lauryn hill - world is a hustle lyrics

of the world
spun by evil men with lies
only programmed to agree
with what we see before our eyes
running after status quo
on a television show
just a picture perfect life
it’s the only life we know
and this uncomfortable reality
got me chasing, chasing fallacy
and the pace the pace is killing me
but i so willingly practiced it
just like it’s my friend
when the whole world is a hustle
exactly where did we arrive
in this manufactured life
to sell my soul just to survive (yes)
in the game of numbers
i must thank the gods of industry
oh for the opportunity
or i display such loyalty
oh for the way that they exploit me (yes)
oh to consider life outside of this
just like a splinter in
my mind persists
but the ministry of fear exists
only to keep me from knowing the truth
stealing my youth (oooh)
when the whole world is a hustle
escape familiarity
means that i must face the fear in me
and do something with this greed in me
in order to address this need in me
oh but i must confess
the pride i keep
protecting as if it’s my friend
oh, when will it end?
when the whole world is a hustle
to consider life
outside of this
just like a splinter in
my mind persists.
but the ministry of fear exists
only to keep me from knowing the truth.
and it’s my excuse
when the whole world is a hustle
when it is, when it is.
(instrumental)
oh to escape this mere -n-logy
means i must face the fear in me
and do something with this greed in me
in order to address this need in me
oh but i must confess
the pride i keep
protecting as if it’s my friend
until the bitter end
when the whole of the world is a hustle
everybodys got it going on (yeah right, yeah right)
everybodys so d-mn strong (yeah right, yeah right)
when the whole of the world is a hustle
a hustle (x5)
i must exercise my faith
when the whole world is a hustle
