Hustla(Explicit) - The Roots

Hustla (Explicit) - The Roots/STS
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 b**ch 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 all 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 grand papa
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 yeah
I'm tryna make a black diamond or a pearl out yeah
And hit the people to the way the world twirl out yeah
And when I thank heaven for my little girl
Please let her be a hustla baby be a hustla
Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla
Let her 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
Let him be a hustla baby be a hustla
If not then you're only a customer
Sugar slim I'm slicker than a squid ni**a no kids
No baby momma sugar freed from the drama
Sugar be where he wanna no sweat like a sauna
No judge your honor can't tell me how to raise mine
Figure that in due time if and when I do find
True love wooed up 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
Hoping that my seed don't know the struggle like me I'm
Hustling to make a buck make a buck and f**k it up
F**k 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 hoping 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
Please let her be a hustla baby be a hustla
Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla
Let her 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
Let him be a hustla baby be a hustla
If not then you're only a customer
