Common, OmarLye-Fook, Dart Chillz - The Hustle lyrics

Na na na na na na na ohhhh

My eyes watch God from a place
Where times is hard
Hard times we embrace, everybody want a yard
Cause a yard means space
Being broke is odd and leaves an odd taste
In the mouth of the metropolitan
The hustle is hollerin'
Beautiful minds grind
Grind for the dollar and
Whether dice scholarin' or white collarin'
We all taught hustle to profit like Solomon
The young play corners, Sean John modelin'
They get it from they momma
Black music is fatherin'
Blue and whites flash lights like parliment
In court non-whites
Wishin' they had Cocharan
Tell your guy and them
Yo the blocks hot again
Aunties walking to liquor
Stores in moccasains
My guy got a gig, on the side he barberin'
Married a foreign chick so she could get
A green card up in the hustle

Just put it in your back and hustle
The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that

First to the third, I'm close to the curb
Toast to the bird, now I'm posted to serve
Heard is a verb when you
Pour dirt on the floor
Bill collecters and the roaches
Working your nerves
It's a ghetto truck for a ghetto boy
To get in them ghetto streets and
Get him a ghetto toy
So he can come, so just work
Murder rate is increasin'
I don't give a fuck long as my coke is decent
And my rims blind the whole damn precinct
Everytime you see a head in my lap
You know she sinked
I know I'm dead in this trap
That's not how we think
Fifty shells all around on the ground
Can't catch a weak blink
Five went through me, two stayed in me
To do my duty, only thing that subdued me
Two weeks, same corner, new freaks
New geese, all white, AND1 new sneaks

Just put it in your back and hustle
The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that

"Can't knock the hustle, the hustle"
"I'm in, I'm in, I'm in too deep
Deep to sleep!"
"Can't knock the hustle, the hustle"
"Caught up in the hustle"
"Can't knock the hustle, the hustle!"
"I'm in, I'm in, I'm in too deep
Deep to sleep!"
"Can't knock the hustle, the hustle"
"Gotta hustle up"

Some rhyme, some throw shows
Some sew clothes
Some hobo at the junction in between cars
Some enter the functions in between stars
Some teach, some preach saying they seen God
Some put they money up, against mean odds
Flippin' real estate yo, stocks and bonds
Dreams of rollin Eldorados bumpin' El DeBarge
Whatever the dreams
Stay on ya deem the world is ours
It's the hustle

Just put it in your back and hustle
The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Just put it in your back and hustle
The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it, get me that
Gon', gon' get it, get me that

"Gotta hustle up!" "Stay hustlin'!"
"Gotta hustle up!" "Stay hustlin'!"
"Gotta hustle up!" "Stay hustlin'!"
"Gotta hus-, hustle up!"
"Stay hustlin', hustlin', hustlin'!"
