    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Hustler, word, I pull the trigger long
    Grit my teeth, spray till every nigga's gone
    Got my block sewn, armored dope spots
    Last thing I sweat's a sucka punk cop
    Move like a king when I roll, hops
    You try to flex, bang, another nigga drops
    You gotta deal with this cause there's no way out
    Why? Cash money ain't never gonna play out
    I got nothin to lose, much to gain
    In my brain, I got a capitalist migraine
    I gotta get paid tonight, you muthafuckin right
    Pickin' my grip, check my bitch, keep my game tight
    So many hoes on my jock, think I'm a movie star
    Nineteen, I got a fifty thousand dollar car
    Go to school, I ain't goin for it
    Kiss my ass, bust the cap on the Moet
    Cause I don't wanna hear that crap
    Why? I'd rather be a New Jack... Hustler
    [Chorus]
    Hustler
    Hustler
    Hustler
    H-U-S-T-L-E-R hustler
    [Interlude: Kid drop in]
    Yo man you know what I'm sayin?
    You got it goin on my man, I like how it's goin down
    You got the fly cars, the girls, the jewels
    Look at that ring right there
    I know it's real, it's gotta be real
    Man, you the flyest nigga I seen in my life!
    Yo man, I just wanna roll with you man
    How can I be down?
    [Verse 2: Ice-T]
    What's up? You say you wanna be down?
    Ease back, or motherfucker get beat down
    Out my face, fool I'm the illest
    Bulletproof, I die harder than Bruce Willis
    Got my crew in effect, I bought em new Jags
    So much cash, gotta keep it in Hefty bags
    All I think about is keys and Gs
    Imagine that, me workin at Mickey D's (ha ha ha ha)
    That's a joke cause I'm never gonna be broke
    When I die there'll be bullets and gun smoke
    Ya don't like my lifestyle? Fuck you!
    I'm rollin with the New Jack crew
    And I'm a hustler
    [Chorus]
    H-U-S-T-L-E-R hustler
    New Jack, New Jack..........
    [Verse 3: Ice-T]
    Here I come, so you better break North
    As I stride, my gold chains glide back and forth
    I care nothing 'bout you, and that's evident
    All I love's my dope and dead presidents
    Sound crazy? Well it isn't
    The ends justifies the means, that's the system
    I learned that in school then I dropped out
    Hit the streets, checked a grip, and now I got clout
    I had nothing, and I wanted it
    You had everything, and you flaunted it
    Turned the needy into the greedy
    With cocaine, my success came speedy
    Got me twisted, jammed into a paradox
    Every dollar I get, another brother drops
    Maybe that's the plan, and I don't understand
    God damn----you got me sinkin in quicksand
    But since I don't know, and I ain't never learned
    I gotta get paid, I got money to earn
    With my posse, out on the ave
    Bump my sounds, crack a forty and laugh
    Cool out and watch my new Benz gleam
    Is this a nightmare? Or the American dream?
    So think twice if you're coming down my block
    You wanna journey through hell? Well shit gets hot
    Pregnant teens, children's screams
    Life is weighed on the scales of a triple beam
    You don't come here much, and ya better not
    Wrong move (bang), ambulance cot
    I gotta get more money than you got
    So what, if some motherfucker gets shot?
    That's how the game is played
    Another brother slayed, the wound is deep
    But they're givin us a band aid
    My education's low but I got long dough
    I'm raised like a pit bull, my heart pumps nitro
    Sleep on silk, lie like a politician
    My Uzi's my best friend, cold as a mortician
    Lock me up, it's genocidal catastrophe
    There'll be another one after me!
    A hustler, hustler
    [Chorus]
    H-U-S-T-L-E-R hustler
    New Jack, New Jack......

      Born in 1970, in South Wales in the UK. I was into punk, metal and was playing drums at 17. I came across Public Enemy and Ice-T not long after. I started playing Hip-Hop beats along with mostly Thrash Metal and any genre of punk but those Hip-Hop beats really put some groove into my style.
      Absolutely delighted to catch PE, ICE-T AND BODY COUNT on the same line up at an outside festival. Superb.

      It’s a track with several really good lines. But, I agree with you. That line is absolutely crushing. Ice-T knew it, too. That is why he puts to so late in the rhyme, but not at the end. It’s kind of the center of the whole track. Also, right at the end of the line, he drops the instrumental and you just get his voice pumping “…life is weighed on the scale of a triple beam.” He is pushing your attention into the prose, which makes the whole line more powerful.
      Also, with reference to the other comment, this was put out in 1991. Back then, a moderate precision electronic balance was several thousand dollars and only found in science labs. You couldn’t buy them, just as a citizen off Amazon or something. Every science classroom that had one also had them chained down to deter theft. I wasn’t in the drug trade, but I was in many chemistry classrooms. The effort we had to go to, chaining the balances down in a separate room that was usually kept locked and unmarked…my impression was, there was a pretty significant demand for those balances.
      So, if you didn’t have one, the only thing you could use was a triple-beam balance. By the time Ice-T is putting this album together…is he still actively involved in the drug trade? Probably not, or not much. His experience was likely mostly from some time in the 80s. Back then, personal computers were uncommon, and electronic devices of any kind were usually shoddy gimmicks or toys.
      So…yeah, the reference to a triple-beam balance is spot on.

He has only gotten richer the older he gets and he quit rapping 20 some of years ago...he has developed other ways to make money and keep climbing to the top ...ice t is the walking definition of a hustler I got nothing but respect for the man.

    Ice T always dropped PURE jewels of wisdom/street survival technique. He's the difference between a selfish scumbag who will lead young kids wrong and into a life that will either land them in prison, or in the ground, and an older, wiser street dude who has walked the walk, knows the temptations of the street, but quietly encourages younger kids to take a good look around and think for themselves, HAVE dreams, HAVE ambitions, HAVE a survival plan, and focus hard on them, or eventually the street WILL get them. Ice is and has always been the latter.💯 Solid brother who deserves all the success he's worked for.🤛

And then there's that crazy ass beat. It's a beat yo ass beat. A metal roller-coaster through the entire drug game. Yall excuse me but this song and me go way back.

    the BEST ice T track. excellent flow and raps, and the way he grills that kid on the second verse is hilarious, the kids face is priceless. you know your flexing legacy status when iron mike has a cameo in your video.

    I don't know if Ice won a Grammy for this one but he should have . I love blasting this hit!! " I rage like a Pitbull, my heart pumps Nitro!"
