Hustler's Dream

[Intro: The Game] Dre and Vidal Niggas play everything live, nigga Like Kool & the Gang back in the day Nigga play it live, nigga Fuck you niggas know about making beats? You don't know shit Pussies (Ha ha) Fuck you ever seen a nigga in his 20's with a guitar, bitch? [Verse 1: The Game] Mother's only son, so I Had to knock a nigga the fuck out on the block if he Made my sisters cry I was O-Dog in Larenz Tate's dreams Red everything niggas know what I mean Red rag top and I made the dash pop Before niggas came with stash spots, man I was a dope man, dope man I tried to tell em' I could never be a felon I was too good at sellin' crack, X, speed and heroin Fiends call me Monroe, cause I used to kill em' down in Marilyn Puttin' niggas underground give me a shovel He still alive fuck him, I was on that level Back then I ain't believe in God If they heal like they say on TV, why bullets leave a scar? Revenge is a feelin, but on my son's life When I catch the two niggas that shot me I'mma, kill em' [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton] Desperate moments I've been waiting all my life (All my life) No mistakes I promise this will be my time (My time) I know hustlin' leads us to an early grave But it's the only way, how come niggas dying every day? [Verse 2: The Game] I watched the coke price double up I was too young to be a cook, so I had to sit back and watch it bubble up Sittin' in the window seein' gang bangers knuckle up Watchin' the wind blow girls' skirts while they double dutch I had straight D's I wasn't in much trouble much Either you do my homework for me or I'mma fuck you up Moms lied for me told her friends I was a nice student Would a' had all A's if algebra was Ice Cube There it is, I studied a veteran Hoping that one day I could be a fucking hip hop legend I listened to Nas, Big, Dre, Snoop And even though Pac hated him, I bumped Jay too Bought Reasonable Doubt and let it play straight through Used to throw my head back, like Kanye do Niggas never thought that I would break through Irv Gotti, and P Diddy passed but Jimmy and Dre knew [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton] Desperate moments I've been waiting all my life No mistakes I promise this will be my time I know hustlin' leads us to an early grave But it's the only way, how come niggas dying every day? [Bridge: The Game & Anthony Hamilton] A.H take em' to church Our father who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy kingdom come thy founding father Protect the Game (Yes sir) Please show the way (Yes) Open up the gate (Yes) Free us from pain (Yes sir) But it's the only way, how come niggas dying every day? [Verse 3: The Game] I'm talking to my niggas, All Stars and Timberlands North face is a pin and it's a million thugs marching For the dearly departed I elevated my knowledge They say that I was name droppin', I was just paying homage For Lil' E and Tiana, I'm sayin' that dear mama help me read between the lines pass periods and Commas The million dollar baby young homie tryna' prosper Act like you don't see me, you might win a Oscar Act like you don't see me, I might just pop ya Niggas singing like Sinatra I box like Bernard Hopkins Left jab like Oscar, I'm the golden boy You niggas seen what happened to Roy Yeah, you niggas seen what happened to Roy On my block niggas box we the knockout boys Sitting in the throne with the doja sparkin', it's my seat and I ain't moving like Rosa Parks Ima be here [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton] Desperate moments I've been waiting all my life No mistakes I promise this will be my time I know hustlin' leads us to an early grave But it's the only way, how come niggas dying every day?
