Hustle Don’t Sleep
[Intro]
Yeah… (uh)
City got eyes, clocks don’t blink (nope)
While they dreamin’, I’m on the brink
[Verse 1]
Alarm never rang, I was already awake,
Sun still hid, but I’m makin’ my play.
Concrete cold, but my plans stay hot,
Every step calculated like the board got dots.
Night shift lessons in the glow of the street,
Learned patience from hunger, taught grind by defeat.
City keeps count of the moves I make,
Every corner a test, every breath a stake.
Coffee cup courage, pockets stay light,
But the vision stay heavy, keep me sharp through the night.
They snooze on dreams, hit delay on the climb,
I clock overtime while they wastin’ time.
[Chorus]
Hustle don’t sleep, nah, it wide awake,
Grinding through sunrise, whatever it takes.
City countin’ my moves, yeah, watchin’ my pace,
I keep pressure on the gas, never foot on the brake. (never)
Hustle don’t sleep, I ain’t missin’ a beat,
If success knock once, I’m already at the street. (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Moon clock out, sun punch in,
I’m still runnin’ routes I been runnin’ in.
Loose talk costs, so my circle stay small,
I don’t need many hands, I just answer the call.
Bills on my back, but I walk ‘em off straight,
Turn stress into fuel, turn fear into fate.
Sirens sing lullabies, I don’t rest,
I learned early on peace come after the test.
They say slow down, I say not yet,
I ain’t done sweatin’ for the life I bet.
From dark to dawn, yeah, I stay on go,
When the city wake up, I already know.
[Chorus]
Hustle don’t sleep, nah, it wide awake,
Grinding through sunrise, whatever it takes.
City countin’ my moves, yeah, watchin’ my pace,
I keep pressure on the gas, never foot on the brake. (uh)
Hustle don’t sleep, I ain’t missin’ a beat,
If success knock once, I’m already at the street.
[Bridge]
(Up all night, still focused)
Dreams too loud, couldn’t ignore it.
(No days off, no pause)
Every win paid for with scars.
(Eyes open, mind sharp)
City blink first, that’s the art.
[Verse 3]
Sunrise paint gold on the side of my grind,
Another day break, but I’m still in my prime.
I remember them laughs when I said I’d rise,
Now they quiet when they see it in my eyes.
No shortcut maps, just miles of faith,
I drew my own route with sweat and mistakes.
If I fall, I fall forward, learn how to land,
Then I’m back on my feet with a firmer stance.
City keep count, yeah, tally it right,
I been winnin’ in silence all through the night.
[Chorus]
Hustle don’t sleep, nah, it wide awake,
Grinding through sunrise, whatever it takes.
City countin’ my moves, yeah, watchin’ my pace,
I keep pressure on the gas, never foot on the brake. (yeah)
Hustle don’t sleep, remember the name,
When the lights come on, I’m already in the game.
[Outro]
Sun fully up, but I’m still in the zone,
They just clockin’ in—I been workin’ alone.
(Yeah… hustle don’t sleep)
