Lyrics
HOLLYWOOD HUSTLER
Verse
Shark skin suit
Alligator boots,
Front gold tooth
The Hollywood Hustler
A ladies man
Gold rings on hand
Good men can't stand
The Hollywood Hustler
He's mean and tall
He don't take the fall
I said, Who's on the ball ya'all?
The Hollywood Hustler
Chorus
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler
The man's alright
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler, yeah, yeah
Verse
Break of day
Still in his shades
A hustler made
The Hollywood Hustler
He cracks his grin
And sips his gin
Then trades in skin
The Hollywood Hustler
Two babies home
One on the phone
Say what? 8 women alone?
The Hollywood Hustler
Chorus
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler
The man's alright
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler, plain out of sight
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler, comes out at night
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler, come on baby
Verse
She walks him
Asks where you been
Another woman with him
The Hollywood Hustler
Before I'm through
I'll cut you fool
And kill her too
The Hollywood Hustler
She shoves the steel
Says how's it feel
But that's the deal
The Hollywood Hustler
Chorus
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler
Is he alright?
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler, he lived that life
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler, but lost the fight of the night life
Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood
Hollywood Hustler
The Hollywood Hustler, yeah yeah
