Hustler`s Withdrawal Lyrics

Hustler`s Withdrawal lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yo, he went from a street kid doin regular street things

Straight to a street king

Takin over the city, block by block

Breakin down bricks, servin em rock by rock

He's everything a young gun wanna grow up to be

But if only these young guns could see

That murder, money and lust, is slowly murderin us

Cause the drug game aint what it used to be

So look deeper when they paint you a picture

And try to sell you a dream, cause alot of these drug lords

Turn to the feds, and turn into fiends

The crack game aint everything its cracked up to be

Now the cat that was a neighborhood celebrity

Is coppin rocks, off the new kids on the block

At the same time, tryna school em

But these hoodlums got heads as hard as the rocks that hes doin

Hustlins like a drug, its got withdrawal symptoms

And if you know this, you wont stkip pain

But you will gain wisdom, and wisdom gains power

Dont let your life go sour over power



[Chorus 2x]

Hustlins like a drug, its addicting

The more you huste, the more you get addicted

The longer you hustle, the deeper the addiction 

(Its a hustlers withdrawal)

If you used to push weight, you'd relate



[Verse 2]

Not only did my father used to deal the dough

He used to do the dope, used to deal

I'm just keepin it real

Now my father doesnt have shit,

I dont have shit, we dont have shit

Cause he didnt stack SHIT!

With all the money he made

He didnt think for one second to put money away

Thats cause his mind was clattered with white thoughts

He's lucky that he didnt end up outlined in white chalk

The only thing I can say I've gained from my father is

Knowledge of the street game, and I hope that yall follow this

I cant say I havent sold weed or cocaine

But I can say this, money that comes quick, leaves quick

And yall better believe this

Cause this I've lived, and witnessed

Catch a couple of charges, now your on the laws shit list

Now your forced to do business

Until this business does you of course

Cause you can die from doin dope or dealin dope

You choose the road that you get to follow

And you choose the people that you look up to as role models



[Chorus 2x]



[Verse 3]

I know about hustlers

But I wont mention no names

Cause they still got cases pending

And some are even appealing life in the cage

At least they made it past the first phase: they reached a certain age

Hustlins like ADs, at first your infected with HIV

And then its full blown, only different is

Instead of havin no immune system

You become immune to the system, of havin dough, by a dealin blow

Its a fast life, and even if you survive your mind'll die slow

Dirty money attracts dirty things

And if you plain to deal the dope, I hope your ready for the murder game

Cause thats what it brings

I'm not a preacher, I'm not tryna preach, no

I'm not a teacher, I'm not tryna teach, but

Yet like a faucet, I'm tryin to leak

Info to these youngns and their kinfolk

And let em know theres more to life than a key to coke

If you use to push weight, then you can relate, cause you've probably had a
taste of

Hustlers Withdrawal



[Chorus 2x]
