Hustle and Flow (It Ain`t Over) — текст песни (Djay)

[singer hums and ad libs for 22 seconds]

[Djay]
Look this is my life, and it`s a battle within
I gotta survive, even if I`m sinnin to win
And if I show no remorse I reap the devil`s reward
He said he`d, give me riches but I`m lookin for more
When I was young, witnessed my dad, standin for right
Black pride in him even though he passin for white
Took years from my life, now I`m missin the man
Moms on some other shit and now I`m missin the plan
And so I`m... stuck in this fuck-a-marole
All the lessons to a young teen baby was cold
Then my pimpin-ass Uncle put me up on the game
It really ain`t no love it`s `bout this, paper mayne
Put me in a position, got me out on a mission
Collectin from the hoes turned on to my pimpin
A nigga from Memphis dealin with life as a struggle
This is the gift I was given so I just live by my hustle

[Chorus 2X: Djay] + (singer, ad libbing at times)
(Keep hustlin) It ain`t over for me, no it ain`t over for me
(Keep, flowin) I`ma step my game up and get what`s comin to me

[Djay]
Now I`m just gettin by, and it`s FUCKIN with me
See others doin big thangs they was nothin to me
I`m seein what I used to be, and it`s lookin legit
Got my hands on some music, started FUCKIN with it
Put it down hard, then I started bumpin to this
I let some others get a dose and they was NUTTIN to this
Let me check my connections cause we go back in the day
Say they was lookin for `dro, heard I was hustlin hay
Got me connin my niggaz, spittin game to my hoes
This my opportunity I feel like anything goes
I was never `sposed to see the new millenium mayne
And I refuse to let my dad die in vain
So I give it my all, you feel my struggle and pain
If you ain`t feelin what I`m spittin trick you late to the game
But the closest ones to me know I`m holdin it down
You gon` feel me one day, we gon` be heard in the town

[Chorus] - 2.5X, singer ad libs to fade
