[Intro — spoken, cool]
From the sidewalk calculus to the skyline calculus — we move calculated.
No romance with the struggle, only respect for the lessons.
[Chorus — hook, assertive]
This the hustler's way, count the steps not the sway,
Turn a short night into long-term play.
From the block to the doorway, ledger lines to pay,
Keep your mind on the motion — that’s the hustler's way.
[Verse 1 — raw, reflective]
Grew up with the corner clocking time like a heartbeat,
Mama saying "keep your head," while the cold wind preach.
We learned currency in favors, currency in trust,
Small wins stacked like bricks, built a house from dust.
I moved quiet, kept the blueprint in a notebook,
Made promises to my future with every look.
No silver spoons, just sharpened spoons in the kitchen,
Cookin' plans, not excuses — that ambition's the ignition.
[Pre-Hook — tight]
Every handshake got a clause, every smile got a clause,
But I write my own terms, I recline off the pause.
[Chorus — hook]
This the hustler's way, count the steps not the sway,
Turn a short night into long-term play.
From the block to the doorway, ledger lines to pay,
Keep your mind on the motion — that’s the hustler's way.
[Verse 2 — boss energy]
Suit up when it helps, hoodie when it hides,
Deal in respect and equity, measure moves in strides.
I trade secrets for stakes, convert pain into stakes,
Buy into the future with the currency I make.
Boardroom or alley, the language stays the same,
Strategy over spectacle — win in silence, claim the name.
They count headlines, I count habits, compound interest of habit,
I plant seeds in concrete and let the heirs have it.
[Bridge — reflective]
Cost of the climb is a calendar of missed dates,
But the summit gives a view where you reassign your weights.
Teach the young to manage hunger, not just feed it,
Give them maps for the maze, show how to lead it.
[Verse 3 — legacy, triumphant]
Now the keys moved from pockets to portfolios,
Same hands that folded bills sign the mezzanine's bylaws.
I ghost the past but I owe the past respect,
Paid in dividends to the block, that’s my architect.
Passing scripts to my kids, not the hustle but the code,
How to plant a seed and let it water its own road.
Hustler ain't a moment, it's the method and the play,
You either learn the rules or you learn how to pay.
[Chorus — final, anthemic]
This the hustler's way, count the steps not the sway,
Turn a short night into long-term play.
From the block to the doorway, ledger lines to pay,
Keep your mind on the motion — that’s the hustler's way.
[Outro — spoken, calm power]
