Had To Be A Hustler

Growing up in my hood

It was really on like that

I had to put it down to had to do me a jab

To give me a sack

So I can come up

On the block serving rocks from sun down to sun up

I was, really puttin' it down like that

And dressed in all black straight down for the jab

I was a youngster, packing a 4-5

Better known they looney ass eastside (right)

I had my chore, so I played the part of a gangsta

Never ever coulda be a pranksta

Pushing ****** in their face

Puttin' punk *****es in their place

Now feel the base

Give you a taste of this gangsta ****

I got the cavi tracks and my rims are on hit

And like some **** it will brush ya

Cause hanging on my block, you had to be a hustler

You had to be a hustler

Cause if you was a buster

You know we wouldn't trust ya

You had to be a hustler

Cause if you was a buster

You know we wouldn't trust ya

Now the year is 1989

I'm in the cavi spot and I'm doing fine

I got ritches, I got *****es

I got a caddy green 4 with 16 switches

On some triple gold was

Every single day straight swerving

Zippin' on a cold one

On my way to the ****spot

I got my glock in the stashpot

Cause the cops are kinda hot

And now I got me a sack

And now I'm heading back to the street

Where the ****ing money at

It's the block where I slang

And all the G ****** hang

And the young ****** bang

Puttin' it down every single night

Getting there drunk showin' off try to fight

One and other but we still had love

And rest in peace to my ****** up above

Because uh

Chorus

It's a cold thang when you got no game

See every smoker on the block know my name

I was a youngster with boulders for your shoulders

And still slanging cavi and ?muchoda?

And I got some ****** down with me

See every single day we sell a pound you see

Or that bomb ass dote mack

So come to my block and get a fat sack

We got that **** that I **** you up

So don't take it to the head or you might get stuck

So grap a partner and spot the bomb

Cause it will have you like tweakie from dust to dawn

I tell the truth and I never lie

Cause I promise I smoke chronic till the day I die

And a new face on the block

We couldn't trust ya

Cause you might be a busta
