Verse 1)
Alarm clock’s ringing’, I’m up and gone,
Another long day, got to keep moving’ on.
Clocking’ in early, staying’ up late,
Ain’t got time for takin’ no breaks.

(Chorus)
Got a little bit of hustling’ on the side,
Stacking’ up dollars, trying’ to get by.
Working’ these hands ‘til the work is done,
Working on  over time  for that   dollar   ----


(Verse 2)
Sellin’ firewood out of  my  truck,
Fixing’ old bikes just to make a buck.
Playing’ dive bars on a Friday night,
Anything I can to keep the bills light.

(Chorus)
Got a little bit of hustling’ on the side,
Stacking’ up dollars, trying’ to get by.
Working’ these hands ‘til the work is done,
Working on  over time  for that   dollar   ----

(Bridge)
Some folks say, "Boy, slow it down,"
But I ain’t one for sitting’ around.
I’ll rest when I make it, right now I grind,
Gotta keep moving’, got to make that  buck.

(Outro)
Sun goes down, but I’m still awake,
Working’ this life for the dreams I chase.
Ain’t got much, but I sure got pride,
Doing’ what I can—hustling’ on the side.                                                       hustling’ on the side.----------------
