[Intro: Ray Hurd & Marcus Orelias]
RH: What does it mean to "hustle hard?"
MO: You know what it is
Know what you wanna be
You know what you get
Riding around the city
Always gon' shine cause it's all in my mind
Only thing I need: family and time
(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias)
These days, everybody swear they making moves
But I started from nothing and still the same dude. (ooo wee)
Accepted change
Often stumbled
Still humble
Same game
Echo chambers so they out here saying the same things
Same dreams, all attracting the wealth
If you want to succeed, gotta get it yoursеlf
Been hella focused ‘cause I want nothing еlse
And I won't stop cause there is nothing else
Why you say, “O what if you lose?
If it all falls down, what would you choose?”
You wouldn't even say that if you seen where I been
You'll never know my hustle unless you one of my kin
Lets be honest: when I was down, hungry and broke
I could count on one hand everyone who was close
So please don't talk like you one of my folks (shh shh shh)
Then wonder why, Marcus got ghost
I'm going all in, we headed to the top
Had to pledge allegiance to never be what I'm not
I struggled but did it with some help
And I had to push through all the pain that I felt. (ahh)
So many nights I shed my tears
I ain't never tried to snake my peers
Thank you, my vision so clear
You can see what it is then I'll leave it on the floor so you know what you get
Easy.
(Chorus 1: Jess)
How many people you know that wanna grind non-stop?
That'll hustle this hard?
How many people you know?
(People you know)
How many people do you know that wanna take it the top?
That'll hustle this hard?
How many people you know?
(People you know)
Take me to the moon. (oh woah)
Take me to the stars
How many people you know that'll hustle this hard?
(Verse 2: Marcus Orelias)
The ancestors with me so I never feel alone
The city where I'm from, don't even feel like it's home
Only time they miss me is when they money is gone
Mom says she's okay, I hear the pain in her tone
Yea I care for something more than myself
I don't know where I'd be without her help
Stick and move like Mike
I see my future looks bright
So Imma keep shining hard like some street lights
They ask if I'll deliver again?
Then I turn around and I do it again
You win, when you believe you can win. (that's right)
Follow your passion
Finish the mission
You got it
[Chorus 2]
How many people you know that wanna grind non-stop?
That'll hustle this hard?
How many people you know?
(People you know)
How many people do you know that wanna take it the top?
That'll hustle this hard?
How many people you know?
(People you know)
Take me to the moon. (oh woah)
Take me to the stars
How many people you know that'll hustle this hard?
This Hard
