[Hook] Keep on trying, (Never!)
You can never hold me down (you can’t hold me)
You can never hold me down (Never!) You can never hold me down
[Verse 1]
Forgive me if i catch a case, never had anything on the silver platter
So i’m breaking ufckn bars & plates Everything at stake
When you have nothing to loose, there are no rules, put me in a safe ufckn place
Metal crenulated, serrated, stuck in my rib cage
Rage of a business minded sitting on tills Cos i thought going to church, would let my ufckn fear like birds to quill
Help me sleep better, cos the shit i did was ufckn haunting me
Did cranes crossing, different styles with a lot of women who raunchy But still ufckn felt alone
Ufck with me i stab & leave ur ufkn body prone, my own—
Father, showed me an empty cell Told me if i ufck up, he’ll be the one to throw me there
Tried jacking for beats, until i decided ufck it
Will destroy anything thats gets in my way, the only way i know how to get things? is if i hustle it
Now taste the hunger of Carnage, cos when u were shining elated, i was caught in a ufckn daze
A sleeping awake, stuck in pauperism, cos i was ufckn stupid
Went from selling trees, caps, to ufkn bootlegs How the ufk you think i got the name The-Dynasty?
Same way perpetrators, still get their ufkn amnesty (-ies)
Hustlin

Hustling Championship ring
Hustling Metaphor street king (Hustling)
My mother working in domestic shit, all her life
But I’m at home still Hustlin
[Verse 2]
I’m the type that makes sloanes like Boitumelo Thulo cum, what the ufck do you know about offshore-conundrums?
Double-crossing me; me not finding you thats a pullet thumb, yeah i’m David, & you ufkn Crumb
Get ur ufckn mouth stapled, for talking shit, talking nonsense you can never back up
Get ripped apart like my ufckn Filofax, after a hard day is done No bloods, just 28s and 26s
All love for everyone, rockin’ taylors, all ufckn stars
With one common goal in mind and that’s Hustlin
The-Dynasty, Forgotten-Faces

[Verse 3]
Reappraisals, re-appraisals, like scriptures, you hating on me, thinking i’m gon’ stop
You need to get ur ufckn head read, & tightened with screws, like trying to blind the heedless from the truth
Yeah i’m savage, like my niggas Maksimuz & Truth, more vision than wonder that’s why you a ufkn feeble goose
Cos no matter how you look at it, if you not talking money, & you stepping up to me, you’ll still get ur ufckn ego bruised
That’s why everywhere i go, i handle shit, ‘cos you were never functional, like an obtuse
Learned at a young age, action is the only true measure of intelligence, how a man is measured, with all that he does or do
So reverse ur position kid, i’m back in the streets hustlin, so you better ufckn move
‘Cos what i’m about to do? you niggas have no ufckn clue
This is for my niggas suffering from drug wars, running and jumping walls like parkour
Feeding of last resorts, clutching at straws, rupert in the dorch, mule
Craving so we hunting for money to get our next score, now i’m recording in ritual stores (pause)
We put one thing before anything else and that’s Hustlin
The-Dynasty, Forgotten-Faces
[Hook]
Keep on trying, (never!)
You can never hold me down You can never hold me down (you can’t hold me)
You can never hold me down (you can’t hold me)
C, C, Can’t hold me
Nelson spent 27 years, i have a nigga who i call Mandela, he did the same ‘cos he was hustlin
Keep on trying, You can never hold me down You can never hold me down (hustlin)
You can never hold me down (hustlin) C, C, Can’t hold me
[Verse 4]
How do i stay up? when i’m no stranger to rejection like an alcoholic to sobriety?
How do i do business with the smartest cats around? when at home boys my age are brittled, subject to frailty
Still stuck and caught in the same mentality, like i did once, thinking crime is an answer to poverty
I’m in this game by myself (self), solitary, every now and then, every now and then
You might have seen me with a couple of friends Same ones that was right there, When I had a couple ends, a couple ends
No ufckin’ Benz, still no ufckin’ house
Just a ufckin’ couch, so shut your ufckin’ mouth, Before I zip it up, say ufck rap
And ufck you for thinking i have failure in my blood When i’m an answer to every question, even the ones you afraid to ask
‘Cos no fool is a helpless one, just like no genius can calculate every sum
Not every father can call you son
So next time you see me, i’ll be rockin’ suits and i mean armani ones Still Hustlin’
