Hustla

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Black Thought] Let me tell you what priceless is, some advice to give A sacrifice is what I made for the wife and kids They say life's a bitch, but it's one life to live I want my baby where that cake and the icing is Out of them crisis-es, off of them vices-es They see what we do and grow up in our likenesses Really I don't wanna see em having to fight for this Story of the family biz, I'ma rewrite the script Daughter of a hip-hopper, hustla like her grandpoppa Her destiny done been determined so you can't stop her From being independent, earning paper and proper More like a lawyer or a doctor, not a man-watcher That's where your man got ya, it's a big world out'chea I'm tryna make a black diamond or a pearl out'chea And hip the people to the way the world twirl out'chea And when I thank heaven for my little girl [Hook: STS] Please let her be a hustla, baby be a hustla Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla If not, then you're only a customer Please let him be a hustla, baby be a hustla Hope my baby boy grows up to be a hustla Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla If not, then you're only a customer [Verse 2: STS] Sugar Slim, I'm slicker than a squid, nigga no kids No baby mama, Sugar free from the drama Sugar be where he wanna, no sweat like a sauna No judge, Your Honor can't tell me to raise mine Figured that in due time, if and when I do find True love, Buddha, maybe you can blue-line Ooh, I'm caught up in the moment for the meantime G, I'm all about the green like tree pines See I'm tryna get the scratch like a feline Hopin' that my seed don't know the struggle like me, I'm Hustlin' to make a buck, make a buck and fuck it up Fuck it up and suck it up then go and make another buck Get the money, get the money, that's what I know I'm hopin' that my seeds know a little more than I know I know, I know, but baby this what I know If we ever settle down, well baby, this what I hope [Hook: STS] Please let her be a hustla, baby be a hustla Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla If not, then you're only a customer Please let him be a hustla, baby be a hustla Hope my baby boy grows up to be a hustla Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla If not, then you're only a customer
