Hustle
Mr. La Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had to struggle and hustle but nothing was ever gave to me
Others can say they have something but trust me it ain’t the same to me
Put in the time, got on my grind then it came to be
Had a design, then it aligned like it was made to be
I had to struggle and hustle but nothing was ever gave to me
Others can say they have something but trust me it ain’t the same to me
Put in the time, got on my grind then it came to be
Had a design, then it aligned like it was made to be
It’s the hard hitting young spitta’ that you heard through the grapevine
Know I’m on the rise but it take time
I’m a beast on the mic like a canine, if it ain't bout’ money I don’t waste time
Plenty hoes want to facetime
But I’m still a young playa, cut her off when I slay her make her break down
young nigga from the gun town
And I never will forget it cause my ten toes stay down
Making moves I’m steady turning up
Paid my dues and made some other bucks
They ain’t face the same stakes as us
There ain’t no other way to go but up
Laws tried to get me had to shake them fools
A trill nigga bounce back making major moves
I’m going hard like a nigga got a case to prove
And the haters gone hate cause they hate to lose
So if ya talking down, shut up shut up
On ya grind, what up what up
Balling out, turn up turn up
Young nigga bout’ to cut up cut up
Coming up, they see me coming up
If you get it out the mud then I know you know what’s up
I had to struggle and hustle but nothing was ever gave to me
Others can say they have something but trust me it ain’t the same to me
Put in the time, got on my grind then it came to be
Had a design, then it aligned like it was made to be
I had to struggle and hustle but nothing was ever gave to me
Others can say they have something but trust me it ain’t the same to me
Put in the time, got on my grind then it came to be
Had a design, then it aligned like it was made to be
Funny how my bus stop was right on the same block
Where they used to sell drugs out
Now I’m headed to the top with the literary rock
Way too solid can’t cut that
Invested like a stock, but they love it when I drop
Got em' feenin’ they love that
Niggas chasing that wap while I’m running down the guap
Boy I already fucked that
Hit that shit once don’t cuff that
Sending out shots, we bust back
Been through the struggle work that shit out like a muscle
On my hustle like a double, boy trust that
A boss will guarantee we gone eat,
Step back shoot prepare and repeat,
Go against us declare your defeat,
I’m the big bad wolf I’m scaring these sheep
Always been the type to go and get it if I want it
I was taught to pull the trigger if you man enough to point it
Haters stitch your game up, spitting bandage and some ointment
Got this money stretching long like my pockets double jointed
It’s perfect timing I’m dining daily at benihana’s
Get behind us and ride the wave, if you can even find it
Being modest don’t try to fade me, see I’m just being honest
We designed it and now we made it, royalty at it’s finest
I had to struggle and hustle but nothing was ever gave to me
Others can say they have something but trust me it ain’t the same to me
Put in the time, got on my grind then it came to be
Had a design, then it aligned like it was made to be
I had to struggle and hustle but nothing was ever gave to me
Others can say they have something but trust me it ain’t the same to me




Put in the time, got on my grind then it came to be
Had a design, then it aligned like it was made to be
