Hustle & Flow Lyrics

Hustle & Flow
[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'll 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 he though he passin? for white
Took years of my life, now I'm missin? the man
Mom?s on some other shit, and now I'm missin? the plan
So I'm stuck in this fuck-the-world mode
All the lessons, to a young teen nigga was cold
Then my pimpin? ass uncle, put me up on the game
It really ain't no love, it's ?bout this paper, man
Put me in a position, got me out on a mission
Collectin? from the hoes, turned me on about 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

Keep hustlin? (It ain't over for me. No, it ain't over for me)
1.Keep flowin? (I'm gonna step my game up. And get what? coming to me)
2. Keep flowin?, keep on flowin? (I'm gonna step my game up. And get what? coming to me)

Now I'm just gettin? by, and it's fuckin with me
See others doin? big things, they was nothin? to me
I'm seeing 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 pumpin? 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 niggas, spittin? game to my hos
This is opportunity, I feel like anything goes
I was never supposed to see, the new millennium, man
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 lame to the game
But the closest ones to me, know I'm holdin? it down
You gonna feel me one day, we gonna be hurtin? the town
