Hustler's Withdrawal Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Yeah
Hah
Yo
[Am]Ugh[Dm]
Yeah

[Verse 2]
(Verse 1) He went from [Am]a street
kid doin
regular [Dm]street things
Straight to a street king
Takin over the city, block by [F]block
[Dm]Breaking down bricks,
servin them rock by rock
He's everything a young gun
want to grow up to be
But if only these young guns could see
That murder, money,
and [Am]lust is slowly [F]murderin' [Dm]us
'cause the drug game
ain't what it used to be
So look deeper when they
[Am]paint you a pic[Dm]ture
And try to sell you a dream
'cause a lot of these drug lords turn to the feds,
or turn in[Am]to fiends
[F]The crack [Dm]game ain't everything
it's cracked up to be
Now that same cat that was a,
neighborhood celebrity
Is coppin rocks off the news kids
on the block
At the same time [Am]tryna school them
[F]But these hoodlum[Dm]s got heads as hard as
the rocks that he's doin'
Hustlin's like [Am]a drug,
it's got [Dm]withdrawal symptoms
And if you know this, you won't skip fame
But you will gain [Am]wisdom,
[Dm]and wisdom gains power
Don't let your life go sour
over power

[Verse 3]
(Chorus) Hustlin's like [Dm]a drug,
it's addicting
The more you hustle,
the more you get addicted
The longer you hustle,
the [Am]deeper the ad[F]diction
[Dm]If you used to push weight you relate
(it's the hustler's withdrawal)
Hustlin's like a drug, it's addicting
The more you hustle,
the more you get addicted
The longer you hustle,
the [Am]deeper the [F]ad diction
[Dm]If you used to push weight you relate
(it's the hustler's withdrawal)

[Verse 4]
(Verse 2) Not only did my [Dm]father
used
to deal dope
He used to do the dope he used to deal,
I'm juss' keepin it real
Now my father doesn't [Am]have shit
[F]I don't have s[Dm]hit
We don't have shit
'cause he didn't stack shit
With all the money he [Am]made,
he didn't think [Dm]for one second to put money away
That's 'cause his mind was clouded
with white thoughts
[Am]He's lucky that he [F]didn't end [Dm]up
outlined in white chalk
The only thing I can say I gained
from my father is
Knowledge of the street game
And I hope that y'all follow this
I can't say I haven't
[Am]sold weed [F]or cocaine
[Dm]But I can say this
Money that comes quick, leaves quick
And y'all better believe this
'cause this I've lived and witnessed
Catch a couple of charges
Now [Am]you're on the Lord's [F]shit list
[Dm]Now you're forced to do business
Until this business does you of course
[Am]You can die doin[Dm]' dope,
or dealin dope, either or
You choose the road that you [Am]need to follow
[F]And you cho[Dm]ose the people that
you look up to as role models

[Verse 5]
(Chorus) Hustlin's like a drug,
[Dm]
it's addicting
The more you hustle,
the more you get addicted
The longer you hustle,
the deeper the ad[F]diction
[Dm]If you used to push weight you relate
(it's the hustler's withdrawal)
Hustlin's like a drug, it's addicting
The more you hustle,
the more you get addicted
The longer you hustle,
the [Am]deeper the ad[F]diction
[Dm]If you used to push weight you relate
(it's the hustler's withdrawal)

[Verse 6]
(Verse 3) [Am]I know about
hustler's
But I won't mention no names
[Dm]'cause they still got
cases pending
And some are even, appealing,
[Am]life in the cage
[Dm]At least they made it past the first phase,
they passed a certain age
Hustlin's like AIDS
At first your infected with HIV,
and then it's full blown
Only difference [Am]is,
instead of [F]havin' no im[Dm]mune system
You become immune to the system of havin dough,
by dealin blow
[Am]It's a fast life[Dm] and even if you survive,
your mind will die slow
Dirty money at[Am]tracts, dirty [F]things
[Dm]An d if you plan to deal dope I hope
you're ready for the murder game
'cause that's what it brings
I'm not a preacher,
I'm not tryin' to preach, no
I'm not a teacher,
I'm [Am]not tryna [F]teach, but y[Dm]et
Like a faucet, I'm tryin' to leak
Any foe,
tell these young'ns and their kinfolk
And let em' know there's
more to life than a G of coke
If you used to push [Am]weight
then [F]you relate
[Dm]'cause you already had a taste of,
hustler's withdrawal

[Verse 7]
(Chorus) Hustlin's like a drug,
[Dm]
it's addicting
The more you hustle,
the more you get addicted
The longer you hustle,
the [Am]deeper the ad[F]diction
[Dm]If you used to push weight you relate
(it's the hustler's withdrawal)
Hustlin's like a drug, it's addicting
The more you hustle,
the more you get addicted
The longer you hustle,
the [Am]deeper the ad[F]diction
[Dm]If you used to push weight you relate (i[Am]t's the hustler's withdrawal)
