[Intro]
Momma countin' on me, I got my sister countin' on me, I got my son and my daughter countin' on me. I got a world that gets up every morning that watches me (That watches me..)
[Verse 1]
Look, I hustle (I hustle), hustle
'Cause I need food on my plate, and my momma need a high (Need a high, need a high)
And that high's gon' need a lake, it ain't up for debate (No)
If you real, you relate (Yep), I'ma sprint, you could pace (Pace)
I'ma shine in your face (Face) with the flows I create (Ya)
Leave your soul, levitate (Ya), hardly ever hesitate
Go broke takin' breaks, hold up, wait, get it straight (Get it straight)
No limit to the hustle like the baddest mamma mia (Mamma mia, Uh)
Spit crack, movin' packs now with this trap sound
But the flow is diarrhea (Diarrhea)
Flow one in a million, got me feelin' like Aaliyah (Aaliyah)
Rip tracks, lay the smack down on the track now
Like I'm rockin' my Avia (Smack it)
I ain't with the Brahman bull if you talkin' 'bout the beef
Momma didn't raise a fool, and I stayed up in the streets
Every time it gives me fuel remind me of Doctor King (Yah)
Way 2Pac before Obama, I swear that I need a queen
Most of my partners ridin' choppas, still rockin' the Byzantine
Movin' taco, Malcolm X, I make hustle by any means
They ain't been put up on game so they down to do anything
[Chorus]
Boy, this is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is is why I work
I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
This is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is why I work
Man, I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
This is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is is why I work
I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
This is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is why I work
Man, I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
[Post-Chorus]
Hustle, it's what we do (It's what we do)
So we grind like a power tool
Tryna make some power moves
Hustle, it's what we do (It's what we do)
Oh, the grind may devour you
But it's what we're accustomed to
We hustle
[Verse 2]
Look, hustle harder, go farther than father could've ever gone (Gone, gone)
Hustle smarter, don't become a martyr when money is shown (Shown, shown)
I had his head like a barber or an archer with a pocket full of stones (Pocket full of stones)
David was a sheep guarder, his departure can't make a last dome (Dome, dome)
Boy, they may play your position and you 'bout to get provision
Give all my partners in prison the vision usin' my diction
I swear that they all conditioned, forgive 'em for their convictions
I know they just wanna glisten, addicted to indecision
Off the top I know I'm rippin', catastrophic exposition
Metamorphic intuition, my words make you pay attention
Tell Momma the house is comin', she might just have it by Christmas
Boy, this is why I hustle
[Chorus]
This is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is is why I work
I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
This is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is why I work
Man, I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
This is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is is why I work
I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
This is why I hustle, this is why I grind, this is why I work
Man, I ain't hustlin' for nothin'
[Post-Chorus]
Hustle, it's what we do (It's what we do)
So we grind like a power tool
Tryna make some power moves
Hustle, it's what we do (It's what we do)
Oh, the grind may devour you
But it's what we're accustomed to
We hustle
