0:32Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
0:36Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
0:40Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
0:44But I can't seem to catch a dime
0:46Take a little hit and I lose the time
0:48I took the man and his horse
0:49And ran before he looked up
0:51I said the light's gonna change
0:53But I'm calm and feeling warm
0:55And now I'm sticking out my hands
0:59And feeling weightless again
1:03You got to push got to shove
1:05I've got to eat before they eat me
1:07Got the crown and the cup
1:09I've got to write to my family
1:11And say I'm calm and feeling warm
1:13I'm not quite there but I'm close
1:17And it's a world of a difference
1:20Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
1:24Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
1:28Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
1:32But I can't seem to catch a dime
1:34Take a little hit and I lose the time
1:36I've got the worst all behind me
1:37Yeah they'll never be able to find me
1:39I'm the king of the city
1:42I'm a roach and they're all primates
1:43This is meal time
1:46Real life
1:47I'm not gonna fight
1:50No I'm gonna start a war
1:52I've been right
1:53I've been wrong
1:54My smokes have come and gone
1:56I've been crazy
1:57Been fed enough to not wind up dead
2:00And I'm lonely
2:02My eyes have been closed to the world
2:05Cause the world's got nothing for me
2:08Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
2:12Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
2:16Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
2:20But I can't seem to catch a dime
2:22Take a little hit and I lose the time
2:24Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
2:28Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
2:32Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
2:36But I can't seem to catch a dime
2:38Take a little hit and I lose the time
3:12Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
3:16Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
3:20Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling But I can't seem to catch a dime Take a little hit and I lose the time I took the man and his horse And ran before he looked up I said the light's gonna change But I'm calm and feeling warm And now I'm sticking out my hands And feeling weightless again You got to push got to shove I've got to eat before they eat me Got the crown and the cup I've got to write to my family And say I'm calm and feeling warm I'm not quite there but I'm close And it's a world of a difference Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling But I can't seem to catch a dime Take a little hit and I lose the time I've got the worst all behind me Yeah they'll never be able to find me I'm the king of the city I'm a roach and they're all primates This is meal time Real life I'm not gonna fight No I'm gonna start a war I've been right I've been wrong My smokes have come and gone I've been crazy Been fed enough to not wind up dead And I'm lonely My eyes have been closed to the world Cause the world's got nothing for me Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling But I can't seem to catch a dime Take a little hit and I lose the time Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling But I can't seem to catch a dime Take a little hit and I lose the time Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
