Hustle
Yelawolf ft Paul Wall Lyrics

Rolling with the top down, on peanut butter guts
I am driving with the convertible roof down, showing off my fancy car with brown leather seats and chrome accents.

Trolling, I'm about to climb
I am looking for opportunities to improve my life and climb the social/economic ladder.

Load the gun, turn the base up, turn it up
I am preparing to defend myself with a gun and also enjoying the loud music.

Holding that Glock nine in case a hater run up
I have a Glock handgun with me in case someone tries to attack me because of my success.

Callin, I'm the shit now, so your bitch on my nuts
I am successful and popular with women wanting to be with me.

I got my car smoking, but it ain't the motor
My car is smoking from marijuana usage, not from engine problems.

It's just me and that dodo
I am smoking marijuana by myself.

These (?) strolling, I stop and poke 'em
People are walking around, and I sometimes stop and talk to them casually.

But I'm trying to get that dojo
I am working hard to achieve my goals and reach my full potential.

Ridin' dirty, ain't no hobo
I am driving around with illegal drugs and guns but am not homeless or a beggar.

It's just me strapped up like a GoPro
I have a gun with me like a camera attached to my person.

And I one deep; Han Solo
I am alone like the character Han Solo from Star Wars.

Hoes trying to capture me like a photo, hustle
Women are trying to approach me and take pictures with me because of my fame and success.

All I need is two cups of drank
I only need to drink two cups of alcohol to feel good.

With the system crank and a fifth of (?)
I need my car stereo system turned up and a large bottle of alcohol to have a good time.

See me pulling pranks in my candy paint
I enjoy doing playful tricks while showcasing the colorful paint job on my car.

Pull broads around me in crowds
I attract many women in public due to my fame and success.

Both tires when I hit the breaks
My car does a burnout when I stop suddenly.

My hustle skills you can't debate
No one can deny that I am successful because of my hard work and dedication.

Money don't wait, I'll be stacking up bank
I need to make as much money as possible and save it quickly.

Till I'm dead and up in them clouds
I will continue to work hard and make money even after I die.

Getting to the cake, man, fuck your faith
I am focused on making money and do not care about religious beliefs.

Riding outta state with a Texas plate
I am driving to another state with a license plate from Texas.

Speakers in the back be like an eighth
The sound system in my car is so good it feels like I have an eighth of weed in the trunk.

415 rock up (?) skate
I am successful and influential in the San Francisco Bay Area skateboarding scene.

Crawl like a snake, boys gonna hate
I am moving carefully and strategically to avoid competition and criticism.

But it's money to make, don't fall for the bait
There is money to be made, so do not get distracted by other things.

Save the bullshit, I ain't gotta cape
Stop lying and pretending to be someone you are not.

All I got till I'm in the grave
All I have is my work ethic and drive until I die.

Is a whole lot of hustle, hustle
All I have is my hard work and dedication to make money and succeed.

Pack it up and send it all away 9 to 5
I do not want to work a typical 9 to 5 job.

I could do it all day, boy you know I gotta (hustle)
I am willing to work hard for long hours to achieve my goals.

Broom and a mop, I clean 'em up from outer space
I am willing to work hard and clean anything to make money.

Gotta beam 'em up got an universal (hustle)
I am constantly hustling and finding opportunities no matter where I go.

Had a premonition of me in the front seat of 2013
I have a feeling that I will be successful and famous in the future.

Boy, we gotta (hustle)
We need to work hard to achieve our goals.

You wanna go follow your dream then (hustle)
If you want to achieve your dreams, you need to work hard and hustle.

Yeah, couldn't tell me not to believe
I am confident and believe in myself.

In the people that I was put in front of
I believe in the opportunities that are presented to me.

And told that I had an opportunity to become a part of a situation
I was presented with a chance to be a part of something big and successful.

That put me in a position to maybe
I was given a chance that could lead to success.

Some day break out of a small town
I want to leave my small and limited hometown to achieve success.

I guess I fell for the okey doke
I was tricked into believing in something that was not real or too good to be true.

I suppose I couldn't turn around in the hokey poke game
I was too invested in the situation and could not easily quit or leave.

To see lames and other folks
I did not realize or acknowledge the negative people or aspects of the situation I was in.

Who thought joke was being played on me
Others believed that I was being tricked or made a fool of in my situation.

Oh, where the story goes again
This cycle of believing in false opportunities and being let down repeats for me.

Here we go again, I'll again frown while the motherfuckers grin
I will be disappointed again while those who caused it will be smug and happy.

I can hear the sound of the gate closing in
I can sense that I am being trapped or becoming more stuck in my situation.

And I can feel the breeze of the hate blowing in
Others are becoming more critical and negative towards me.

'Cause they all wanna go sightseeing
Others are envious and curious about my situation and success.

Up in the Chevy and ride further in the wild
Others want to join me and become more involved in my situation and lifestyle.

And they kinda wanna drive, even make a turn off a road
Others are interested in taking control and influencing my life and decisions.

You ain't familiar with, enough to pay for the gas for a little bit then
Others are not knowledgeable enough about my situation but would pay to be involved for a short time.

Before you know it, you got a best friend
Others become overly friendly and attached to me for their own benefit.

But when he started off he was just hitchhiking
Others initially did not have anything to offer me and were just trying to attach themselves to my situation.

Should have heard when he said wolf for real
I should have been more cautious and aware of people pretending to be my friend.

If you're chill, you'll find another one just like him
I will find more of these fake friends if I am too easygoing and trust too easily.

But it's hard as a motherfucker to say no
It is very difficult to decline these fake opportunities and friends.

When you're a rookie talking to a veteran playing pro
I am inexperienced and naive compared to those who are taking advantage of me and my situation.

And everything that he's saying
Others are telling me things to convince me to stay in the situation.

He's saying to pay him close attention
They want me to listen closely to their advice and directions.

So you put your hand low
I am hesitant and unsure about the situation.

Palms, out, opened, hoping
I am extending my arms in a vulnerable way, hoping for the best.

And you can even see that engine smoking
The situation is not going well and is showing signs of failure or problems.

Plus all the money that he gave you owe him
They have given me money, but now I am indebted to them.

Rearview mirrors all of them broken
I cannot see my past and am becoming more stuck in my situation.

Black boys, white boys, just a token
I am being used and exploited for my race or status.

For the slot machine, and the gambling notion
I am a pawn in a game of chance and risk.

Scamming and scoping, the animal inside
Others are using their predatory instincts to deceive and exploit me and my situation.

The cannibal chose him, me
Others have picked me as the easiest target to exploit and use to their advantage.

I fell for another man's hustle
I have been deceived by someone else's scheme or plan to take advantage of me and my situation.
