Hasta luego
Hasta luego adios
My manager's slacking so I gotta move quick
I'm lacking in natural gifts
I'm an ugly motherfucker but I work hella harder
And you can write a blog about it
Can't knock the hustle
Can't knock the hustle
Leave a five star review and i'll leave you one too
Can't knock the hustle
Hasta luego
Hasta luego
Hasta luego adios
The future's so bright I gotta' poke my eyes out
Running up my credit cards
Sellin' lemonade by the side of the road
You see it all from where you are
Can't knock the hustle
Can't knock the hustle
Leave a five star review and I'll leave you one too
Can't knock the hustle
Hasta luego
Hasta luego
Hasta luego adios
Hasta luego
Hasta luego
Hasta luego adios (adios)
Don't step to me don't step to me don't step to me
Bitch
Now you can criticize me for anything
I ain't like them other boys
Higher education is the key to escape
But I never learned to roll a joint
Can't knock the hustle
Can't knock the hustle
Leave a five star review and I'll leave you one too
Can't knock the hustle
Hasta luego

In Weezer's song Can't Knock The Hustle, the chorus repeats the phrase "Can't knock the hustle," which refers to not being able to criticize or condemn someone's efforts to make a living. The lyrics express the idea that hard work and determination are more important than natural talent or appearance. The lead singer speaks about his manager's slacking and the need to work harder to make up for it. He acknowledges his lack of natural gifts and unattractive appearance, but insists that he works hard to overcome these challenges. He challenges his critics to write a blog about his work ethic and leave a review.
The second verse describes the struggles of starting a business and making a name for yourself. The singer talks about running up credit cards and selling lemonade on the side of the road to make ends meet. The line "The future's so bright I gotta poke my eyes out" is a sarcastic reference to the optimism and hard work required to succeed.
The third verse highlights the singer's individuality and nonconformity. He challenges his critics not to step to him and insists that he is different from other boys. The line "higher education is the key to escape, but I never learned to roll a joint" suggests that he may have taken a different path than society's expectations, but that doesn't mean he isn't successful or worthy of respect.
Overall, the song is about the importance of hard work, determination, and self-belief, despite external criticisms or challenges.

I'm in. I don't care what the critics say. Let's bring on the Black Album era! I can't leave ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on YouTube anymore, so here's your 👍

I realized that I’m the reason there are crop circles. But the real message here is that we’ll stretch our ability to forgive and let go of chains/leashes. We’re all challenged to do so. The more compassionate we are the less hate we should acknowledge. Maybe we should be real. If this twist of lemon reality is dubious then let’s bring order and cement a foundation with righteousness. Back someone who is kicked around and misunderstood. We have too much encouragement for chaos’s sake while simultaneously we are severely lacking mediators. Mormons need to be knocking on our doors every day. Yeah and why not everyone? We can use an extra pair of hands around the house. Who else better to recover the Xmas deco in the crawl space? Or carry those ten pound bags of fertilizer from the shed to the garden? 2SAM22. We need more heart!!!
