Verse 1:
Deep in the cut
With the chrome on the thrown
Down in Decatur
Where the haters get shown
Ride around the spots
Where the pot gets grown
Now Im feelin blowed
Smoke by the zone
Misfit dudes by the rules reapply
Creeps low wit cruise control when Im high
Brand new 22 shoes on the ride
Gotta get blatta tatted
Hit up green rise
Hook:
So Im ridin down this long country road
Followin rainbows
Tryna reach us in gold
I gotta grind hard
Til this shit gets sold
Just sit back relax
N watch it unfold
So Im gone hit up the studio
Write about 24
Til these hits get throwed
Cash checks
Get a boat
Betta keep it afloat
Don't end up bankrupt and broke
Chorus:
Ima hustler baby

The song "Hustler" by Magic speaks to the quest for success and the sacrifices one has to make in order to achieve their goals. The lyrics describe the hustle and grind of life from the perspective of a street savvy artist. The song starts off with the opening lines "Yo yo yo/ (hustler baby)/ Oh/ No/ (hustler baby)/ Oh/ No/ (hustler baby)" which serves as an introduction to the artist's worldview. The first verse describes the artist's life in Decatur, where he must constantly navigate through the dangers of the streets while also staying focused on his career. The lyrics paint a picture of a life where the artist is always on the move, constantly riding around the spots where the pot gets grown while also staying vigilant and avoiding the haters.
The next verse describes the artist's trip down to Martin Luther King Boulevard, where he is met with the same challenges he experienced in Decatur. He is always on his toes, making sure that he doesn't get caught up in any dangerous situations. The lyrics stress the importance of teamwork and the power of money. Cash is king, and the artist and his crew will stop at nothing to stack their cheese. The song's chorus reiterates this theme, emphasizing the artist's unrelenting drive to get the abs and the cash necessary to make it in the music industry. Lastly, Chinks' rap verse adds a layer of danger and risk-taking into the mix, emphasizing the need to stay sharp and watchful in the face of danger.
