[Verse 1: Julien Bam]
If I took a day off today
Would the whole world go crazy?
Would they even notice I'm not there?
And maybe I sleep in 'till four
Order pizza to my door
Take it back to bed with all they care
Who knows, I might even try
To leave my phone and stay offline
No status updates, snapchats and no tweets
If I feel like takin' a shower
And stay in their for at least an hour
No one to report to or to meet
[Pre-Hook: Julien Bam]
So if only, if only
Only, my day off came true
But today there's too much stuff I gotta do (so I)
[Hook: Julien Bam]
I gotta hustle (hustle), hustle, hustle, and flow
Bit too big, gotta bust, check one, check two, to-do list here we go
'Cause talkin' best, I'm not the best at takin' it slow
I gotta hustle (hustle), hustle, hustle, and flow
[Verse 2: Julien Bam]
If I took downtime just for fun
I'd treat all my friends to lunch
And ask the pretty waitress
To leave with me, yeah-eah
If only for a moment please
Do not wake me up yet, please
Yeah, daydream on repeat, yeah-eah
[Pre-Hook: Julien Bam]
Oh, if only, if only
Only, my day off came true
But there's still so much stuff I gotta do (so I)
[Hook: Julien Bam]
I gotta hustle (hustle), hustle, hustle, and flow
Bit too big, gotta bust, check one, check two, to-do list here we go
'Cause talkin' best, I'm not the best at takin' it slow
I gotta hustle (hustle), hustle, hustle, and flow
[Verse 3: Ice]
Oh, shit, man!
The sun ain't even up yet, I went to bed way after sunset
Rehearsin' and workin' and smokin' up 'till I'm blunt
To see the curse of being self-sufficient, is quite the differennce
Independence means taking care of your burdens
So instead of getting back down, I choose to bounce
It's money that gotta be made, and I can't afford to take a day off
No matter how much I wanna get lost somewhere abroad
I gotta go hard, 'cause that's the cost of being the boss
And bein' in charge, that's the reason why we hustle and flow
We struggle to grow, put on a couple of shows
With the hope that I might take a pretty honey back home
But I know there's no way, 'cause I got work in the mornin'
And in order to reach my goals, I gotta miss out now
'Cause I wanna be right in front instead of left behind
So if all that I have to do is choose to sacrifice
I'll give it every day of the rest of my life
Oh, if I
[Pre-Hook: Julien Bam]
Oh, if only, if only
Only, my day off came true
But there's still so much stuff I gotta do (so I)
[Hook: Julien Bam]
I gotta hustle (hustle), hustle, hustle, and flow
Bit too big, gotta bust, check one, check two, to-do list here we go
'Cause talkin' best, I'm not the best at takin' it slow
I gotta hustle (hustle), hustle, hustle, and flow
