{Intro}
 Yeah
 It's that shit
 Yeah
 Didn't want to be a hustler
 But I had no choice
 why'all don't know what that is
 That's what shit, what
 Didn't want to be a hustler
 But I had no choice
 Lemme school why'all for a minute
 What

 1 - I didn't want to be a hustler
 Didn't want to hurt my mother
 I know she didn't raise me that way
 But I had to feed my family
 "Lord watch his back" she did pray
 I'm sorry mama, but now I'm paid

 Because of my surroundings
 I had no real choice and
 Knew that I was going
 Not even knowing
 This was my destiny
 A ghetto prodigy
 Living in poverty
 Really checked my mentality
 Brought out the thug in me

 Repeat 1
 Before the crib and the 600
 I was a shorty on the block runnin'
 A little punk mothafucka just like you
 Loud mouth knucklehead who loved to fight too
 But I learned the real way of winnin' the game
 Is not clockin' for another cat, makin' him famous
 But coppin' me a brick, stayin' on the low
 Hustled it myself, now I'm never gon' be broke

 Repeat 1
 Mmm hmm hmm (this the best part right here)
 All day

 2 - All night and all day
 Had to get my pay, but
 But the stacks
 Stacks and stacks of cash
 Kept my pockets fat

 Repeat 2
 Ooh-wee, I gotta get it
 (Now if you got it like they want it and you know it)
 Now somebody say ohh ohh ohh
 (Dave make 'em holla for that dolla)

 Ohh-wee-ohh, yooo
 (Oh oh oh)
 Ohh-wee-ohh, yooo
 (Gotta get my money why'all)
 Ohh-wee-ohh, yooo
 (Hey, hey)
 Ohh-wee-ohh, yooo
 (Didn't want to be)

 Repeat 1
 Repeat 1

 Repeat 1 while:
 Mama, I'm sorry
 Ooh, ohh
 Everybody say with me
 Everybody sing with me, say
 Ohh-wee-ohh, ohh
 Gotta get that doe-ee-ohh
 Ohh ohh

 Everybody say
 Ohh-wee-ohh, ohh ohh
 Gotta get that doe-ee-ohh
 Ohh ohh
