1
Let me tell you what priceless is, some advice to give
2
A sacrifice is what I made for the wife and kids
3
They say life's a bitch, but it's one life to live
4
I want my baby where that cake and the icing is
5
Out of them crisis-es off of them vices-es
6
They see what we do and grow up in all likenesses
7
Really, I don't wanna see 'em having to fight for this
8
Story of the family biz; I'm-a rewrite the script
9
Daughter of a hip-hopper, hustla like her grandpapa
10
Her destiny done been determined, so you can't stop her
11
From being independent, earning paper and proper
12
More like a lawyer or a doctor, not a man watcher
13
That's where your man got ya; it's a big world out, yeah
14
I'm tryna make a black diamond or a pearl out, yeah
15
And hit the people to the way the world twirl out, yeah
16
And when I thank heaven for my little girl
17
[Chorus]
18
Please, let her be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
19
Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla
20
Let her be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
21
If not, then you're only a customer
22
Please, let him be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
23
Hope my baby boy grows up to be a hustla
24
Let him be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
25
If not, then you're only a customer
26
Sugar Slim, I'm slicker than a squid; nigga, no kids
27
No baby momma, sugar, freed from the drama
28
Sugar, be where he wanna, no sweat like a sonnet
29
No judge, your honor, can't tell me how to raise mine
30
Figure that in due time, if and when I do find
31
True love, {?} maybe you can blue-line
32
Oh, I'm caught up in the moment for the meantime
33
G, I'm all about the green like tree pines
34
See, I'm tryna get the scratch like a feline
35
Hoping that my seed don't know the struggle like me, I'm
36
Hustling to make a buck, make a buck and fuck it up
37
Fuck it up and suck it up, then go and make another buck
38
Get the money, get the money, that's what I know
39
I'm hoping that my seeds know a little more than I know
40
I know, I know, but, baby, this what I know
41
If we ever settle down, well, baby, this what I hope
42
[Chorus]
