Hustle
Rocket Surgeons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hustle
Everybody show a little hustle, baby
Hustle
Everybody show a little hustle, hustle

Father, must I hustle? I'm weary every day
My soul is out of muscle, the piper must be paid
Well, I came in the game aiming at fam
But found nothing but famine and failure
Abandoned my fallen façades and the fraudulent gods that the industry sells ya

So hell yeah, I hustle, three of my fingers high
I'm scoping out the cornucopia looking for weapons 'lest you wanna try
I'm reppin my district, I'm reppin my crew made of marvelous misfits
I'll never be muzzled, I hustle the infinite puzzle that we must exist in

Hustle
Everybody show a little hustle, baby
Hustle
Everybody show a little hustle, hustle

Show a little hustle
Hustle, hustle

Show a little hustle
Hustle, hustle

We give em a hit of the rap rock when the track drops
Lyrics more killer then crack rock
We lay them all out on the blacktop
The mile high city the backdrop
We locking it down like like a padlock
It's funny, there's plenty you rapper but none of you hustle like us for the jackpot

So blast off
Load up the Rocket, it's Surgery time
I'm blowing the roof on arenas and scheming to shoot enemies from the sky
I'm knocking an arrow
I'm knocking a beat and I'm knocking you scarecrows
I'm not gonna lie got a lot on the line when you grinding to topple these pharaohs

Hustle
Everybody show a little hustle, baby
Hustle
Everybody show a little hustle, hustle

Show a little hustle
Hustle, hustle

Show a little hustle
Hustle, hustle

If you got nothing to show then
Show a little hustle
Lift you up with me let's
If you got nothing to show then
Show a little hustle
Lift you up with me let's hustle, hustle

If you got nothing to show then
Show a little hustle
Lift you up with me let's hustle, hustle
If you got nothing to show then
Show a little hustle
Lift you up with me let's hustle, hustle

I'm here in December 2023 hoping that Rocket Surgeons are still going cos I just discovered them and they are awesome

@TheSawAndTheCarnage

Music hasn't changed...

You just were lucky enough to get here before an incredible talent got mainstream.

Enjoy these brief moments.

@thischannelisdeadgoaway7133

Wow this is so incredibly underrated, thanks to Spotify for showing me this absolute gem

@spinostu

While I'm here, Colours (Restored) is a beautiful song, need you guys to get the recognition you deserve!

@westonjb

Dang, heard this for the first time today. SO SICK! surprised the hell out of me to find out it didn't have millions of views yet. Just a matter of time.

@anderstempel916

These guys actually have a message and meaning behind their songs

@ScowlingZebra29

What's the meaning behind this one?

@anderstempel916

@@ScowlingZebra29 Well, this one specifically is about trying to make it as an artist. You give everything you have to a crowd of anonymous critics. The chances of making it are slim and it requires being authentic and vulnerable. Don't give up, push past the negative criticism. I really really enjoy their Fragile - EP under the previous band name - Filthy T.
