The Red Light District Lyrics - 2004
[chorus x2]
It
And the hood rolls on.
How do I begin to do this shit right?
And get my hustle on
[verse 1]
Look here,
Now I
But on my path to see the light sometimes my vision gets blurred.
It
and trying to iron out my wrinkles, putting family first.
It seems like the whole world is out for sinking my boat,
but with God as my navigator I
And I admit to being caught by many foolish distractions,
Then I
I
curiosity killed the cat
Gotta keep my nose up out of things that ain
and just because something looks good, don
Get through the agony and anger, the pain and strife,
and take the necessary steps to try to change my life.
I
So why
[chorus x3]
It
And the hood rolls on.
How do I begin to do this shit right?
And get my hustle on
[verse 2]
Now I
I got spoiled when I was young, spoil myself today.
But I feed at least a thousand stomachs,
and how I
from the ground up a hundred miles
and running, dodging and ducking.
Everybody trying to hammer me down,
a self-made millionaire, baby look at me now.
Can
Cause all I ever really needed was a pen in my hand.
And the pad in my lap didn
Me and my mom lived in one room, what
Was a young man forced to grow up at the age of twelve,
Trying to get in where I fit, streets giving me hell.
But yet I give it right back, so how you like that?
Continued doing wrong till I was on the right track.
Tell me about heavy money, I might give it a push,
But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
[chorus x3]
It
And the hood rolls on.
How do I begin to do this shit right?
And get my hustle on
[verse 3]
Now matter how much older we get,
man, we are all still children at heart,
we all make mistakes; it
Now, I
living life on the cutting edge, taking a stab at it.
And learning from my mistakes, try not to make them twice,
Just admit it when I
And baby, nobody
There
but over time I pray to God that he can heal your wounds.
Try and love and love again until they seal your tombs!
Life is short if you don
That
I
they wanna catch me in the open, bring my life to a close.
Meanwhile that
I
Don
just be happy with yourself and it
Come on,
[chorus x4]
It
And the hood rolls on.
How do I begin to do this shit right?
And get my hustle on
