Chorus:
Am DmYet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
Em DmYet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
Am G C FYet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
CBut I can't seem to catch a dime
Em GTake a little hit and I lose the time
 
 
Verse 1:
Am DmI took the man and his horse
And ran before he looked up
Am DmI said the light's gonna change
But I'm calm and feeling warm
Am Dm Am GAnd now I'm sticking out my hands
FAnd feeling weightless again
Am DmYou got to push, got to shove
I've got to eat before they eat me
Am DmGot the crown and the cup
I've got to write to my family
Am DmAnd say, "I'm calm and feeling warm."
Am G Em FI'm not quite there, but I'm close
GAnd it's a world of a difference
 
 
Chorus
 
 
Verse 2:
Am DmI've got the worst all behind me
Yeah they'll never be able to find me
Am DmI'm the king of the city
I'm a roach and they're all primates
Am Dm Am GThis is meal time, real life
FI'm not gonna fight
No, I'm gonna start a war
Am Dm I've been right, I've been wrong
My smokes have come and gone
Am Dm I've been crazy
Been fed enough to not wind up dead
Am Dm And I'm lonely
Am G Em FMy eyes have been closed to the world
G'Cause the world's got nothing for me
