#1852 - Hardly Hustling Hard

Posted February 03, 2012 · 06:31 PM

I see you at a bus stop
On a hot summer day
Wearing your scowl
With sunglasses and
A skin tight T-shirt
With cigarettes
Carefully rolled in one sleeve
And one after another
You insert a smoke
Into that perpetual
Scowl

I get your point

You are an early twenty’s
Macho “man”
Who I wonder if you are old enough
To smoke
Yet still young enough to have never shaved
An attractive girl you age
Asks you for a cigarette
Without a word
Or a smile or even a nod
You pass her one
She moves on thanking you anyways

I get your point

You are a real tough boy
With your skull tattoo
That has dollar signs
In the skull’s eyes
And the words
“HUSTLE HARD”
Around the skull
You “HUSTLE HARD”
Yet have to take the bus
With the rest of us
Slobs and losers

I get your point

But I will tell you
From personal experience
One day you will have to
Show an emotion
Or you and your over inflated ego
Will eat you alive
And so will the
“HUSTLE HARD” world
We all live in
Until then just keep on being
An immature, macho brat

I get your point
But at some point
(Hopefully sooner rather than later)
You will have to get mine
