[Intro: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)] ('Cause you can't knock the hustle...) Ohh, uuuuuuahyeah, uuuuuuooooooh Foooooool's, paradise (Jay-Z, ha ha, Meli'sa Morgan) You better think twice (Roc-A-Fella y'all, it don't stop) 'Cause it's not very nice [Verse 1: Jay-Z] We about to change this game, dear Check my pockets, ain't nothing but game there I remain without peer, keep the lames clear And the cats that's all about scratch remain here On top of this Metropolis My name's like a swear, dropped off every tier Now y'all can swear to Jay Heard it the other day Through the missive, peep how they script it We got to hear you every night 'fore we hit the lights, it's type addictive Need cash to live with, the beat goes on Every day is a hustle, the heat grows on Funny thing happens when years of chasing money unfolds And the only thing worse than getting old is not getting old Niggas stay low, like six-fours of shit and gold And watch for hoes with form fitting clothes And I, hope you shine Seen many wrinkles and enough memories to last you two lifetimes Can't knock the hustle [Chorus 1: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)] I'm taking out this time (uh huh, uh huh) To give you a piece of my mind ('Cause you can't knock the hustle, how we do) Who do you think you are? Maybe one day you'll be a star [Verse 2: Jay-Z] Check this In a man's world you need a girl to touch something Pull an 80 out her Anne Klein purse and bust something If you skating through the night to the light, then trust something When I get home, then it's on Girl just crack your shaped legs like Grade A eggs Love the way you behave and beg Moans, turns to hollers and screams as we zone like a college team Then they can hear you from Hollis, Queens Life with me, consists of a lot of things Chicks in your ear, kicking dirt, 'cause you got hotter rings But you know how to scream, friends talking dizziness Remind them freak chicks, stay out my bizziness Know they can't love it, trips to L.A. with no luggage Came back with six bags struggling In first class if my ass should crash, champagne spilled on me Steak still warm on me [Chorus 2: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)] ('Cause you can't knock the hustle) But until then baby, I'm the one who's crazy (uh huh) 'Cause that's the way you're making me feel (how we, how we do) The way you're making me feel ('cause you can't knock the hustle) I don't want no romance (uh huh), I just want the chance Can't knock the hustle for real (ha) [Verse 3: Jay-Z] Ever since I retired, working alongside of live wires To this rap biz, with fake nigs, you know, liars I guess I'm biased 'cause what I talk about I live These rap dudes conflicted Some of them ain't even rapping for chips What part of the game is this? Seems brainless, on tours like whores, guess what I'm saying I miss Cats that go all out for their gold plaques Started with four jacks, ended up with gold Ac's Bet your lungs collapse if my funds get trapped On their, way to me through you, screw you Gun blew you, out of one then two shoes Run through you like um, excuse you But that's my cash, look, I understand your hustle But that's my cash, you don't understand Let my dough pass, you can show it love Like a rap star in front of the club But don't knock the hustle [Chorus 1 & 2: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)] I'm taking out this time To give you a piece of my mind ('Cause you can't knock the hustle) Who do you think you are? Maybe one day you'll be a star (Jigga, Meli'sa) ('Cause you can't knock the hustle) But until then baby, I'm the one who's crazy (uh huh, ha ha) 'Cause that's the way you making me feel The way you making me feel ('Cause you can't knock the hustle) I don't want no romance (how we do), I just want the chance (say what) Can't knock the hustle for real ('Cause you can't knock the hustle) [Outro: Jay-Z (Meli'sa Morgan)] Remix (the hustle), '96 (Can't knock the hustle) Don't stop, 'til the top Roc-A-Fella y'all ('Cause I can't knock the hustle, the hustle) Irv Gotti, Jigga (can't knock the hustle) Meli'sa Morgan, uh huh 'Cause you can't knock the hustle (The hustle, can't knock the hustle 'Cause I can't knock the hustle, the hustle 'Cause I can't knock the hustle) 'Cause you can't knock the hustle...
