Chorus:
Dm
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
Dm
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
F

Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
  C
But I can't seem to catch a dime
G
Take a little hit and I lose the time

Verse 1:
      Dm
I took the man and his horse
And ran before he looked up
      Dm
I said the light's gonna change
But I'm calm and feeling warm
      G
And now I'm sticking out my hands
      F
And feeling weightless again
      Dm
You got to push, got to shove
I've got to eat before they eat me
    Dm
Got the crown and the cup
I've got to write to my family
       Dm
And say, "I'm calm and feeling warm."
  F
I'm not quite there, but I'm close
             G
And it's a world of a difference


Chorus


Verse 2:
       Dm
I've got the worst all behind me
Yeah they'll never be able to find me
    Dm
I'm the king of the city
I'm a roach and they're all primates
    G
This is meal time, real life
     F
I'm not gonna fight
No, I'm gonna start a war
Dm
 I've been right, I've been wrong
My smokes have come and gone
Dm
 I've been crazy
Been fed enough to not wind up dead
Dm
 And I'm lonely
  F
My eyes have been closed to the world
                G
'Cause the world's got nothing for me


Chorus (x2)


Instrumental: G


Ending:
Dm
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
G
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
G
