1 - New Orleans-based rapper Juvenile was born Terius Gray. After beginning his performing career while in his teens, he released a 1995 album on Warlock titled Being Myself. He eventually crossed paths with Cash Money label owners Ronald "Suga Slim" and Brian "Baby" Williams, who issued 1996's Solja Rags; the album became a major underground hit, and set the stage for the release of 1998's 400 Degreez. In 1999, with Juvenile's popularity growing, Solja Rags was reissued nationally, and Warlock jumped on the bandwagon with a remixed version of Being Myself. The year ended with the release of a new studio effort, Tha G-Code, followed by Project English two years later in 2001. In 2002 he left Cash Money and formed his own collective, the UTP Playas (Uptown Project Playas), with whom he recorded a posse album, The Compilation. The album went nowhere and a year later he was back on Cash Money and releasing Juve the Great which featured the chart-topping hit "Slow Motion". The 2005 single from the UTP Playas "Noila Clap" was another big track and Juvenile was ready once again to shopping for a new label. As he was signing a new contract with Asylum his Slidell, Louisiana home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The hurricane and its grim aftermath were hot topics on his 2006 album Reality Check.

That's right, it's crunch time now fellas
No time to be cryin for momma now, it's the movement
C'mon
To all my people on them corners I consider as dogs
I wish I could break a package down and send it to y'all
I know ya feelin me behind them penitentiary walls
Talk to 'em - your mayor ain't your friend, he's the enemy
Just to get your vote, a saint is what he pretend to be
Fuck him! Ah-listen to me, I got the remedy
Save your money up and find out who got 'em for 10 a ki'
Bubble, if you don't hustle don't use your energy
Cause you gon' be a cellmate or wind up as a memory
Yeah, and I could give a fuck if you kin to me
My life is up and down and side to side like a centipede
[Chorus]
Get ya hustle on, nigga get ya hustle on [4X]
We take the Pyrex and then we rock with it, roll with it
Take the Pyrex and then we rock with it, roll with it!
We take the Pyrex and then we rock with it, roll with it
Take the Pyrex and then we rock with it, roll with it!
[Juvenile]
The loamin hard sparkle like glass
Main bitch right behind me lookin sharp in the Jag
Security say you don't know me so I talk to 'em bad
If a nigga want somethin I got somethin for his ass
Choppers - I'm already knowin that it's a G thang
Ever since they tried to drown a nigga on the eastbank
Everybody need a check from FEMA
So he can go and sco' him some co-ca-llina
Get money! And I ain't gotta ball in the Beemer
Man I'm tryin to live, I lost it all in Katrina (damn)
And nobody cares what the police thank
Everybody fuckin with ki's cause it's a street thang
[Chorus]
[Juvenile]
Wodie! You really feelin your folks
Just them crackers behind them desk-es that ain't hearin us though
We starvin! We livin like Haiti without no government
Niggaz killin niggaz and them bitches is lovin it
Fuck Fox News! I don't listen to y'all ass
Couldn't get a nigga off the roof with a star pass
Talkin - y'all comfortable right now to your own land
'Til a nigga catch ya down bad, starvin and want cash
Get your mind right, nigga get your money up
You're movin a little somethin, but you ain't done enough
Fo' shizzle - you know the boss gonna want a cut
Yeahhhhhh - or the boss gon' haveta fuck you up
[Chorus - repeat 2X]
In the song "Hustle" by Juvenile, he speaks directly to those on the corners, he refers to as "dogs". He expresses the desire to break down a package and send it to those behind bars, making it known that he sees them and is with them. He also warns about the false promises and facades of politicians seeking the vote of the African American community. The mayor is not a friend, but an enemy acting as a saint for their vote. He advises to save money and find the person who can provide "10 a ki," referring to a kilogram of drugs, insinuating that you should be your boss rather than working for someone else.
Juvenile talks about the struggle and violence in his hometown of New Orleans, stating that they are living like Haiti without a government, and people are killing each other while others are enjoying their suffering. He speaks out against Fox News, saying that he doesn't listen to them and that they couldn't even get someone off a roof with a star pass. In the end, the song advises people to get their mind and money right, or they will face the consequences.

That's right, it's crunch time now fellas
It's the time to focus and work hard

We need to be strong and independent to succeed
To all my people on them corners I consider as dogs
To all the people struggling on the streets

I'll come and visit you if you put me on the list
Talk to 'em - your mayor ain't your friend, he's the enemy
Politicians don't really care about us

They pretend to be our saviors just to get our vote

Don't trust them, I know what to do
Save your money up and find out who got 'em for 10 a ki'
Save money and find the best deals

The loamin hard sparkle like glass
The drugs look good
Main bitch right behind me lookin sharp in the Jag
My girlfriend is beautiful and she's with me
Security say you don't know me so I talk to 'em bad
I talk tough to security who don't know me
If a nigga want somethin I got somethin for his ass
If someone wants to mess with me, I'm ready
Choppers - I'm already knowin that it's a G thang
I'm aware that guns are important to gangsters
Ever since they tried to drown a nigga on the eastbank
I've had trouble ever since the eastbank disaster
Everybody need a check from FEMA
Everyone wants money from FEMA
So he can go and sco' him some co-ca-llina
So he can buy some cocaine
Get money! And I ain't gotta ball in the Beemer
Get rich! I don't have to be flashy
Man I'm tryin to live, I lost it all in Katrina (damn)
I'm just trying to survive, I lost everything in Katrina
And nobody cares what the police thank
The police's opinion doesn't matter
Everybody fuckin with ki's cause it's a street thang
Everyone is selling drugs because it's the norm
Wodie! You really feelin your folks
You really love your friends
Just them crackers behind them desk-es that ain't hearin us though
The people in power don't care about us
We starvin! We livin like Haiti without no government
We are struggling and living in poverty
Niggaz killin niggaz and them bitches is lovin it
People are killing each other and some enjoy it
Fuck Fox News! I don't listen to y'all ass
I don't trust the media
Couldn't get a nigga off the roof with a star pass
Even with a celebrity's help, some people can't be saved
Talkin - y'all comfortable right now to your own land
You are comfortable on your own territory
'Til a nigga catch ya down bad, starvin and want cash
Until someone robs you when you are in a tough situation
Get your mind right, nigga get your money up
Be smart and work hard to get rich
You're movin a little somethin, but you ain't done enough
You're making some money, but it's not enough
Fo' shizzle - you know the boss gonna want a cut
The boss will want a share
Yeahhhhhh - or the boss gon' haveta fuck you up
Or the boss will punish you

As someone who lives in the Greater New Orleans Metro Area, itβs hard to describe what music like this meant to us as we felt abandoned and forgotten.
Juvenile is one of us and what he said was real. Kanyeβs comments just showed us a peek of the stupidity to come from him.
@Tru948
This a classic this when you realize you a grown man and nobody go give you nothing my heart still goes out to anybody impacted by Katrina
