Kendrick Lamar - Hustla's Story lyrics

[Intro: Cozz] Woo! Shoutout my hustlers, I mean Everybody hustlers You feel me Look, look [Verse 1: Cozz] I said, wake up, open up shop, get your hustle on Selling pills straight out her crib, and break into another home Tryna get in and out, get my double-double on This ain't my story that I'm singing my n***a, but this is another song This probably your uncle song Probably your big brother song Your father or your mother song I understand your circumstance so in your head there's nothing wrong How you could blame how you behave? If we paid and we ain't getting loans You don't know what's going on If you ain't live to see this sh** I can't describe Taking chances so they survive This all happens just to take a life In the end it was all for bread And use the heat just to make it rise Not sure how to raise a daughter But they know to raise the price, so what you goin' through Tell a n***a what you going through I could probably relate I could probably be late And still be on time for you I could probably spit mind for ya If you don't wanna tell your story It's the same as yours, I hustle in the morning [Chorus: Cozz] I said, wake up, open up shop, get your hustle on Selling pills straight out her crib, and break into another home I understand your circumstance, so in their heads, there's nothing wrong But they don't know what's going on They don't know what's going on [Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar] Wake up I know only, trapped in the belly of the beat and it's hungry If I can't lay up in the streets I feel lonely If I gotta bring out with the streets I feel lonely [Verse 2: Cozz] Yeah you got your car, yeah you got your gold Your money don't fold but your mama is at home Fam don't want your dirty money You look clean, but your mama sad Your girl felt neglected, now your daughter got another dad Local block hustler, my father was a customer Mom's used to watch him buy his weed as she cussed at him Only for the weed, he felt free from that subtle bust Moved back and it was primetime And now I'm on my prime time But hustler turned pimp, doe He was getting pimp dough Now only selling his dope But now he selling nympho's Not so cautious about how he sells Made his way to county jails Now he lonely in them cells How he feel It was probably hell He got out, but on that same sh** I guess when you lawyer to yourself then you can't switch But how can you blame kid Don't know what he goin' through Cause hustler is his bread and bu*ter He don't want any other fool [Chorus: Cozz] But I wake up, open up shop, get my hustle on Wake up early in the morn Make a couple records, getting reckless on these records Til' these f** n***as respect it Go and get it, make a difference Wake up with a new perspective motherf**er [Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar] Wake up I know only, trapped in the belly of the beat and it's hungry If I can't lay up in the streets I feel lonely If I gotta bring out with the streets I feel lonely [Refrain: Kendrick Lamar] Just a father, love my ma For life and crime, for life and times It's hard as time I fall a time, like all the time And then I dream for baller time And then the clock rewind, and I Wake up I know only I know only [Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar] Wake up I know only, trapped in the belly of the beat and it's hungry If I can't lay up in the streets I feel lonely If I gotta bring out with the streets I feel lonely [Refrain: Kendrick Lamar] Just a father, love my ma For life and crime, for life and times It's hard as time I fall a time, like all the time And then I dream for baller time And then the clock rewind, and I Wake up I know only I know only [Outro: Cozz & Kendrick Lamar] We ain't chose this type of living, it's what we gotta do Part of n***as hear us cripping and drop out of school Selling d** or they pimping like prostitutes Living in a nightmare, [?] is what you gotta do Wake up [Outro Skit: Cozz] Hello?
