"The Hustler" lyrics

The Hustler

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
Till it's right in your face

I'm the hustler
Playing my favorite game
Yeah, I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name

Well, I can get all around you
While you think I 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
They're never going to find out
Till you way out the door

Yeah, I'm the hustler
And I'm playing my favorite 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 whats in it
Loving every minute
Every minute, every hour
Every second of the day
Little by little
I see it coming my way
Yeah, yeah

Cause I'm the hustler
And I'm playing my favorite game
Yeah, yeah

I'm the hustler
Yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Everybody knows my name

Hustler, yeah
I'm a hustler, yeah
I'm a hustler, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody knows my name
Oh, oh
Ooh, yeah
