Story Behind The Song

Kenny Rogers's The Gambler...Go figure

Song Description

This song describes what you should do after you have made the money. Instead of spending it on material items, I suggest that a real hustla' will attempt to leave his mark on the world bu adding something positive to the world. I.e. buy a home before you buy diamonds etc.

Lyrics

Verse 1
when the deal is done you mines well seal it son
im 10-9 im the realest one
with the expression on your face i know you feel this son
use my mouth for the weapon i'll conceal this gun
im a hustla no sense trying to steal my ones
you'll be damaged in a way they can not heal you from
you can't change the cards that GOD's trying to deal you son
the blueprint for my hustle don't reveal there's one
the word hustler been abused more than drugs itself
you soft boys and you need more like hugs for self
got a vision for my hustle can't talk it i gotta be it
im a genius i see money where other nigga's don't see it
trying to hustle like oil companies at war time
or should i be quiet for the feds give me more time
blow my brains like im Curt Kobain off one line
Life is all a gamble it's good and bad times

Hook
You ain't hustling son
Sit back and let me show you how this hustling done
You aint' busting guns
You in the store getting change you just bustin ones
Repeat


Verse 2
Fact of the matter that patterns of blood spatter
be the end result when there's confusion of money matter
i don't chit chatter, i hit chicks and skip scatter
make dough off my flow with ones or bitch matters
im bigger than that nickel sacks by alley curtains
Trying to go global steal stacks like Haliburton
You niggas go ahead and buy yo bling and beamers
Im international trying to buy a ring of teamsters
im a hustla most of you niggas is imposters
that little cheese you got i grind that shit up in my pasta
i might buy you house just to add it to my roster
i get my point across employ an army full of rasta's
no need to touch for you to feel this cut
you do deals for birds and my deals get buildings up
you need practice you need better skills to bluff
You still concerned about yo wheels and ya whips and stuff

Hook
repeat

Verse 3

See im a player that redefines the game he plays
Don't be a hater i was brought up in these gangsta's ways
the sun don't always shine on a gangsta's days
i got scars i aint acting these aint gangsta's plays
the president is on the ultimate gangsta's stage
convince the world that a war was just a gangsta's faze
can't wait to see the expression on a gangsta's face
call'em omar, just found out his gangsta's gay
that's an onomonopetia, like hustling on nokia
we couldn't save tookie so help wit freeing Mumia
My latin hustla's i say hola vaya con dios
making dough like whitefolks they even wanted to be us
would'nt let us in the game so we bought the team
i hustle in my sleep so i bought the dream
Coffee grinds bought me mine so i bought the cream
trying to hustle every dime so i bought the beam
