The Hustle Standard
Battle tested
I'm taking this opportunity
To clear this mess out of my head
To clear this blood out of my lungs
I need to dig holes
Look at yourself in the mirror
And tell me what a man is without pride
Tell me what a man is without fire in his eyes
Tell me who the fuck you are, you are
You are!
Fuck the bottom, I belong at the top, top
Fuck the bottom (I got, I gotta get up)
Fuck the bottom (I gotta get up)
Fuck the bottom (I gotta get up)
Fuck the bottom (I gotta get up)
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom (I gotta get up)
Fuck the bottom, I belong at the top (what)
I'm so fuckin' sick
Of everyones' lack of honor
I'm so sick of everyones' willingness to settle
Why is no one prepared to die, for anything?
I don't need a reason (one more time)
I don't need to think about it (one more time)
I'm gonna stand right the fuck here (one more time)
And take this to my fuckin' chest (one more time)
They try 'n hold me back
They try 'n hold me back
They try 'n hold me back
They try 'n hold me back
They try 'n hold me back
They try 'n hold me back
Try 'n hold me back
Try 'n hold me back (I gotta get up)
Try 'n hold me back (I gotta get up)
Try 'n hold me back (I gotta gotta get up)
Try 'n hold me back
Fuck the bottom, I belong at the top
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom, I belong at the top (what!)
I don't think you realize
I am going sky high
Nothing's going to keep my feet on the ground
I don't think you realize
I am going sky high
Nothing's going to keep my feet on the ground
Try 'n hold me
Try 'n hold me
Try 'n hold me
Try 'n hold me back (I gotta get up)
Try 'n hold me back (I gotta get up)
Try 'n hold me back (I gotta gotta get up)
Try 'n hold me back
Fuck the bottom, I belong at the top
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom, I belong at the top
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom
Fuck the bottom, I belong at the top top
