Hustle Don't Give (feat. Black Thought)歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Erik Stephens/Marche' Black/Tariq Trotter
[00:02.06]My man told me, Lord
[00:04.97]I can tell he didn't want to hurt me
[00:07.87]But then he turned and looked and said
[00:10.86]"Hey, I can no longer pretend to be satisfied with your lovin'"
[00:16.57]Wow
[00:21.84]This for my hustlers
[00:25.51]Yeah
[00:28.42]Uh
[00:33.10]Hey
[00:37.52]Uh, look
[00:40.30]Raisin' Hell, but the shit that I'm rhymin' was Heaven-sent
[00:43.76]Went broke and bounced back, I been grindin' out ever since
[00:46.71]Wise and intelligent, I could rob a village while it sleep
[00:50.26]Even if I was blind with a elephant
[00:52.80]Crime was like medicine, I watched niggas face a dub with a racist judge
[00:56.47]They still gave 'em time with no evidence
[00:59.01]Gotta admit that lifestyle is what fed the kids
[01:01.76]Sorry for them missed calls and kites that I never sent
[01:04.74]Too much on my plate, you might choke if you try it
[01:07.27]Bit off more than I can chew, so now my goal is to diet
[01:10.16]Result of my aggression, I had to grow up in violence
[01:13.37]Money talks, could turn your life into a moment of silence
[01:16.33]I controlled and decided, keep your focus on grindin'
[01:19.38]A long road to redemption that I drove with no license
[01:22.23]It's a jungle that's controlled by the sirens
[01:24.51]But the hunter gon' be the hero until the story's told by the lion
[01:28.33]To influence dozens, grew from strugglin', all we knew was hustlin'
[01:31.34]Fiends missin' teeth, always lookin' like they chewin' somethin'
[01:34.36]I been stressed out lately, I got a bad temp' with people
[01:37.41]And a bad mood just turn into a happy trigger finger
[01:40.48]Every inch to the stage, I put my pen to this page
[01:43.56]I took risks to get paid, my name shifted this game
[01:46.29]"Be the head and not the tail," Mama stitched in my brain
[01:49.46]But do it twice as better 'cause you got the skin of a slave
[01:52.87]Down to my last, it's hard to smile, even laugh
[01:55.46]But it's, it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
[01:58.76]'Cause we came up from the struggle, baby, all we know is hustle
[02:01.26]That's why it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
[02:04.51]I spent years in this dream, sweat and tears in this dream
[02:07.38]But it's, it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
[02:10.58]So I gotta try climbin' 'cause I'd rather die tryin'
[02:13.48]'Cause it's, it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
[02:17.58]Yo, a grain of sand of the king's hand
[02:19.91]Could grow into a castle if it spread like a wingspan
[02:22.56]A life begins with sin, transcends, but like a lens
[02:25.80]We numb the pain with violins or Vicodins
[02:28.74]Faded like pro cats and pigeons on the power line
[02:31.52]Another nigga out his mind, runnin' out of time
[02:35.00]Whether fruits wither on the vine or the dotted line
[02:38.13]The bough breaks, it's no mistakes, it's by design
[02:41.70]Even the kids ain't nothin' to play with
[02:43.90]They don't stand for shit, not even the court bailiff
[02:46.30]But shed a thug tear over spilled blood on the pavement
[02:49.57]If you ain't talkin' hustle, you speakin' the wrong language
[02:52.75]That's on everything, I choose to move hurriedly
[02:55.57]I feel like it's too much I could lose before they bury me
[02:59.30]And even after that, I'ma prove through the legacy I lead
[03:02.30]That the grind is in my pedigree
[03:04.80]Down to my last, it's hard to smile, even laugh
[03:07.67]But it's, it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
[03:10.51]'Cause we came up from the struggle, baby, all we know is hustle
[03:13.40]That's why it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
[03:16.47]I spent years in this dream, sweat and tears in this dream
[03:19.33]But it's, it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
[03:22.15]So I gotta try climbin' 'cause I'd rather die tryin'
[03:24.91]'Cause it's, it's hard to give up (Hard to give up)
