[Spoken]
*Sigh* Man, yo. Yo, when I was growing up, everybody was tryna put it into my head that I had to be a doctor, a lawyer, work for some, you know, rich white man's corporation to survive, you know what I'm sayin', get up out the hood. But, deep down inside, you know what I mean, I wanted to be like my uncle; my uncle was a hustler, here to flip money, anyway he could to get it, bam bam, you know what I'm sayin'? So as a kid, I ain't really have no interests other than sports, you know what I'm sayin'? Then I got interested in rap, you know what I'm sayin', in my late teens. It's time to bring the raps back to the streets. My name is Freddie Gibbs, and this is my hustle. Yeah!
