Knock Tha Hustle ft. Mark Ulaya Lyrics

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
