(feat. STS) [Black Thought] Let me tell you what priceless is, some advice to give A sacrifice is what I made for the wife and kids They say life's a bitch, but it's one life to live I want my baby where that cake and the icing is Out of them crisis-es, off of them vices-es They see what we do and grow up in all likenesses Really I don't wanna see 'em having to fight for this Story of the family biz, I'ma rewrite the script Daughter of a Hip-Hopper, hustla like her grandpapa Her destiny done been determined so you can't stop her from being independent, earning paper and proper More like a lawyer or a doctor, not a man watcher That's where your man got ya, it's a big world out yeah I'm tryna make a black diamond or a pearl out yeah and hit the people to the way the world twirl out yeah And when I thank heaven for my little girl [Chorus: STS] Please let her be a hustla, baby be a hustla Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla Let her be a hustla, baby be a hustla If not, then you're only a customer Please let him be a hustla, baby be a hustla Hope my baby boy grows up to be a hustla Let him be a hustla, baby be a hustla If not, then you're only a customer [STS] Sugar Slim, I'm slicker than a squid, nigga no kids No baby momma, Sugar freed from the drama Sugar be where he wanna, no sweat/suite like a sonnet No judge, your honor can't tell me how to raise mine Figure that in due time, if and when I do find true love, {?} maybe you can blue-line Ooh I'm, caught up in the moment for the meantime G I'm, all about the green like tree pines See I'm, tryna get the scratch like a feline Hoping that my seed don't know the struggle like me, I'm hustling to make a buck, make a buck and fuck it up Fuck it up and suck it up, then go and make another buck Get the money, get the money, that's what I know I'm hoping that my seeds know a little more than I know I know, I know, but baby this what I know If we ever settle down, well baby this what I hope [Chorus: STS]
