Lyrics
[Intro]
Mel Man, I see you ****
Yeah, I went and done it now
Yeah, ****
Everybody wanna be like Jeezy
Y'all can't be like Jeezy
Look at my watch, look at my wrist
Nothin' like yo' man, he ain't shinin' like this
Nothin' like yo' man, he ain't grindin' like this
And even if he was he ain't **** with cuz (Hey, let's go)
[Verse 1]
I came so far from the bottom, couldn't even see the top
Just as soon as a feel the drought, I'm whippin' up every block
I'm a good God-fearin' man with a criminal mind state
Ain't nobody gave a **** and that's why we grind weight
My grandma off in the church while I'm in the refrigerator
In search of the baking soda right next to the mashed potatoes
She prayin' for better days, I'm prayin' it take this water
Realest that done this **** put that there on my mother and daughter
[Chorus]
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
[Verse 2]
It's Mr. Trap or Die, yeah y'all remember me
First album was a classic, them critics weren't feelin' me
Now as far as award shows, we all know how that goes
So what's all the doubt about, because he ain't sellin' out?
Because he ain't givin' up, because he don't give a ****?
Because he ain't changin' up, I guess he ain't lame enough
And just know I'm savin' up, let you play with my sanity
Gives a **** what you think of me, unless you feedin' my family
**** all my enemies, watch out for my mini me's
Listen to these ****, I bet you hear plenty me
I'm who they pretend to be, do what they pretend to do
See me, I'm a hustla, I do what my hustlas do
[Chorus]
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
[Verse 3]
Might not just be the best, just know I plan to be
I refuse to let suckas win but that's just the man in me
Look, it could be the G in me, these **** ain't seein' me
'Less they seein' me in traffic in somethin' topless and drastic
I say I grind like there's ten of me, I swear to god there's just one of me
Look, I know I ain't there yet, just know that I'm gonna be
I couldn't wait to see the day I could change where my mama stay
I put the B.S. behind me, there's too much money in front of me
[Chorus]
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
My ambitions as a hustla (I won't deny it, I'm a straight hustla)
(I won't deny it)
