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