The Hustle lyrics

Artist  : Common 
Song : The Hustle



 Send "The Hustle" Ringtone to your Cell 

 My eyes watch God from a place

Where times is hard, hard times we embrace

Everybody want a yard 'cause yard means space

Being broke is odd and leaves an odd taste

In the mouth of the Metropolitan



The hustle is hollarin'

Beautiful minds grind, grind for the dollarin'

Whether dice scholarin' or white collarin'

We all taught hustle to prophet like Solomon



The young play corners, Sean Jean 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 walkin' to liquor stores in moccasins

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 and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and get me that



Just move and shake and grind and hustle

It's on your mind so hustle

Gon', gon' get it and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and 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 workin' your
nerves



It's a ghetto truck for a ghetto boy

To get in them ghetto streets and get him a
ghetto toys

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 and 1's new sneaks



Just put it in your back and hustle

The paper's stacked so hustle

Gon', gon' get it and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and get me that



Just move and shake and grind and hustle

It's on your mind so hustle

Gon', gon' get it and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and get me that



Can't knock the hustle, the hustle

I'm in, I'm in too deep, deep to sleep, can't
knock the hustle

The hustle caught up in the hustle, I'm gettin'
high

Can't knock the hustle, the hustle

I'm in, I'm in too deep, deep to sleep, can't
knock the hustle

The hustle gotta hustle up I got to have it



Some rhyme, some throw shows, some sow clothes

Some hobo at the junction inbetween cars

Some enter in functions in between stars

Some teach, some preach sayin' they seen god



Some put they money up, against me odds

Flippin' real estate yo, stocks and bonds

Dreams of rollin' El Derado's bumpin' El
Debarge

Whatever the dreams, stay on ya deem the world is
ours, its the hustle



Just put it in your back and hustle

The paper's stacked so hustle

Gon', gon' get it and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and get me that



Just move and shake and grind and hustle

It's on your mind so hustle

Gon', gon' get it and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and get me that



Just put it in your back and hustle

The paper's stacked so hustle

Gon', gon' get it and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and get me that



Just move and shake and grind and hustle

It's on your mind so hustle

Gon', gon' get it and get me that

Gon', gon' get it and 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'
