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 - 'til it's right in your face 
I'm the hustler - playing my favourite game 
Yeah I'm the hustler - everybody knows my name 
Well I can get all around you - while 
I think you 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 
The're never going to find out - '
Til you way out the door '
Cos I'm the hustler - playing my favourite 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 what's in it 
Loving every minute - every minute every hour 
Every second of the day - little by little 
I see it coming my way 
I'm the hustler - playing my favourite game 
Yeah I'm the hustler - everybody knows my name ©
