How do I begin to do this shit right?
Now I'm a man of many talents and a man of my word
And get my hustle on
Man, we are all still children at heart
Me and my mom lived in one room, what's badder than that?
That's why my head is in the clouds trying to pass the sky
Just admit it when I'm wrong, and tryin' hard to make it right
I got spoiled when I was young, spoil myself today
And get my hustle on
And take the necessary steps to try to change my life
Then I'm forced to pay the price as a result of my actions
How do I begin to do this shit right?
And get my hustle on
But I feed at least a thousand stomachs and how I've done it is
'Cause all I ever really needed was a pen in my hand
Now I'm an only child, so excuse some of my selfish ways
Try and love and love again until they seal your tomb
And the hood rolls on
A self made millionaire, baby look at me now
It seems like the whole world is out for sinking my boat
It's gonna get in you, child of the night
Was a young man forced to grow up at the age of twelve
There's plenty of people getting stitches in this world of scars
And just 'cause something looks good, don't really mean that it is
It's gonna get in you, child of the night
And get my hustle on
And baby, nobody's perfect in this world of ours
But over time I pray to God that he can heal your wounds
Just be happy with yourself and it's so simple to grow
Tell me about heavy money, I might give it a push
I'm never blinking for a minute, keep my eyes on my foes
From the ground up a hundred miles and running, dodging and ducking
It's gonna get in you, child of the night
But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Living life on the cutting edge, taking a stab at it
And the pad in my lap didn't matter in fact
And I admit to being caught by many foolish distractions
Look here
How do I begin to do this shit right?
It's gonna get in you, child of the night
But on my path to see the light sometimes my vision gets blurred
Don't let these devils play you down, or belittle your souls
And the hood rolls on
Gotta keep my nose up out of things that ain't none of my biz
How do I begin to do this shit right?
Curiosity killed the cat, why am I curious George?
How do I begin to do this shit right?
They wanna catch me in the open, bring my life to a close
Can't tell me I'm not as hungry as the day I began
And get my hustle on
Continued doing wrong till I was on the right track
And the hood rolls on
I've got some questions for you Lord, 'cause my mentality's hood
But yet I give it right back, so how you like that?
We all make mistakes, it's all good
And the hood rolls on
And learning from my mistakes, try not to make them twice
And get my hustle on
How do I begin to do this shit right?
Get through the agony and anger, the pain and strife
It's gonna get in you, child of the night
I'm battling with myself, and every day is a war
No matter how much older we get
And trying to iron out my wrinkles, putting family first
Life is short if you don't notice it'll pass you by
It's gonna get in you, child of the night
So why's that everything that's bad for me feels so good?
Now, I've tried plenty of times to get rid of my bad habits
How do I begin to do this shit right?
And the hood rolls on
Everybody trying to hammer me down
Meanwhile that's why I'm bringing so much life to my shows
But with God as my navigator I'll be staying afloat
It's all a part of growing up and seeing life at its worst
Trying to get in where I fit, streets giving me hell
And get my hustle on
Come on
And the hood rolls on
I've seen smiles, I'm making changes, turning glitter to gold
