Art of the Hustle

(Smoke on the beat)

Turn nothin' to somethin'

This the art of the hustle

Got love in the streets

Man, the streets don't love you

Turn nothin' to somethin'

This the art of the hustle

Got love in the streets

But the streets don't love you, yeah

Hey, nights like this I wish raindrops would fall

Heartbroken, takin' shots from my dog

We had long talks that we gon' get rich together

Now you gone and I'm here, so you gon' live forever

I saw your son on the gram and he looked just like you

And if he know like I know, he'll be just like you

You the first one told me, go and get that bag

Ain't no shit about to roll until you hit that slab

Now I'm up and down that bitch, tryna get that cash

I be doin' twenty plus if they hit that stash

Knock on wood, we set up shop in locked-up hoods

Man, the team ain't together, but it's still all love

I'm from where they set you up and get you killed by drugs

I'm still daily in the trenches, makin' plays with thugs

I still tore hand come outta out with the judge

'Cause if I don't go do it, it'll never get done

Turn nothin' to somethin'

This the art of the hustle

Got love in the streets

But the streets don't love you, hey

Turn nothin' to somethin'

This the art of the hustle

Got love in the streets

But the streets don't love you, yeah

Learned the art of the hustle, now I hustle with art

Like to pray in the light so I shine in the dark

Tryna pull up in a whip, park yourself on our park

Real **** can see fake-ass shit from afar

Used to sit in the spot, watch the cuz make sales

Till I got a sack, I'm throwin' rocks at the jail

See these bitches ain't loyal and these **** ain't real

You find out the hard way when you stuck in a cell

See when the bills get behind and your tank on E

Now you're run over with it, you ain't say your cheese

Now you back at square one, tryna play low-key

That's when you find out that shit don't really last in the streets

Took the case for the team stood tall on my feet

Got indicted by the feds, but I still gotta eat

See I'm built Ford tough, so I'ma win and defeat

Had a dream about my **** Rico, I wish he could see
