can't knock the hustle
jay-z
i'm making short term goals
just put away the leathers and put ice on the gold
chilly with enough bail money to free a big willy
i got more at stake than philly
deuce fever i guess its fully loaded
bouncing in the lex luger
50 g's to the crap shooter
through my peripheral i see ya scheming
i'm leaning on any nigga intervening with the sound of my money machine-in
my cuff running over with hundreds
i'm one of the best niggas that done it
y'all niggas don't want it
to give you a piece of my mind
but though you think you are
baby one day you'll be a star
last seen out of state where i drop my slang
i'm deep in the south kicking up top game
bouncing on the highway switching 4 lanes
screaming through the sun roof money ain't a thang
your worst fear confirmed
me and my fam roll tight like the firm
we get together like a choir
to acquire what we desire
'til legs spread like germs
but y'all don't know. yeah
cause you can't knock the hustle
cause that's the way ya making me feel
i'm just trying to get mine
to knock the hustle for real
my function is lo make much 'n' lay back munching
something to watch nothing to stop
let you niggas know the time like movado
stack rocks like colorado
it's a damn shame what you're not though me slick like a gato fuckin' jay-z
pops knew exactly what he did when he made me
tried to get a nut and he got a nut and what
play fake a rappers like a campus le tigre
you ain't having it? good
lets get together and make this whole world believers
all these blacks got is sports and entertainment
can't knock the way a nigga eating
to give you a piece of my mind
but though you think you are
baby one day you'll be a star
cause that's the way ya making me feel
i'm just trying to get mine
to knock the hustle for real
