The Inspiration (Follow Me)

Whats up?

Ha ha

Yeah! Yes! It's real talk, can I talk to y'all for a minute?

I was in the streets the other day,

I had a homie come through and he ask me

Say "Yo! Everybody listen to you,

Everybody all ears, what you gonna do to give back?"

I told him "Look homie, I'm ten steps ahead of you, if not thirty"

Real talk, listen up, I got one song, let's make it right, let's go

I'm high on life and a fifth of Remy

From the city where them young niggas die skinny

Keep work on deck if you need any

Just holler at them boys cause they keep plenty, follow me!

Got the weight of the world on my shoulders

And I swear it feels like ten thousand boulders

And it's so heavy, but I'm so ready

Feels like I was born for this

If not, at least I'll die for it

They said I couldn't do it but I'll still try for it

The big question is what can I do for the youth?

Everybody lyin to 'em so I told 'em the truth

"I'm a hustler!" So, one man, one stage, one mic

One song, one chance to get it right

I really thank y'all, we gon' see the night

And I think I know the way, follow me

"I got hustle!" One man, one stage, one mic

One song, one chance to get it right

I really thank y'all, we gon' see the night

And I think I know the way, follow me

"I'm a hustler!"

Real niggas don't die, they go to the Feds

Fresh out, right back chasin' bread

My life's so hard, so concrete

I was raised by 'em homie, that's why I think so street

Take me for instance

My life is not about you, think me for instance

I did the impossible, I made it out

Got dealt a bad hand but I played it out

I'm a left lane nigga, my life's so fast

Now I'm thinking holmes, got my right blinker on

Spread my word, got my Kirk Franklin on

Stuntin' in traffic like "This my car"

Sometimes I wonder how I made it this far

Life's a bitch so I'm tryna wife her

Just ball around, you know, buy her some things

Lovin' every minute of it, still breakin' chains

"I'm a hustler!" So, one man, one stage, one mic

One song, one chance to get it right

I really thank y'all, we gon' see the night

And I think I know the way, follow me

"I got hustle!" One man, one stage, one mic

One song, one chance to get it right

I really thank y'all, we gon' see the night

And I think I know the way, follow me

"I'm a hustler!"

Y'all my brush, let me paint a perfect picture

Gotta pay attention cause it's three dimensional

Same picture, see it one of three ways

Let it marinate, it might take a few days

They say all I talk about is drugs and violence

So I shouldn't say nothin' Get a moment of silence

If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense

Words to live by, took it out of context

They say your pass is your present and your present is your cash

So I look forward to the future

Get a lil' paper your baby momma won't have

Part of the college so I need a forecast

Where's the weatherman at when you need him?

A hungry nigga eat anything you feed him

A rich nigga will buy anything you sell him

And a broke nigga believe anything you fuckin' tell him

"I'm a hustler!" So, one man, one stage, one mic

One song, one chance to get it right

I really thank y'all, we gon' see the night

And I think I know the way, follow me

"I got hustle!" One man, one stage, one mic

One song, one chance to get it right

I really thank y'all, we gon' see the night

And I think I know the way, follow me

"I'm a hustler!"
