Can't Knock The Hustle - Live On MTV Unplugged / 2001

Yeah yeah yeah Roc-A-Fella y'all ha ha

Bounce bounce bounce Roc-A-Fella y'all

Check check

Yo I'm makin short term goals when the weather folds

Just put away the leathers and put ice on the gold

Chilly with enough bail money to free a big willie

High stakes I got more at stake than Philly

Shoppin sprees copin three

Deuce fever IS's fully loaded ah yes

Bouncin in the lex luger tires smoke like buddha

50 G's to the crap shooter n***az can't fade me

Chrome socks beamin

Through my perephreal I see ya schemin

Stop dreamin I leave your body steamin

N***az is fiendin what's the meanin

I'm leanin on any n***a intervenin

With the sound of my money machine-in brrrr

My cup runneth over with hundreds

I'm one of the best n***as that done it six digits and runnin

Y'all n***as don't want it I got the Godfather flow

The Don Juan DeMarco swear to God don't get it f**ked up

I'm takin out this time

I'm takin out this time

To give you a piece of my mind

Cause you can't knock the hustle

Who do you think you are

Who do you think you are

Baby one day you'll be a star

Baby one day you'll be a star

Last seen out of state where I drop my **

I'm deep in the South kickin up top game

Bouncin on the highway switchin fo' lanes

Screamin through the sunroof money ain't a thang

Your worst fear confirmed

Me and my fam' roll tight like The Firm

Gettin down for life that's right you better learn

Why play with fire burn

We get together like a choir to acquire what we desire

We do dirt like worms produce G's like sperm

'Til legs spread like germs

I got extensive h*es with expensive clothes

And I sip fine wines and spit vintage flows

What y'all don't know

Yeah yeah yeah yeah cause you can't knock the hustle

But until the late thang I'm the one who's crazy

But until the late thang I'm the one who's crazy

Cause that's the way you're makin me feel

Cause that's the way you're makin me feel

Cause you can't knock the hustle

I'm just tryin to get mine I don't have the time

I'm just tryin to get mine I don't have the time

To knock the hustle for real

To knock the hustle for real

Yo y'all n***az lunchin punchin the clock

My function is to make much and lay back munchin

Sippin Remy on the rocks my crew somethin to watch

Nothin to stop un stoppable

Scheme on the ice I gotta hot your crew

I gotta let you n***az know the time like Movado

My motto stack rocks like Colorado

Auto off the champagne Cristal's by the bottle

It's a d**n shame what you're not though

Who

Me

Slick like a gato f**kin Jay-Z

My pops knew exactly what he did when he made me

Tried to get a nut and he got a nut and what

Straight bananas can a n***a see me

Got the US Open advantage Jigga

Serve like Sampras play fake a rappers like a campus

Le Tigre son you're too eager

You ain't havin it

Good me either

Let's get together and make this whole world believe us huh

At my arraignment screamin

All us blacks got is sports and entertainment until we even

Thievin as long as I'm breathin

Can't knock the way a n***a eatin f**k you even

To give you a piece of my mind
