Yeah I think he's saying that hustling isn't the right thing to do, because it goes both ways, and the wrong a powerful man can do is far worse than a street hustler. I think he's trying to say "street hustling gets you no where - get off your ass and go get power in society so you can do the right thing"

Great lyrics, although this cleaned-up version is a little less edgy than the original.

I HATE RAP.....because you don't hear stuff like THIS anymore! This is old school hip hop at it's best. He actually has more to say than just talking about his rims, money, or bitches. To all other aspiring rappers out there: pay attention to this group. Take notes. When you get done, make it obvious that you actually put some thought into your lyrics. Thanks for posting this sirdynozxiv!

God, this song is so great. I'm plotting how I can make my coworkers and people in my life watch it ALL the way.
