Testo Respect This Hustle - T.I.

Testo della canzone Respect This Hustle (T.I.), tratta dall'album T.I. VS T.I.P.

Huh, yeah (ay! You already know what this is, homie!)
Ay, yo, what you yellin' for, man,? (man, shut the - up talkin' to me, man)
Man, calm down, shorty
(Nah, you calm down, I ain't got - to say to you, man)
Man, see, that's why I don't even - wit'chu dawg
(Hollywood ass -, I don't - with you)
You be on that bull-, man
(Yeah, man, well you better respect my muh- hustle)
Man, you ain't the only one gotta hustle - (I told you once, man)
You can't tell me -! (You heard me) a'ight now
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, M-Y, H-U-S-T-L-E
Should respect this hustle, respect this hustle
Won't accept nuttin' else so respect this hustle
I ain't in it for the fame, I ain't in it for the glory
I'm down to die for it, absolutely, mandatory
Respect this hustle, respect this hustle
Won't accept nuttin' else so respect this hustle (ay!)
These - -made, I'm gettin' paid six ways
Six laid, -'s sprayed with lemonade with blades
Keep your mouth closed, you don't wanna get -
- you up your -, let it sunbathe, six days
Kamikaze renegade, nah, he never been afraid
Kept the trap hot enough to fry an egg in the shade
I ball 'til the day I'm lyin' dead in the grave
I leave the Feds behind the wall 'cause I ain't get away
Chopper 'round the corner and a bushel with a - - -
The bust can happen any day, we out here trappin' anyway
Gettin' money's an addiction, damn, what a - say?
I got a real bad condition if I ain't gettin' paid
Hand over fist, well I miss it, gotta get busy
I know you see this car I drive and see the house that I live in
And figure this is enough (what, -?) I want way mo'
- this is Play-Doe, you set your sights way low
Had enough of the game, I don't know whether to stay or go
And different group of lames and suckas e'rywhere, which way I go?
(But -, know you King, why you always gotta say it fo'?)
'Cause they said I couldn't say it befo'
And I remember all it did was - my temper up mo', Doug and J know
I said I wear a crown, not a halo, - sorry
- think they seein' me but they so sorry
They fast but they ain't no Ferrari
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, M-Y, H-U-S-T-L-E
Should respect this hustle, respect this hustle
Won't accept nuttin' else so respect this hustle
I ain't in it for the fame, I ain't in it for the glory
I'm down to die for it, absolutely, mandatory
Respect this hustle, respect this hustle
Won't accept nuttin' else so respect this hustle
Ay, don't you think you been pullin' - fussing, cussing enough?
'Round here braggin' 'bout these -, you be - -
Man, look around, ain't nobody sufferin' but her
You could beat a hundred cases, catch one and you -
(man, I get probation) is you crazy? Pull a gun in the club
See how many folks and polices put you down in the club
If we gotta come with a -, why we come to the club?
How much more of this - you think we can sweep under the rug?
(Look, we already told them, "I Told You So")
But all these - speakin' out who wouldn't spoke befo'
Don't take it personal, people wanna be close to folk
What you think the televisions and the posters fo'?
(Yeah, man, I'm claustrophobic though) well you need to see a doctor for it
And I ain't jokin', you close Tip and you 'bout to blow it
Did you forgot about them nights in the cells, was you honest
(I dunno) When we was havin' talks with God and you promised
If he made a way for you to be large, and you done it
Out the gate, "Urban Legend" went on to do numbers
Sold a mil', made "ATL", "King" first week five hundred
Won the Grammy's (but not the one that I wanted)
What about them eight figure deals and that other new money?
But ask yourself somethin', where the gun you got from me?
Keep it real
Talk about somethin' other than yourself sometime (man)
Did you keep your promise partner? (Ay, just keep it real)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, M-Y, H-U-S-T-L-E
Should respect this hustle, respect this hustle
Won't accept nuttin' else so respect this hustle
I ain't in it for the fame, I ain't in it for the glory
I'm down to die for it, absolutely, mandatory
Respect this hustle, respect this hustle
Won't accept nuttin' else so respect this hustle (ay!)
Ay, respect ain't given and earned (I wanna earn mine, partner)
Bruh, if you 'on respect your own hustle, man
Ain't nobody else gonna respect it (oh, oh, they're gon' respect, man, I'ma see to it)
Whatever, man, I already said all I got to say, man
Man, all you do is talk, partner, bless me with the b-
See, tha', see that's your muh'- problem, man, you think ain't nobody can tell you a little more
Man, - you - (I got money, bro, you know what I'm sayin'?)
I'm livin' life well, dog, I got chillin' and e'rythin' I got to see after, man
(Yo, yo, me too, homie) I'm tryna hit a - (man, run out with your punk- money, man)
(What you doin', man?) But what the - are you workin' so hard to get out this -
For then if you want to live like that? (You know, man, you know I'm still down)
(To do whatever) uh-huh (stupid man, but I can't) man, call me what you want to
You're real told, man. I don't give a f-
I tell you what, stay out of my mo- isle, man
