High School Hustle

Intro

(Ayy, yuh) High school hallways, drama every day

Locked and loaded, tryna find my way (skrrt)

Verse

Wake up at six, alarm screamin' loud

Backpack heavy like the weight on my shoulders now

Rivals in the hall, starin' me down cold

Talkin' slick behind my back, actin' all bold

Assignments pilin' up, essays due by three

Teachers breathin' down my neck, no time to breathe

Math class killin' me, grades slippin' fast

Parents on my case, "Boy, make it last!"

Expectations high like the bleachers at the game

Feelin' like a failure, chasin' someone else's name

Cafeteria cliques, tryna slide in smooth

Laughin' fake smiles just to get in the group

Lunchtime beef, words fly like fists in the air

One wrong look and it's war everywhere

Stress got me twisted, head spinnin' 'round

Countin' down the bell, prayin' I don't drown (yuh, yuh)

Chorus

High school hustle, rivals on my tail

Assignments stackin', stress never fail

Tryna get liked, but they switch up quick

Breakups hit hard, leavin' me sick

Discouraged daily, feelin' so low

But I keep pushin', steal the show

High school hustle (hustle, hustle)

Rivals on my tail (tail, tail)

Assignments stackin' (stackin', stackin')

I won't break, I prevail (yuh!)

Verse

Crush on the shorty with the wavy hair flow

Textin' all night, now she ghostin' hello

Breakup texts cold, "It's not you, it's me"

Heart shattered quick, can't even breathe

Friends turn fake when the vibe get tough

Talkin' 'bout me when they know it's rough

Tryna fit in, wear the right gear

But deep down, drownin' in the fear

Discouragements stack like detention slips

Rivals laugh loud while I clench my fists

Promised land feelin' miles away

Hallway wars from Monday to Friday

Expectations crushin', dreams deferred

Word to the wise, this life's absurd

But I grind through the pain, no cap, no lie

Secondary school saga, watch me rise (ayy, skrrt)

Pre-chorus

Nights alone, starin' at the ceilin' fan

Feelin' trapped, need a bigger plan

One more test, one more fight

God, hear me tonight

Bridge

On my knees in the dark room glow

Prayin' to the man upstairs, you know

"Lord, lift this weight, give me strength to fight

Guide my steps through the hallway night

Help me face these rivals, ace these tests

Turn this stress to bless, put my heart at rest

Forgive my doubts, light my way ahead

In this high school hell, keep my head (amen, amen)"

Chorus

High school hustle, rivals on my tail

Assignments stackin', stress never fail

Tryna get liked, but they switch up quick

Breakups hit hard, leavin' me sick

Discouraged daily, feelin' so low

But I keep pushin', steal the show

High school hustle (hustle, hustle)

Rivals on my tail (tail, tail)

Assignments stackin' (stackin', stackin')

I won't break, I prevail (y
