[Chorus]
We been tryna get it out the mud
Hustling, ain't tryna sell no drugs, ay
Don't hit me and act like I'm the plug
I'ma find a way to stack it up, yo
We been getting paid on the side (on the side)
Said I'd take a break' but I lied (but I lied)
They been tryna hate, but I'm fine (but I'm fine)
You can catch a fade from my guys (from my guys)
[Verse 1]
It's the same
All I heard was doubts about me since 2008
Never had no handouts, only thing I had was faith
I can't sweat no deal, they pass on me, we make 'em pay
If they wasn't with it they gon' wish they didn't wait, uh
Business all day, uh
Independent they can't say I didn't find a way
I been feeding fam I gots to keep my bros straight
Got 'em shook like oh, wait
All that work ain't go to waste
And I feel like nowadays
Rappers sell they soul as soon as they get in the game
Make a little bread and then forget just why they came
But me, I been willing to wait (yeah)
Always been going for broke
I gotta get it ingrained
[Chorus]
We been tryna get it out the mud
Hustling, ain't tryna sell no drugs, ay
Don't hit me and act like I'm the plug
I'ma find a way to stack it up, yo
We been getting paid on the side (on the side)
Said I'd take a break' but I lied (but I lied)
They been tryna hate, but I'm fine (but I'm fine)
You can catch a fade from my guys (from my guys)
[Verse 2]
Aye, I know my worth, ain't no choice, I had to work
Got no help, I had to learn, blood and sweat all on my shirt
Yeah, I was hurt, but I knew it could be worse
So I got up out that mud, I can't resort to doin' dirt
I been in hustle mode, this shit ain't comfortable, but I still love it though (hey)
Getting ahead and they running slow, I'm going up the road (yeah)
Car full, if my brothers with me then we winning all gold
I been up three days straight, I cannot wait, I'm on a roll
Getting old, I got no time to slack
Wait at somebody's pace, I ain't got no time for that
Had the stu' with me, I needed since I bought a Mac
So when I get on a track can't take no time to finish that
[Chorus]
We been tryna get it out the mud
Hustling, ain't tryna sell no drugs, ay
Don't hit me and act like I'm the plug
I'ma find a way to stack it up, yo
We been getting paid on the side (on the side)
Said I'd take a break' but I lied (but I lied)
They been tryna hate, but I'm fine (but I'm fine)
You can catch a fade from my guys (from my guys)
