Hustler"s Ambition

Hustle's ambition, I'm on a mission

Gotta get that paper, ain't no intermission

In the streets I glisten, my grind's my religion

Hustle's ambition, I'm on a mission

In the city of the shadows where the cold wind blows

With the streetlight flickers, and nobody knows

Your name on your face, that's the cash that you stack

In the aisles, in the corners, where the hustles attack

I was born in the gutter where the rats are your kin

Where the sounds of the sirens are the song of the wind

I learned to count money before I could read

In the streets you gotta hustle if you wanna succeed

I ran with the wolves, I fled with the thugs

I dealt with the dealers, I moved with the drugs

Every night was a gamble, every day was a test

In the streets only the hungriest aren't the best

I saw bodies drop, I saw mothers cry

I saw the life leave my brother's eye

But I kept on pushing, I kept on grind

In the streets, there's no silver lining

Hustle's ambition, I'm on a mission

Gotta get that paper, ain't no intermission

In the streets I glisten, my grind's my religion

Hustle's ambition, I'm on a mission

I moved up in ranks, became the king of the block

With a pocket full of stones and a glock

That's cock I was the dealer, the stealer, the heartbreaker

The money maker, the life taker, the earth shaker

I was born in the gutter with no silver spoon

Hustle day and night, under the sun and moon

Dodging bullets chasing paper, that's my tune

In this concrete jungle, you're the hunter I'm the goon

I built my empire brick by brick, but the streets are cold

And the air is thick, trust is rare, the knives are slick

In this game of life, you gotta be quick

In the streets where the heart meets its defeat

Life's cruel games, but your trust is just as cheat

Love's fleet in the shadow, just a midnight snack

You gotta watch your back or you'll be under attack

My soul was a tole, my empire the gold
