What's up? You say you wanna✦ be down?
Ease back, or young brother✦ get beat down
Out my face, fool I'm the illest✦
Bulletproof, I die harder✦ than Bruce Willis✦
Got my crew in effect, I bought em new Jags
So much cash, gotta✦ keep it in Hefty✦ bags
All I think about✦ is keys and Gs
Imagine✦ that, me workin✦ at Mickey✦ D's (ha ha ha ha)
That's a joke cause I'm never✦ gonna✦ be broke
When I die there'll✦ be bullets and gunsmoke
Ya don't like my lifestyle? {bleep} you!
I'm rollin✦ with the New Jack crew
And I'm a hustler✦
H-U-S-T-L-E-R✦ hustler✦
New Jack, New Jack..........
Here I come, so you better✦ break North
As I stride, my gold chains glide back and forth
I care nothing✦ bout you, and that's evident
All I love's✦ my dope and dead presidents
Sound crazy?✦ Well it isn't
The ends justifies the means, that's the system
I learned✦ that in school then I dropped out
Hit the streets, checked a grip, and now I got clout
I had nothing,✦ and I wanted✦ it
You had everything, and you flaunted it
Turned✦ the needy✦ into✦ the greedy✦
With cocaine,✦ my success came speedy✦
Got me twisted, jammed✦ into✦ a paradox
Every✦ dollar I get, another✦ brother✦ drops
Maybe that's the plan, and I don't understand
But since I don't know, and I ain't never✦ learned✦
I gotta✦ get paid, I got money✦ to earn
With my posse, out on the ave
Bump my sounds, crack a forty✦ and laugh
Cool out and watch my new Benz gleam
Is this a nightmare? Or the American dream?
So think twice if you're coming down my block
You wanna✦ journey through hell? Well shit gets hot
Pregnant teens, children's screams
Life is weighed on the scales✦ of a triple beam
You don't come here much, and ya better✦ not
Wrong move (bang), ambulance cot
I gotta✦ get more money✦ than you got
So what, if some other✦ brother✦ gets shot?
That's how the game is played
Another✦ brother✦ slayed, the wound is deep
BUT they're givin✦ us a Band Aid
My education's low but I got long dough
Raised✦ like a pit bull, my heart pumps nitro✦
Sleep on silk, lie like a politician✦
My Uzi's✦ my best friend, cold as a mortician✦
Lock me up, it's genocidal catastrophe
There'll✦ be another✦ one after✦ me!
A hustler✦
Hustler✦
H-U-S-T-L-E-R✦ hustler✦
New Jack, New Jack......
