Lyrics

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling

The song is about a homeless person getting by on what he had, struggling and fighting daily for his life, but still having fun with it. “I live a block and a half away from Skid Row and it’s about a homeless guy and the dichotomy about how homeless people are living in the most humble circumstances, and yet sometimes they have the biggest ego’s ever. I’ve walked up to so many homeless people like, ‘hey want some food?’ and it’s not even touched but they open it up and are like ‘I don’t like mango!’ and I’m like ‘What? Aren’t you hungry?’” transcribed from x View wiki
