Title: Hustler’s Withdrawal
Artist: Pit Bull

He went from a street kid doing regular street things
Straight to a street king
Taken over the city block by block
Breaking down bricks serving them rock by rock
He’s everything a young gun want to grow up to be
But if only young guns could see
That murder money and lust is slowly murdering us
Cause the drug game ain’t what it used to be
So look deeper when they paint you a picture
And try to sell you a dream
Cause a lot of these drug lords turn to the feds and turn into fiends
The crack game ain’t everything it’s cracked up to be
Now that same cat that was the neighborhood celebrity
Is coppin rocks off the new kids on the block
At the same time trying to school them but these hoodlums
Got head as hard as the rocks that he’s doing
Hustling like a drug it’s got withdrawal symptoms
And if you know this you won’t skip pain
But you will gain wisdom and wisdom gains power
Don’t let your life go sour over power

CHORUS

Hustling like a drug It’s addictive
The more you hustle The more you get addicted
The longer you hustle the deeper the addiction
If you used to push weight you relate

It’s the Hustler’s Withdrawal

Hustling like a drug It’s addictive
The more you hustle the more you get addicted
The longer you hustle the deeper the addiction
If you used to push weight you relate

Not only did my father used to deal dope
He used to do the dope he used to deal
I’m just keepin it real Now my father doesn’t have
I don’t have He don’t have because he didn’t stack
With all the money he made he didn’t think
for one second to put money away
That’s cause his mind was clouded with white thoughts
He’s lucky that he didn’t end up outlined in white chalk
The only thing I can say I gained from my father is
knowledge of the street game and I hope that y’all follow this
I can’t say I haven’t sold weed or cocaine
But I can say this Money that comes quick leaves quick
Y’all better believe this Cause this I’ve lived and witnessed
Catch a couple of charges now you on the law list
Now you’re forced to do business until this business does you of course
Cause you can die from doing dope or dealing dope either or
you choose the road that you pick to follow
and you chose the people you look up to as role models

CHORUS

I know about hustlers but I won’t mention no names
Cause they still got cases pending
and some are even appealing life in a cage
At least they made it past the first phase
They past a certain age hustling like AIDS
At first your infected with HIV
And then it’s full blown only difference is
Instead of having no immune system
You become immune to the system
Having doe by dealing blow
It’s a fast life and even if you survive your mind will die slow
Dirty money attracts dirty things And if you plan to deal you dope
I hope your ready for the murder game Cause that’s what it brings
I’m not a preacher I’m not trying to preach NO
I’m not a teacher I’m not trying to teach
But yet like a faucet I’m trying to leak
Info to these youngins and their kin folk
And let them know there’s more to life then a key of coke
If you used to push weight then you relate
Cause you’ve already had a taste of hustlers withdrawal
