[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]
