| Look hereNow | |
| I'm a man of many talents and a man of my word | |
| But on my path to see the light sometimes my vision gets blurred | |
| It's all a part of growing up and seeing life at its worst | |
| And trying to iron out my wrinkles, putting family first | |
| It seems like the whole world is out for sinking my boat | |
| But with God as my navigator | |
| I'll be staying afloat | |
| And I admit to being caught by many foolish distractions | |
| Then I'm forced to pay the price as a result of my actions | |
| I'm battling with myself, and every day is a war | |
| Curiosity killed the cat, why am | |
| I curious | |
| George?Gotta keep my nose up out of things that ain't none of my biz | |
| And just 'cause something looks good, don't really mean that it is | |
| Get through the agony and anger, the pain and strife | |
| And take the necessary steps to try to change my life | |
| I've got some questions for you | |
| Lord, 'cause my mentality's hood | |
| So why's that everything that's bad for me feels so good? | |
| It's gonna get in you, child of the night | |
| And the hood rolls on | |

| And get my hustle on | |

| And get my hustle on | |
| Now I'm an only child, so excuse some of my selfish ways | |
| I got spoiled when | |
| I was young, spoil myself today | |
| But I feed at least a thousand stomachs and how | |
| I've done it is | |
| From the ground up a hundred miles and running, dodging and ducking | |
| Everybody trying to hammer me down | |
| A self made millionaire, baby look at me now | |
| Can't tell me | |
| I'm not as hungry as the day | |
| I began'Cause all | |
| I ever really needed was a pen in my hand | |
| And the pad in my lap didn't matter in fact | |
| Me and my mom lived in one room, what's badder than that? | |
| Was a young man forced to grow up at the age of twelve | |
| Trying to get in where | |
| I fit, streets giving me hell | |
| But yet I give it right back, so how you like that? | |
| Continued doing wrong till | |
| I was on the right track | |
| Tell me about heavy money, | |
| I might give it a push | |
| But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush | |
| It's gonna get in you, child of the night | |
| And the hood rolls on | |
| How do I begin to do this shit right? | |
| And get my hustle on | |
| It's gonna get in you, child of the night | |
| And the hood rolls on | |
| How do I begin to do this shit right? | |
| And get my hustle on | |
| No matter how much older we get | |
| Man, we are all still children at heart | |
| We all make mistakes, it's all good | |
| Now, I've tried plenty of times to get rid of my bad habits | |
| Living life on the cutting edge, taking a stab at it | |
| And learning from my mistakes, try not to make them twice | |
| Just admit it when | |
| I'm wrong, and tryin' hard to make it right | |
| And baby, nobody's perfect in this world of ours | |
| There's plenty of people getting stitches in this world of scars | |
| But over time | |
| I pray to | |
| God that he can heal your wounds | |
| Try and love and love again until they seal your tomb | |
| Life is short if you don't notice it'll pass you by | |
| That's why my head is in the clouds trying to pass the sky | |
| I'm never blinking for a minute, keep my eyes on my foes | |
| They wanna catch me in the open, bring my life to a close | |
| Meanwhile that's why | |
| I'm bringing so much life to my shows | |
| I've seen smiles, | |
| I'm making changes, turning glitter to gold | |
| Don't let these devils play you down, or belittle your souls | |
| Just be happy with yourself and it's so simple to grow | |
| Come onIt's gonna get in you, child of the night | |
| And the hood rolls on | |
| How do I begin to do this shit right? | |
| And get my hustle on... |
