Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

N***, ask about me, n*** ask about me
N***, ask about me, n*** ask about me

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
This for all my n*** that's goin' through the struggle
That's on the grind, all my n*** that ever had to hustle
To get at a dollar, this for y'all, man
Personality change, man, the Kid, Cassidy, this for the hood

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I got the product, narcotics for the customers, homey
Fiends open, they be smokin' like a muffler, homey
N*** phoney, so I only got a couple of homies

If you a hustler, I could, I could f*** wit you, homey
You spend a couple of bucks, I'll stay in touch with you, homey
I get money, I get 20 a K
I got 20 strips, all doin' 20 a day, ay

I get cake from buds an' haze, I'm makin' dubs
They hatin' 'cause I'm on the grind like I'm makin' love
Wit cops, got the block hot like a Jamaican clubs
Cop, wait, wait for a drought an' then I make a flood

Try to take my cake, you gon' take a slug
But you can take my information, if you takin' drugs
'Cause I could sell Raid to a bug
I'm a hustla, I can sell salt to a slug, 'cause

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey

I'm married to the game, same bride just a new groom
I do more then just do tunes
'Cause my bills come in too soon, my son gon' be two soon
Royalty checks come like once in a blue moon

But I'm gettin' my dough from doin' shows
I made more dough on the grind than goin' gold
That's why I stay fly an' I'm flagin' on hoes
Floss is so cool, in Austin, no shoes

Just a rubber band on my wrist, no jewels
I ain't got to prove I'm rich, I'm no fool
I know the rules an' I ain't got time for it
But a n*** will shine when it's time for it

An' they will hate you, deal with the real cake
An' they on the corner from mornin' to real late
I deal weight an' if you bastards doubt me
I'm a hustla, ask about, ask about me

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey

Yeah, paid, you got saved, don't be spendin' the change
In fifth grade, I was hustlin' my Genesis games
I was dumb young, sellin' chewin' gum to my classmates
On the cash chase, movin' at a fast pace

Never been a dummy, never did what the dummies do
So I had a mill' to burn before I turned 22
'More Money, More Problems' is true
Because the more money I make, the more problems for you

Yeah, I used dude voice, props to the boy Shawn
He made it a hot line, I made a hot song
So, stop drawin', man, you got to respect it
I'm the best Swizz, got it perfected

Don't mess wit see A double S I D why
'Cause I became the best when be I G died
The Kid do it big like P you N
'Cause I'm nice P A see with the P E N an'

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me

I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me
N*** ask a, n***, n*** ask about me




I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
I'm a hustla, I'm a, I'm a hustla, homey
