Hustle Cold by.MSZ

Chorus

Stackin' paper, hustle cold, yeah we never fold

Life in the corners, stories never told

Run the block, movin' loud, bullets in my soul

Blowin' smoke, sippin' dirty, heart full of gold

Post-Chorus

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, rushin' for the milli’s

Verse 2

Mama worried 'bout the streets, but I'm ridin' deep

Dodge the sirens every night, runnin' with my peeps

Cash in a duffle bag, drip on my sleeve

Trap life, code black, never trust a fiend

Throwin' fists, gun shots, seein' all red

Fake boys run they mouth, all of 'em dead

Life for a stack, riskin' it for bread

No regrets, dirty days, let the bloodshed spread

Pre-Chorus

Grew up fast with the wolves on the hunt

If you weak in the mind, you get smoked like a blunt

No love in these streets, it’s a war every month

I got scars on my heart, but I still never front

Chorus

Stackin' paper, hustle cold, yeah we never fold

Life in the corners, stories never told

Run the block, movin' loud, bullets in my soul

Blowin' smoke, sippin' dirty, heart full of gold

Post-Chorus

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, rushin' for the milli’s

Verse 3: Kgosi

Pull up with my clique, Jozi heat, never fake

Strapped with ambition while these cowards playin' snake

Dope boys schemin', dodgin' cuffs, that’s the scene

Nyaupe dreams, tryna rise, chasin' cream

Glock on my lap, windows cracked, fingers tap

Bando full of smoke, police makin' maps

Clip full, mind dull, nerves gettin' cold

Dog eat dog, another body goes untold

Verse 4: Mbali

See my name ringin’ out, queen up in the trap

Bread winnin' while they hatin', watch 'em all snap

Choppin' lines, dirty rhymes, night never ends

Enemies in blue lights, fake ass friends

Motherland scars, but I run the set

Feelin’ no remorse, never break a sweat

Drip got ‘em shook, hustle got ‘em stressed

Lay the crown on the block, put these bitches to the test

Outro: Both

Show no pity, this life built gritty

Run with my wolves in the heart of the city

Pour for the lost and the ones who ain’t free

Streets own my soul and they won’t set me free

Post-Chorus

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, rushin' for the milli’s

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, rushin' for the milli’s

Bridge: Kgosi

Raised in the gloom, born for the struggle

Pockets stay lean, still I flex every muscle

Watch for the feds, every call sound trouble

Dreams weighed down, but my grind always double

Verse 5: Mbali

Been through the pain, made a bed with the fear

Let the world point fingers, I’m the reason they cheer

Bags on the table, snakes in the grass

Victory’s filthy, but the gold never pass

Nights with the dealers, brothers on my side

Hunted by the curse, but we hustle with pride

Hustle with pride, yeah, we hustle with pride

Final Chorus

Stackin' paper, hustle cold, yeah we never fold

Life in the corners, stories never told

Run the block, movin' loud, bullets in my soul

Blowin' smoke, sippin' dirty, heart full of gold

Post-Chorus

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, rushin' for the milli’s

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, we was built for the milli’s

Coda: Both

Another night falls, hands bloody from the chase

Cash talk louder, cold steel to the face

Betrayal close, gotta watch who embrace

South-side born, ain't no path to erase

Tag: Kgosi

Kings rise fast, but the ground always shakes

Too many stories left in shallow graves

Tag: Mbali

Queen in the smoke, final word in the haze

Heavy is the crown, in these concrete mazes

Outro Post-Chorus

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, heart never pretty

Extended Verse: Both

No sleep, mind race, scars run deep

Blood on the pavement where the broken dreams weep

Contracts unsigned, poison in the ink

Gangs in the alleys, guns tucked in the mink

Pour Henny for the fallen, souls never at rest

Runnin' through these hells, only pride in my chest

Shakespeare in the trap, pen sharper than chrome

Write my pain in the gutter, call these corners my home

Outro Tag: Both

Never turn back, let the plot run wicked

Concrete books, every line twisted

No way out when your name in the streets

South-side legends, printin' fate on these sheets

Outro Post-Chorus

Ooh oh, savage in the city

Ooh oh, story never pretty
