Hustla

[Verse 1: Black Thought]

Let me tell you what priceless is, some advice to give

A sacrifice is what I made for the wife and kids

They say life's a bitch, but it's one life to live

I want my baby where that cake and the icing is

Out of them crisis-es, off of them vices-es

They see what we do and grow up in our likenesses

Really I don't wanna see em having to fight for this

Story of the family biz, I'ma rewrite the script

Daughter of a hip-hopper, hustla like her grandpoppa

Her destiny done been determined so you can't stop her

From being independent, earning paper and proper

More like a lawyer or a doctor, not a man-watcher

That's where your man got ya, it's a big world out'chea

I'm tryna make a black diamond or a pearl out'chea

And hip the people to the way the world twirl out'chea

And when I thank heaven for my little girl

[Chorus: STS]

Please let her be a hustla, baby be a hustla

Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla

Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla

If not, then you're only a customer

Please let him be a hustla, baby be a hustla

Hope my baby boy grows up to be a hustla

Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla

If not, then you're only a customer

[Verse 2: STS]

Sugar Slim, I'm slicker than a squid, nigga no kids

No baby mama, Sugar free from the drama

Sugar be where he wanna, no sweat like a sauna

No judge, Your Honor can't tell me to raise mine

Figured that in due time, if and when I do find

True love, Buddha, maybe you can blue-line

Ooh, I'm caught up in the moment for the meantime

G, I'm all about the green like tree pines

See, I'm tryna get the scratch like a feline

Hopin' that my seed don't know the struggle like me, I'm

Hustlin' to make a buck, make a buck and fuck it up

Fuck it up and suck it up then go and make another buck

Get the money, get the money, that's what I know

I'm hopin' that my seeds know a little more than I know

I know, I know, but baby this what I know

If we ever settle down, well baby, this what I hope

[Chorus: STS]

Please let her be a hustla, baby be a hustla

Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla

Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla

If not, then you're only a customer

Please let him be a hustla, baby be a hustla

Hope my baby boy grows up to be a hustla

Better be a hustla, baby be a hustla

If not, then you're only a customer
