From the recording Rap In Binary
Lyrics
Intro monologue (spoken, not rapped):
[Older Man: “Young hustla, you really out here movin’ like that?”]
[Young Guy: “Every day, same grind… weight on my back, no books, just bands. Corner my classroom.”]
[Men: “Facts… keep pushin’… that’s the code.”]
[Young Guy: “Street education only. No cap.”]Hook (rapped):
"[YOUNG HUSTLA!] I’ll be movin’ weight like WHOO [WHOO!]
Young hustla, movin’ weight like WOO [WOO-WOO!]
Young hustla, movin’ weight like WHOO [ONNA GANG!]
Young, young, young, YOUNG HUSTLA [YEAH, YOUNG!]Bookbag on my back, ain’t NO BOOKS in it [NAH!]
Toe tag if you LOOK in it [BRRAT!]
Black Flag, man DOWN, crooks GET it [DOWN!]
Buy my own kicks, school ain’t did shit [DIDN’T! YEAH!]"Verse 1:
Street education, CORNER my campus [CAMPUS!]
Textbooks? Nah, I trap out the atlas [TRAP!]
[WHAT?] Blocks hot, but my wrist stay frigid [ICE!]
Feds circle, I dip like a pivot [SKRRT!]
Plug overseas, but the pack domestic [PACK!]
Count blues while my opps stay pathetic [LOSERS!]
Young king, built this with no medic [NO MEDICS!]
[SLATT x4, SLIDE, BRR, WHOO!]Bridge – HALF‑TIME, CHILL MENACE:
No cap, we came from the mud (mud),
Bookbag heavy, but heart stay up (up),
Corner lessons, no principal trust (nah),
One slip, then it’s dust… YOUNG HUSTLA [TWIZZY ON IT, RAH!]Verse 2:
Dawn to dusk, I’m posted, no quit [NO SLEEP!]
[HUH?] opps lurkin’, but they miss every shot [MISS!]
South Philly scrolls, turn grams into knots [KNOTS!]
Designer my uniform, class in the spot [DRIP!]
Loyal circle, no rats in the plot [NO RATS!]
Fed time? I’d rather take shots [POP-POP!]
Hustle DNA, can’t stop what I got [CAN’T STOP!]
[YOUNG HUSTLA x4, IT’S LIT, SLATT, TWIZZY!]Verse 3:
Bricks stack tall like the skyline view [PHILLY!]
[FACTS] young legend, what you gon’ do? [WHAT?]
Opps tweet tough from a safe lil’ booth [PU**Y!]
Pull up ghost, now they quiet, POOF [GONE!]
Cash rules, school was a spoof [WASTED TIME!]
Hustla born, this the ultimate proof [PROOF!]
End the play, crown permanent, WHOO [YOUNG HUSTLA FOREVER!]
[YOUNG HUSTLA x8, WHOO-WHOO, SLATT SLATT, FA NAE NAE GANG!]Outro Hook (fade with ad-libs):
"[YOUNG HUSTLA x4… MOVIN’ WEIGHT… SOUTH PHLLY… WHOO! IT’S LIT!]"
