Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling But I can`t seem to catch a dime Take a little hit and I lose the time I took the man and his horse And ran before he looked up I said the light`s gonna change But I`m calm and feeling warm And now I`m sticking out my hands And feeling weightless again You got to push, got to shove I`ve got to eat before they eat me Got the crown and the cup I`ve got to write to my family And say, "I`m calm and feeling warm." I`m not quite there, but I`m close And it`s a world of difference Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling But I can`t seem to catch a dime Take a little hit and I lose the time I`ve got the worst all behind me Yeah, they`ll never be able to find me I`m the king of the city I`m a roach and they`re all primates This is meal time Real life I`m not gonna fight No, I`m not gonna start a war Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling But I can`t seem to catch a dime Take a little hit and I lose the time Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling Yet again I`m hustling
