You don't know what I've seen Or what this means to me
Hustle hard to stay alive Do whatever to survive
Late nights in the city Where the money never sleep
While I'm watching out my window From apartment 5D
Learn to feed the family Through secrets that we keep
Ain't no other way around it Everybody gotta eat
Seen it all, probably more Right above the corner store
For the raw, know the fiends Will bring the fiends right to my door
If they whistle by my building Then the neighbors make a call
Pray the boys don't run up on me Catch me trappin' in the hall
It's the truth, nothin' new We comin' through like an invasion
Puzzlin' these pieces First we dream it then we chase it
Focus on my family first My only destination
Life could disagree And try to eat my motivation
Every day I wake Try to break my concentration
Turn the world against me Bring me back down to the basics
This is what I'm faced with Life from out the matrix
They can never catch me I'll be somewhere in my spaceship
Out to get mine Do whatever to survive
Hustle hard all day So my dreams will never fade away
You don't know what I've seen Or what this means to me
Hustle hard to stay alive Do whatever to survive
Do what I do, I'ma waste no time
Oh, livin' on a prayer And I've been waitin' my whole life
Oh, hustle hard, be gone through the midnight
Oh, if I don't make it home Baby, you'll be alright
Out to get mine Do whatever to survive
Hustle hard all day So my dreams will never fade away
You don't know what I've seen Or what this means to me
Hustle hard to stay alive Do whatever to survive
Out to get mine Do whatever to survive
Hustle hard all day So my dreams will never fade away
You don't know what I've seen Or what this means to me
Hustle hard to stay alive
Do whatever to survive
