Harrison Street Court

 I heard a woman's lips
Speaking to a companion
Say these words:

"A woman what hustles
Never keeps nothin'
For all her hustlin'.
Somebody always gets What she goes on the street for.
If it ain't a pimp It's a bull what gets it.
I been hustlin' now Till I ain't much good any more.
I got nothin' to show for it.
Some man got it all, Every night's hustlin' I ever did.
"
