Yet again I´m hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can´t seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
I took the man and his horse
And ran before he looked up
I said the light´s gonna change
But I´m calm and feeling warm
And now I´m sticking out my hands
And feeling weightless again
You got to push, got to shove
I´ve got to eat before they eat me
Got the crown and the cup
I´ve got to write to my family
And say, "I´m calm and feeling warm."
I´m not quite there, but I´m close
And it´s a world of a difference
Yet again I´m hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can´t seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
I´ve got the worst all behind me
Yeah they´ll never be able to find me
I´m the king of the city
I´m a roach and they´re all primates
This is meal time
Real life
I´m not gonna fight
No, I´m gonna start a war
I´ve been right
I´ve been wrong
My smokes have come and gone
I´ve been crazy
Been fed enough to not wind up dead
And I´m lonely
My eyes have been closed to the world
´Cause the world´s got nothing for me
Yet again I´m hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can´t seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
Yet again, I´m hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can´t seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
Yet again, I´m hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can´t seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
I took the man and his horse
And ran before he looked up
I said the light´s gonna change
But I´m calm and feeling warm
And now I´m sticking out my hands
And feeling weightless again
You got to push, got to shove
I´ve got to eat before they eat me
Got the crown and the cup
I´ve got to write to my family
And say, "I´m calm and feeling warm."
I´m not quite there, but I´m close
And it´s a world of a difference
Yet again I´m hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can´t seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
I´ve got the worst all behind me
Yeah they´ll never be able to find me
I´m the king of the city
I´m a roach and they´re all primates

But I can´t seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time
Yet again, I´m hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
