lyrics

I was so cold
A lonely man with so many friends
I was a hustler with a means to an end
When they tried to make me realise to late
I wanna redirect my fate
They told me to put my work boots on
Start using what I have inside to move on
And polish my performance yes I will
I'm not standing still
It's a no win situation that I'm in
And the boats capsizing will I sink or swim
When they finally let me out my cage
Could I control my rage

See there's a new school of thinking
Everybody wants me on the register
Another one of those lazy days I've been holed up in drizzly greater Manchester
Not being rude, got the blues for my lady down in Elthorne
If I'm a thorn in her side or if I'm slipping and sliding I'll pay hell for it
It's A OK , if we differ on subjects such as TV shows
But not today, we've got something so public everybody knows

I never went to school
I don't even read the news
But I'm nobodies fool

I just sing the blues and nobody knows my name
I'm not just one of these guys coming with no surprises only looking for fame
But it's alright, that's the life I choose was a fast one
But tonight , this loving I'm givings gonna last long

I was dealt a card
Some say my Daddy was a modern day bard
Still I find this shit so hard

I gotta' keep on, I'll be dancing 'till the cats come home
And I'll be walking down this road till they tell me that it doesn't lead to Rome
It's all good, I'll be remembering my time spent here
And I wish she would see my old lady well she better shed a tear

I will break the rules
I will sell your gold as fools
Still I got all the moves
I'm a hustler

[outro]

Damn right I'm a hustler

I'm a hustler yeah I'm a lead you down I'm a hustler
