by our surroundings
We all grow our own shadows
Like the north side of the mountains
But I'm facing changes
And I've seen the world like it is
The bright colors mixed with light
And now I'm tripping on a late night
And every time I take flight
I think I'm closer to finding what love is
But truth is hard to get
Cause I've been wrestling with the devil
I've been hanging round an angel as well
But dreams ain't built on peaceful slumber
Every hustler gives up something
Just to trust that one day what he loves prevails
Just passing my time
Back of my mind must be a coke fiend
How he's racking up lines
I write from the heart
So writer's block is arteries clogged
That's why my arts a part of me
And I might die if I stop
Most of my boys back home rotating crops on mountain tops
Cash money but the trouble is it's never enough
Watch what you spend your time on
Cause that's the cost of your life
I'd rather go out broke and happy
Than get sold for a price
Cause I've been wrestling with the devil
I've been hanging round an angel as well
But dreams ain't built on peaceful slumber
Every hustler gives up something
Just to trust that one day what he loves prevails
Low elevation snow last night it was a cold one
The trees bent their knees
Surrendering to no sun
Frozen blooded like there's ice in my veins
I'd rather go die with these sinners
