I always wanted to be a healer and give out medicine I was too dumb to be a doctor so I do this They say your dream job won't pay your bills They said change your dream but I just changed my bills I'm hustlin', baby Some people braggin' about how rich they are Some people cryin' about how poor they are I do my best to hide from it all There's always a little bit of hummus and a couch to sleep on I've been sneakin' into clubs, singing my shit I don't know how I'm still alive but I ain't dead yet I'm hustlin', baby You and I both know that it's tough out here I get advice from musicians, I get advice from thieves Sometimes it's totally different, sometimes it's the same thing Steal a lot from one person and they call the cops Steal a little from everyone, you rise to the top I'm hustlin', baby And the government wants me to give 'em some cash Money I used to have but I no longer have Just cause I made it don't mean I saved it I ain't that smart, I ain't that complacent And you're the last people I wanna give it to I don't trust how you spend it, you don't spend it like I do I got a little bit of money for a little bit of thrills I'm paying my rent in dollar bills I'm hustlin', baby You and I both know that it's tough out here I don't know how I'm gonna find ya, babe it's hard for me You're always 2,000 miles from wherever I play And you want some kids, maybe I want em too Can we get ourselves a old one, maybe 22 Ain't got no college loans, ain't got no other debts too He could smoke with me, he could drink with you He could be my drummer, David Crosby does that He didn't raise his kids neither, honey, how 'bout that I'm hustlin', baby You and I both know that it's tough out here I always wanted to be a healer and give out medicine I was too dumb to be a doctor so I do this
