Hustle & Flow

Hustle & Flow Lyrics

On the first roll 7 or 11 is a winner
Either other time 11 is irrelevant
And 7 is cr*ps, after you've established a point
A point being 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10

2's, 3's, and 12's is only relevant on your first roll and they cr*ps
The money gone but the dice stay
Just 'cuz I taught you the game don't mean you know how to play
And it damn sure don't make you

I'm a hustla baby, I take chances everyday
I'm a gambler baby, how can I win if I don't play
I'm a hustla baby, you either hustlin' them or they hustlin' you
I'm a gambler baby, I'm gon' do what the old heads taught me

Five hundred on the line and I'm looking for a 10
But I know exactly know how to find a b**ch again
I buck 'em off the table, a 4 and a 6
Money up, money down, who gonna fade me tricks

Came a 6 and what I left with, hush it
It's a secret, hustlas don't discuss it
Brush the dust off my britches when the dice game finished
Sometimes you gotta lose, man that just the business

I done left the rent to the dice game, the water and lights
My old lady bout to hoop and call it a night
My last two hundred, and I'm bout to let it ride

Let 'em roll, came out a 4 and 5
My points 9, I'm working, 8, 10, I'm searchin'
Well, here goes a 4 and a 5
Well, a 6 and a 3 but either way it's a 9

I'm a hustla baby, I take chances everyday
I'm a gambler baby, how can I win if I don't play
I'm a hustla baby, you either hustlin' them or they hustlin' you
I'm a gambler baby, I'm gon' do what the old heads taught me

The sink in a drought and I'm tryin' to survive
Cable off, TV only picks up five
White sneakers, damn near look off-white
And I'm still using heavy starches, them sh*t is alright

My whole life I'd have trouble stayin' focused
But I never gave up and never stopped copin'
Pits in the yard, a bucket in the driveway
I'm gonna turn that b**ch into a new truck one day

Someday, 'cuz I'm gonna get out here and work until
I get a mil, f**k the lotto and a record deal
It's real, when you don't even know when your gonna get your next meal
Even though when you straight, you still feel like you on them X pills

Can't sit still, you pace back and forth
Cross the floor until you can't take no more
But I'ma be back, believe that, like my big homie E-Mack
The muthaf**kin' Southside

I'm a hustla baby, I take chances everyday
I'm a gambler baby, how can I win if I don't play
I'm a hustla baby, you either hustlin' them or they hustlin' you
I'm a gambler baby, I'm gon' do what the old heads taught me

I took sixteen zips of that Mexican red
Weighed my quarters at five, charged an arm and a leg
Busted heads, this move dealt me a new hand
The eight I invested was now two grand

Met a busta at a club and told him I was the man
Met up with him, sold him a quarter ki of sand
A young dude, my mentality was like f**k dude
We like some pit puppies fightin over dog food

In school, I sold candy a quarter a piece
I made my money off three and the rest was all me
In life I f**ked a couple of good connects up
So if you in the car with me keep ya heads up
Worked so hard but couldn't stack no bread up

Finally said f**k it 'cuz I just got fed up
The money I owe you, you can chop that boss
Because I don't think you got the balls to come knock Stak off

I'm a hustla baby, I take chances everyday
I'm a gambler baby, how can I win if I don't play
I'm a hustla baby, you either hustlin' them or they hustlin' you
I'm a gambler baby, I'm gon' do what the old heads taught me
