In fifth grade I was hustling my Genesis game
I was dumb young selling chew gum to my classmates
on the cash chase moving at a fast pace
never been a dummy never did what the dummies do
so I had a mill to burn before I turned 22

'cause the more money I make the more problem for you

So stop drawing man you got to respect it

All my niggas that ever had to hustle to get at a dollar, this for y'all man
Personality changed man,
The kid Cassidy, this for the hood man
