Intro:
Yo, it’s the street life, baby,
Lessons from the gutter, let’s get it started.
Verse 1:
In the City of Angels, where the shadows creep,
I’m the gangsta professor, keepin’ secrets deep.
Walkin' down the boulevard, know I’m the king,
Teaching wanna-be hustlers what the street life can bring.
From block to block, I lecture with flair,
Showin' 'em the ropes, but this ain’t no charity affair.
Money rules the game, I ain't gon' deny,
Every dime I'm stackin', always reachin' for the sky.
Hook:
Hustle hard, hustle mean, keep your dreams alive,
In this game of greed, only the strong survive.
Life's a classroom, so come take your seat,
But watch your back, ‘cause you know it ain't sweet.
Verse 2:
Rollin' with my crew, got the streets on lock,
But every class I teach, another soul I shock,
They learn my tactics, but I charge ‘em a fee,
Ain't no free rides in this hustler's spree.
I spit wisdom like fire, but it's costly to claim,
Don’t get it twisted, I’m still playin’ the game.
I wanna see 'em rise, but more than me, they chase,
In the end, it’s all about my pocket space.
Hook:
Hustle hard, hustle mean, keep your dreams alive,
In this game of greed, only the strong survive.
Life's a classroom, so come take your seat,
But watch your back, ‘cause you know it ain't sweet.
Verse 3:
Got a heart of stone, with a flair for the hustle,
But deep down inside, it's a dangerous tussle.
Teachin’ every lesson, but I'm just a fiend,
Too caught up in the chase, know what I mean?
I'm droppin' gems while I line my pockets,
But in the back of my mind, my soul just blocks it.
Greed is a beast, can’t let it take hold,
Guess in this life, it’s the Devil’s gold.
Hook:
Hustle hard, hustle mean, keep your dreams alive,
In this game of greed, only the strong survive.
Life's a classroom, so come take your seat,
But watch your back, ‘cause you know it ain't sweet.
Outro:
So if you wanna learn, just know the strife,
Hustle for the bread, but watch your life.
In LA’s jungle, keep your goals in sight,
With a heart full of hustle, we’ll ignite the night.
