Hustle Economics
Intro:
It's Cas Metah, Yukmouth, Ras Kass
Re:Flex the Architect on the beat
About to teach y'all the hustle economics
Let's get it

Verse 1: Cas Metah
I know a lot of emcees like to claim they nice
But can't make a dope album to save they life
Congrats! You filled your notebook with pain and strife
But when I Google your name ain't a thing online
The truth hurts
So when I kick a new verse you curse
Like someone kicked you in the goobers
Prove words with actions, that's all that I'm asking
If you don't have a catalog you don't have a track record
How you rapping and you don't have a tracked record?
Even underground cats have to have work ethic!
If you rocking shows and don't have a merch booth
How are your supportive fans supposed to reimburse you?
And I don't think I'm better, I want to see y'all profit
It's not rocket science, just hustle economics
Come on let's get together and talk about the topic
It's not rocket science, just hustle economics (Let's go!)

Hook:
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on where all my hustlers? (where all my hustlers?)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (let's get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Verse 2: Yukmouth
(Look, look, Zilla)
Big Daddy and Marley Marl
Eric B. and Rakim I had them all on my wall, dog
Writing raps locked up in juvenile hall
Having fantasies of money and visions of how to ball, dog
Fast forward, on tour with Biggie Smalls
It was all a dream now it's plaques up on my wall, Lord
Met Pac now I rock with the Outlawz
Did songs with Tha Dogg Pound, smoked pounds with Snoop Dogg, Lord
God blessed I feel blessed
Dragon swinging from my neck, Rolex throw up the West, yes
No 360 deal I'm a vet
I invest in my own projects and get a check, yes
Independent grind I'm a hustler
I was taught you got to spend money to make it double up
If you don't know that then step your hustle up
Real boss n***as pull strings, you trying to double-dutch

Hook:
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on where all my hustlers? (where all my hustlers?)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (let's get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Verse 3: Ras Kass
I done turned pro from the prelim's
If you living with your BM then stay out them basic chickens DM
Social media to meet booking agents and GM's
Promoters that's European, it's called net-work
Cats want all the fame but ain't put in the hard work
Throwing bands at strip clubs, albums selling card board
Hustling backwards, cart before the horses
And think side rappers owe you free verses
'cause you so hot
Yeah, heard it all a million times
A thousand rappers thinking overnight they getting shine
You talking swag, I'm talking skill, so get in line
Or get in grind mode, takes 9 to 5 to get a dime
I spit a rhyme, we mix, master and market, do publishing splits
'cause when the business is handled then we all benefit
Like Cumberbatch you been a dick
Arnold, traitor, no wonder you ain't getting rich, stupid

Hook:
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on where all my hustlers? (where all my hustlers?)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (let's get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
