Lyrics
Gotta Hustle - by Locache
~verse 1~
Relax yo backs, lemmie lace this track with the dopeness
so ya lifes off track, and ya feelin hopeless
i hope this, message gets to ya , b4 u put that blade to ya
wrist , on some suicide shit, hold up, flick the switch,
and see what the difference sum light makes
put ya dukes up and see what a difference a fight makes
cuz lifes a struggle, nuthin is given on a platter/
in life u gotta hustle, 4 everything that matter///
i'd rather give everything and get nowhere at all /
then give nuthin, cuz i'm too scared to fall//
and stay here in the same god -damn spot,
shit i want all those things i aint got//
so i refuse to just sit hea rust and rot//
nigga i wanna piss in more then just a pot//
~Hook~
ya need to hustle the world, to get them diamonds and pearls//
to put on ya mamas neck , and ya baby girls//
Ya need to hustle the streets, ta put them shoes on ya feet//
to walk up out the hood, and not in retreat//
ya gotta hustle ya boss so ya can raise the cost//
of ya work, so that u could get paid and floss//
whateva u do, be true, think it thru, bring out the hustla from deep within u/
cuz it aint gotta be slaying ho's or crack , a hustla is so much mo than that//
they willing to what they gotta do, to get what they want, real hard working niggas that neva eva front//
but at the same time they recognize they worth, we got some real fuckin hustlas all over the earth//
~verse 2~
i want some Bill gates money, some Oprah dough
tho it may sound funny, but they husltas bro//
it maybe a different game, but they still playaz/
even the president down to the mayaz/
them politican bastards be hustlin up ur votes/
then hustle up donations, so they could buy fur coats/
for them fine ass hoe's that be hustling them/
see the circle of hustle comes back again/
so it's time for ur ass to jump back in/
cuz it's get hustled or get up and do the hustlin//

~verse 3~
u work'n nine to five, a worker bee in the bee hive /
to get enough numbers on the check to stay alive//
cuz after taxes, food, a lil drank and the rent/
gave some dogh to that skank now it's spent//
u just been huslted in three different directions/
this knowledge i drop is for ur own protection//
first up ya boss husstles u, every chance he get/
u making him money, he just makin you sweat//
go ahead and read the fine print on ya contract
then look at the job ya doin and see wea the cons at//
next up the government, they love it when, ya money spent/
cause every chance they get they always collectin//
they snach more then they need and u don't even see/
they take it from ur pay and when u buying groceries//
yet what the fuck do u get in return/
kicked out the hospital with 3rd degree burns//
cuz u couldn't afford the insuranse fees/
to keep a workin man alive has lost it's Urgency??/
it's an emergency we need ur money mac/
so we can go kill terrorist kids in Iraq/
as well as a bunch of our own on foreign soil..
our governments hussling them for there sovereign oil//
lastly---- but certainly not least,
who's that ho u seeing 2 days a week/
"borrowing" ur cash, and acting like a supa freak/
think about just for a minute and a second,
how the hell she makes her cash what u recon
