(feat. Last Emperor)



[Mr. Walt]

Yo, everybody lookin at me like I'm 'bout to drop

some real fucked up, dissin black people shit

Just gone give it here, check it out



[Man]

Man, it's some cooold-hearted shit you doin dawg

I geuss tha-that's the way it is

Yea, folks don't write about this shit

Why you got to focus on negativity?!

You forgot that didn't cha

Yea but I see it gooood now



[Last Emperor]

Yo I remember when the summer was hot, I'm huggin my block

The soldier, tryin to get over with this hustle I got

Lookin out for the cops, on my way to the top

Ain't no reason to even question if I'm rugged or not

I saw the neighborhood stars drivin our favorite cars

See they out gettin theirs, so now we tryin to get ours

Through a neighborhood tours, goin through neighborhood wars

Gettin bigger doors, mixin this neighborhood sport

We had a powerful team, doin powerful things

The A-merican dream, I'm about gettin cream

It ain't just for me, it's for my whole family

This is for all of y'all, I call it the Hustler's Theme, knah'mean?



[Chorus]

Someone, somewhere

Someway, somehow

Get mines, get yours

Get up, get down

Sometime, someday

Someplace, sometown

It's starts, with us

Right here, right now



[Last Emperor]

Amidst the dangerous days, and the dangerous nights

The lost wages and the salary heights

I stayed out of harms way, helped my family to fight

When I slipped into darkness, they brought me back to the light

Pray to the Lord above for added insight

A man confronted with THESE challenges in his life

To the ladies I might, be the compassionate type

Come see if it's real and feel what my action is like

Right, the man of your dreams, I'm handlin fiends

Fabolous things, more than mansions and rings

A palace built for a king, is how rich'll be

You tryin to win, get a peice of this victory

And don't ask about my past, that's history

Don't be afraid of the hustle girl, just get with me

You gotta love supreme, but as good as it seems

I'm in love with the cream, this is the Hustler's Theme, knah'mean?



[Chorus]



[Last Emperor]

Can you stay alive in this strugglin thing?

Stay alive in this hustlin thing?

The hustle's only as good, as what the customers bring

Some are no longer with us, others locked up in the bing

See I found a knew trade that I hustle with

It's called hip-hop and I got a love for it

Far from easy believe me y'all, I must admit

Cuz y'all customers'll never get enough of this

And now you can depend on your local suppliers

The Last Emp again, down with Da Beatminerz

Rockin wit'chu, we ain't forget 'chu, as we continue

Catch us at the venue, the Hustler's Theme



[Chorus]
