Lyrics
1st Verse:
I'm Standing on the corner
Of 12thStreet and Vine
I just picked a fella's pocket
As I flashed him a friendly smile
I'm a hustla
Hustle's what I do
My name is Mister Nice Guy
That's what they all say
'Til they check out the wallet
And the cash is gone away
I'm a hustla
And hustle's what I do
No, it ain't personal
I make a living outta killing you
Chorus:
You see I'm a hustla
(hustla)
I'm a hustla, baby
I'm a hustla
I'm a hustla
2nd Verse:
I get friendly with the ol' folks
'Til I'm cashing their checks
Everyday another sucker
Your mama might be next
I'm a hustla
And hustle's what I do
I'm a stone cold hustla
And now I'm coming after you
Chorus:
You see I'm a hustla
(hustla)
I'm a hustla
I'm a hustla
Im a hustla
I'm a hustla
And I'm coming after you
