How a Hustler Feels

[Intro]
Squire, I still feel you
Peace to my niggas, J, Smartie
How they gonna be part of the bigger picture if these breddas can't paint?
I ain't drawin' it for them, yo

[Verse 1]
Listen, when I close my eyes, I see haven
All the things I been cravin'
No quotes on a mic stands
Just boats and the white sands, I been slavin'
Nobody graft hard as me, I'm tryna see past today
Work now and play after, so I laugh in a larger way
I'm talkin' ballin' out, just me and my tugs, need wifey, call her out
Baller clout, commissioner money, that's what this all about
Money moves thought about, spoken on, you niggas takin' orders now?
I boss shit, floss shit, sit back and order rounds
I lace my nigga Beam up, live for the street elеvation
Lace my team up, power movеs take pre-meditation
2 double-0 8, young soprano, been years in the makin'
Bring my dogs to the round table, then place my stake in
Cah we're sittin' on things, everybody be sayin' the same shit
But bredrin, mines is for real, that's 'cause we milked the game quick
See the money's the route of all evil and also my success
I toast it up with my niggas, mummy don't like me stressed

[Chorus]
No place like home but Smiler needs to see the globe
It's big business now, maybe I'll leave the road
Cop a mansion, a plush ride, and chill with wifey
And this is all 'cause I can, you see the things that I see
No place like home but Smiler need to see the globe
It's big business now, maybe I'll leave the road
'Cause I ain't stuck here forever but will I hustle still? (No)
Sometimes I feel I'm alone, that's how a hustler feels

[Verse 2]
Really who's tryna stay here? Dreams of a billion piles of cake
Livin' in a wilder day, tryna fly like a million miles away
I say, a change of scenery, no hideaway
Seek my fortune, more room, find a iller life for J
Black Columbus, girl's who run the world, been tons of attractive places
Loads of girls, Spain to Ghana, now a nigga have to go back to basics
Like slightly before the name, when I knew there was more to came
I boarded trains for the years to come, now I ride to the hall of fame
Well, these guys don't wanna see me roll in somethin' pretty
That's just the way of the people in London City
But fuck 'em, I work too hard, flip more pies than a bake sale
Cake, scales, holidays, some breddas do birds a lot
Wanna come for me, then come for me, mad jelly 'cause they heard I'm hot
And I burn the block, pussy, grab ya gun, I been ready for the murder plots
Half road-man, half Tony, big business, ask Shekoni
Some brehs still bite lines, which means some brehs still rappin' owe me

[Chorus]
No place like home but Smiler needs to see the globe
It's big business now, maybe I'll leave the road
Cop a mansion, a plush ride, and chill with wifey
And this is all 'cause I can, you see the things that I see
No place like home but Smiler need to see the globe
It's big business now, maybe I'll leave the road
'Cause I ain't stuck here forever but will I hustle still?
Sometimes I feel I'm alone, that's how a hustler feels

[Verse 3]
The world is mine, all of it, just carry my ribbon
And picture me rollin', controllin'
Can you fathom my vision? It's open
My eyes, my doors, my life, my laws
Show them, it's open
The gates to the grounds, I'm fightin' my wars
Check it, rise from so poor, the cipher is this
Trifle no more, residin' in bliss
Just smell me, so flagrant, what now?
Grind for the paper, earn a fistful
Learn the biz, international, fly back travellin' Birm to Bristol
One life for livin' and such, twenty-one, no offspring
Got shit to live for, ain't no chick gonna keep me boxed in
I tell you Africa's bangin' and I was catchin' the sun rays
I work all year 'round, shit, I gotta be maxin' some days
Every dog has its day, me, I see horizons
My time's too precious to play, see, I'm enterprisin'
You see the things that I see, well, no place for flaws
I'm 'bout to capture the moment, it's best you take what's yours

[Chorus]
No place like home but Smiler needs to see the globe
It's big business now, maybe I'll leave the road
Cop a mansion, a plush ride, and chill with wifey
And this is all 'cause I can, you see the things that I see
No place like home but Smiler need to see the globe
It's big business now, maybe I'll leave the road
'Cause I ain't stuck here forever but will I hustle still?
Sometimes I feel I'm alone, that's how a hustler feels

[Outro]
They see the pace that we're settin'
And they're just bugged because they're still tryna get in
