The Hustle Lyrics


My eyes watch God from a place
Where times is hard, hard times we embrace
Everybody want a yard 'cause yard means space
Being broke is odd and leaves an odd taste
In the mouth of the Metropolitan
The hustle is hollarin'
Beautiful minds grind, grind for the dollarin'
Whether dice scholarin' or white collarin'
We all taught hustle to prophet like Solomon
The young play corners, Sean Jean modelin'
They get it from they momma, black music is fatherin'
Blue and whites flash lights like parliment
In court non-whites, wishin' they had Cocharan
Tell your guy and them, yo the blocks hot again
Aunties walkin' to liquor stores in moccasins
My guy got a gig, on the side he barberin'
Married a foreign chick so she could get a green card up in the hustle
Just put it in your back and hustle

The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
First to the third, I'm close to the curb
Toast to the bird, now I'm posted to serve
Heard is a verb when you pour dirt on the floor
Bill collecters and the roaches workin' your nerves
It's a ghetto truck for a ghetto boy
To get in them ghetto streets and get him a ghetto toys
He can come so just work murder rate is increasin'
I don't give a fuck long as my coke is decent
And my rims blind the whole damn precinct
Everytime you see a head in my lap you know she sinked
I know I'm dead in this trap, that's not how we think
Fifty shells all around on the ground, can't catch a weak blink
Five went through me, two stayed in me to do my duty
Only thing that subdued me
Two weeks, same corner, new freaks
New geese, all white and 1's new sneaks
Just put it in your back and hustle
The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Can't knock the hustle, the hustle
I'm in, I'm in too deep, deep to sleep, can't knock the hustle
The hustle caught up in the hustle, I'm gettin' high
Can't knock the hustle, the hustle
I'm in, I'm in too deep, deep to sleep, can't knock the hustle
The hustle gotta hustle up I got to have it
Some rhyme, some throw shows, some sow clothes
Some hobo at the junction inbetween cars
Some enter in functions in between stars
Some teach, some preach sayin' they seen god
Some put they money up, against me odds
Flippin' real estate yo, stocks and bonds
Dreams of rollin' El Derado's bumpin' El Debarge
Whatever the dreams, stay on ya deem the world is ours, its the hustle
Just put it in your back and hustle
The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Just put it in your back and hustle
The paper's stacked so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Just move and shake and grind and hustle
It's on your mind so hustle
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gon', gon' get it and get me that
Gotta hustle up, stay hustlin'
Gotta hustle up, stay hustlin'
Gotta hustle up, stay hustlin'
Gotta hus, hustle up
Stay hustlin', hustlin', hustlin'

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy award winning rapper, author and actor known for lyrics that focus on love and spirituality. Signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, many people describe him as being a conscious hip hop artist who makes songs that send a message. He debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 90s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the soulquarians.

As well as music, Common has worked as an actor, on the films 'Smokin' Aces' (as Sir Ivy) 'American Gangster' (as Turner Lucas) and 'Wanted'. He may also be seen in cameo roles in films such as 'Brown Sugar'.

His debut was the 1992 album Can I Borrow A Dollar, but he achieved little critical or commercial success until 1994's Resurrection, an instant classic. He produced several more albums, notably Like Water For Chocolate and the highly experimental Electric Circus, before releasing the Kanye West and J Dilla-produced Be in 2005, which was his first album to receive widespread mainstream appeal and radio playtime.

Common is considered a "cred" artist, which has lead him to collaborations with the likes of De La Soul, Jadakiss, T.i, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Kanye West, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu, and Fort Minor.

2007's Finding Forever was produced mainly by long-time collaborator, Kanye West.

Universal Mind Control is the 8th album from Chicago hip-hop artist Common.
