Story behind the song
The song speaks for itself. I'm giving props to those who do what they have to do to make it. It's a way of life. "They dont understand why we hustle to get by."
Lyrics
Ooohh Ohhh
Keep On, Keep On Striving
(Verse 1)
Everybody wanna get that gold,
Drive phat cars
But it aint easy to become a baller yall
Cant make it on a low wage job ya know
You gotta do what you can do to get paid
Hustling, scraping, better make the cash flow, living on the go
Fighting daily, to make it to the top
You can’t afford to stop no
The world is so cold
You know we gotta fight to make it
Tired of being poor
The rich is getting richer, do you get my picture?
Living in this world is so dangerous
We’ll keep on rising till they can’t handle us
What we gotta do, is keep it real and make it right, cause they don’t understand why we
hustle to get by.
(Chorus)
1 for the hustlers
2 for my queens
3 for the strong
4 for my kings now
You know you gotta give them love
Doing what they gotta do to take care of home
1 for the hustlers
2 for my queens
3 for the strong
4 for my kings now
You know you gotta give them love
Doing what they gotta do to maintain
(Verse 2)
Struggle through the years alone
Daddy’s gone
Mama’s gotta work 2 jobs alone
She’s trying to find a better way to make a home
Doing what she can to get paid
He is fighting
Tired of being broke and hopping on the bus
The block is inviting
He wants to get ahead but don’t wanna be in jail naw
Everyone falls
Dust yourself off and keep on moving on
Tired of the hard luck
It’s a long way to the top, but you cannot stop no
Funny how so many live in poverty while
The rich got so much money just to throw away
It’s pain you feel,
When you struggle everyday, too many bills to pay, can’t hardly ahead.
Living in this world is so dangerous
We’ll keep on rising till they can’t handle us
What we gotta do, is keep it real and make it right, cause they don’t understand why we hustle to get by.
(Chorus)
To all my queens in the hood taking care of home
Working jobs round the clock just to pay the load
Raising kids on their own with their heads hung high
I know that you’re gonna get by
To all men round the clock doing what they know
Don’t forget about my hustlers trying to keep from broke
I know you can survive down any road
Making ends given nothing but the ghetto
(Repeat 2)
The World is so cold
Tired of being broke, living in the ghetto
Tired of being poor
Hustling for the buck, tired of my luck (oh)
(Chorus)
