Time to get up - make a move
Put the brain in gear - cut the groove
Moving slow - with a smiling face
Never look like you want it - 'til it's right in your face
I'm the hustler - playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler - everybody knows my name

Well I can get all around you - while I think you stand still
The way you tell me you won't - Let's me know that you will
Last thing you tell them - is what you came here for
The're never going to find out - 'Til you way out the door
'Cos I'm the hustler - playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler - everybody knows my name

You got to love the work you do - how long it takes
Ain't important to you - Don't care what's in it
Loving every minute - every minute every hour
Every second of the day - little by little
I see [bad word] my way
I'm the hustler - playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler - everybody knows my name
