[Intro]
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Uh, uh
Oh, that's that street anthem shit right there
I hear them horns, Toxic, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Oh, you wanna be a hustler, huh?
Thinkin' you can get it like this and like that?
Think you can get it off this rap shit?
Let me tell you a lil' somethin', youngin', listen up
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
[Verse 1]
You saw big lord and big folks do it
So now you feel like you can get close to it (That's right)
You can flip coke to it
Got me feelin', "How'd you get so stupid?"
Told you over and over, just don't do it
But you still didn't listen, you coppin' cars, cuttin' up in the kitchen (That's right)
Told you these motherfuckers is snitchin' (Woo!)
And the customers listenin', then goin' crazy over what you was givin' (Woo!)
And thеm shawties, they'll bust ya for livin' (Get that)
Ain't no trustin' thе system, keep on believin' you got handles on the O's
Lil' homie, they got cameras on the poles (Uh-huh)
Them niggas on the other block is comin', carry a thumper
But you better hope the police don't find it when they tell the others
Better get the door and ask 'em "Where the safe at?"
With your family tied up, are you gon' be able to take that? (Bow, bow)
Possibilities of hustlin' in the game
If you think you can handle it, be easy, I'm here for anything
[Chorus]
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Flip birds, flip pounds, flip O's
Pimp niggas, pimp cars, pimp hoes
Got cases, got losses, got draws
You gotta get your money, mane
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Flip pints, flip pills, flip brown
Make a mil', catch a case, skip town
'Til they kick in your door and say "Get down!"
You gotta get your money, mane
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
[Verse 2]
Like, think you can rap and you think you can do this?
Because you, oh so sick and your flow so foolish
And your boy got that money to put off up in your career
And when you spin off in your street, the whole neighborhood cheer
Now comes director deal, up the other side of the fence
Now you part of the struggle, realizing this side is intense
Are you ready to put it down for a label that'll barely back you up (Ready)
Are you ready to get it to you, with the homie that backed you up
Are you ready for promotions? Negotiations with lauders
Gettin' fucked for publishin', niggas in the streets comin' for ya
Drama with baby mamas, they wanna take what you got
The same niggas that cheered, pryin' on you when you roll up the block
But shit, that lil' money gon' be done
(And your money from shows?) That lil' money gon' be gone
(And if you're on that single, lay coal) You gon' be out on your own
When you re-up, popular pole, niggas
Spit a flow, nigga or sell a O, nigga
[Chorus]
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Flip birds, flip pounds, flip O's
Pimp niggas, pimp cars, pimp hoes
Got cases, got losses, got draws
You gotta get your money, mane
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Flip pints, flip pills, flip brown
Make a mil', catch a case, skip town
'Til they kick in your door and say "Get down!"
You gotta get your money, mane
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
[Verse 3]
[Chorus]
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Flip birds, flip pounds, flip O's
Pimp niggas, pimp cars, pimp hoes
Got cases, got losses, got draws
You gotta get your money, mane
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
Flip pints, flip pills, flip brown
Make a mil', catch a case, skip town
'Til they kick in your door and say "Get down!"
You gotta get your money, mane
(So you wanna be a hustler?)
