Hustle Hard , Smoke low

---

Yeah… another track, another sleepless grind.

Headphones on, world off. Let's rewind.

Wake up, check the screen – same numbers, still a flop

Made a banger, but the algorithm acts like I forgot

Upload, wait, refresh, repeat – nonstop

One track gets love, the next one gets the chop

Comment from a clown: "mid" – that's all he wrote

Forty-eight hours awake, I'm chokin' on my own smoke

Laptop glowin', ashtray full, another lonely night

Take a puff to kill the stress, then back into the fight

They say "stay consistent" – so I grind 'til I bleed

Pour my soul in every bar, plantin' every seed

But the harvest is a ghost town, the ground keeps shakin'

One good hit away from breakin' – but I won't be forsaken

HUSTLE HARD, SMOKE LOW – that's the only way (HEY!)

Up for days, tryna find somethin' to say (HEY!)

Every fail, every hit – I'm losin' my mind

Chasin' the perfect sound, leavin' sleep behind (HEY!)

HUSTLE HARD, SMOKE LOW – I won't fade away

'Til I get it right or 'til I fuckin' die (HEY! HEY!)

Fifteen seconds for the kids, then they scroll, they gone

Used to make art, now I manufacture from dusk 'til dawn

Gave up friends, gave up sleep, gave up feelin' sane

For a comment that says "mid" – that's the only fuckin' fame

I get from this obsession – call it hustle, call it curse

Every banger that I bury in the server is a hearse

For the part of me that used to love the music, not the numbers

Now I'm smokin' just to function, watch the industry turn to slumber

"Hey man, when's the last time you went outside?"

I can't remember – my whole world is a screen and a pride.

They don't get the high from a track that really connects...

(Shouted) IT'S BETTER THAN ANY DRUG – BUT THE LOWS? THEY WRECK!

HUSTLE HARD, SMOKE LOW – that's the only way (HEY!)

I'll be in the lab 'til I get it right or 'til I fuckin' die (HEY!)

HUSTLE HARD, SMOKE LOW – I won't fade away

(HEY! HEY! HEY!)

Another joint. Another track. Maybe this one hits. Maybe not. Hustle hard. Smoke low.

(Verzerrtes Piano verklingt, dann Stille)
