Knock Tha Hustle (feat. Mark Ulaya)

I always dreamt that I could be the greatest Could woo the world, capture hearts with just a pen and paper The boys and girls that told me I ain't never gonna make it I never bothered with, because the music was all that I ever wanted While everybody was doubting, I was practising my verses Tryna get my name up off that Worst List Kept it on the low while I was putting all that work in Satan got me thinking maybe all of this is worthless But I ain’t ever listened to the devil, no And I ain't gonna sit here counting all my woes I'ma keep on putting work 'til I defeat the foes They say struggle makes you strong, now watch that power grow Cause someday they gon' know; all this work you know that I deserve a spot Someday I'm gon make a way up to the top Yeah, all this work you know that I deserve a spot Someday I'm gon make a way up to the top Cause I been writing verses for way too long I been making music for way too long I been, patiently waiting. How'd I wait this long? I been tryna make it for way too long You can't knock the hustle, man, it's way too strong It's way too strong I said you can't knock the hustle, man, it's way too strong It's way too strong The unforeseen ascension or the greatest demise Yo lately I been asking questions, why ain't no one replied? All this potential what do with it? I'm looking at the plan like Do I really got the guts to follow through with it? And this is probably the realest stuff you'll ever hear Last year was fine, but this was s'posed to be a better year People keep on asking me bout university The family expecting me to be an engineer That's what I get for being a straight-A student But what about my passions like football or music? Anyone who says they're useless is stupid I wanna spar with em They say they’re hobbies, there's no way that I'll go far with em? They tryna limit me, I hate it it's ridiculous I hate society, they all a bunch of hypocrites But my time is coming and I know it's coming soon Yo they say the sky's the limit but there's footprints on the moon But I been getting tired I go way too hard I been wide awake working way too long I been patiently waiting, can't wait too long I been getting slept on for way too long You can't knock the hustle it's way too strong It's way too strong I said you can't knock the hustle it's way too strong It's way too strong I get lost in my thoughts as I walk in the streets And lately you been on my mind you been invading my sleep So when I'm thinking bout you, are you thinking bout me? And if you are, do you believe in destiny? They say that real love is rare so when you find it You ought to hold on to it, pray my kids don't make mistakes that I did Where did the time go? I wish we could rewind it I go online and see your posts and I'm reminded Of your intellect, and that's the thing about the internet Do you remember what we had or did you forget? Do you remember all the love that once filled us? Well I remember it was distance that killed us How could I lose sight of what a beauty you are? I think I may have lost the moon while I was counting the stars No doubt about it, ain’t no questioning that you the Only girl I've ever really loved I should have told you sooner But I been procrastinating this for way too long I been supressing my feelings for way too long Been thinking bout the dates I could've taken you on Thinking bout you all day, now every day's too long We ain’t had a conversation in way too long I would've called maybe I've waited too long But you can't knock the hustle cause it's way too strong It's way too strong K-Squared Mark Scratching the surface
