Omar (오마르, Omar Lye-Fook)는 1990년대 최고의 전성기를 누렸던 브리티쉬 소울의 전설적인 아이콘이자 스티비 원더의 수제자로도 잘 알려진 소울 싱어송라이터로 1968년 영국 캔터베리, 중국계 자메이카인 아버지와 인도계 어머니 사이에서 태어나 밴드 멤버이자 Kongo Records 설립자였던 아버지의 영향으로 어릴 적부터 정식으로 트럼펫, 피아노, 퍼커션 등을 배웠으며, 이후에는 맨체스터와 런던의 음악학교를 다녔다. 그의 가장 잘 알려진 곡 중에 하나인 ‘There's Nothing Like This’으로 데뷔해 1991년 UK싱글차트 14위에까지 오르며 브리티쉬 네오 소울의 갓파더로 불리기 시작한다. Omar의 2집을 듣고 큰 감명을 받은 Stevie Wonder (스티비 원더)는 그에게 연락해 LA로 불러 함께 곡작업을 같이 하게 되면서 스티비 원더의 수제자라는 칭호를 얻게 된다. .... ....
[Common] My eyes watch God from a place Where times is hard, hard times we embrace Everybody want a yard, cuz a yard means space Being broke is odd and leaves an odd taste In the mouth of the metropolitan The hustle is hollarin' Beautiful minds grind, grind for the dollarin' Whether dice scholarin' or white collarin' We all taught hustle to prophet like Solomon The young play corners, Sean Jean modelin' They get it from they momma, black music is fatherin' Blue and whites flash lights like parliment In court non-whites, wishin' they had Cocharan Tell your guy and them, yo the blocks hot again Aunties walking to liquor stores in moccasains My guy got a gig, on the side he barberin' Married a foreign chick so she could get a green card up in the hustle
[Chorus] [Common] Just put it in your back and hustle The paper's stacked so hustle [Omar] Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that [Common] Just move, and shake, and grind and hustle It's on your mind so hustle [Omar] Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that Gon'! - Gon' get it and get me that
[Dart Chillz] First to the third, I'm close to the curb Toast to the bird, now I'm posted to serve Heard is a verb when you pour dirt on the floor Bill collecters and the roaches working your nerves It's a ghetto truck for a ghetto boy To get in them ghetto streets and get him a ghetto toys So he can come so just work murder rate is increasin' I don't give a fuck long as my coke is decent And my rims blind the whole damn precinct Everytime you see a head in my lap you know she sinked I know I'm dead in this trap, that's not how we think Fifty shells all around on the ground, can't catch a weak blink Five went through me, two stayed in me to do my duty Only thing that subdued me Two weeks, same corner, new freaks New geese, all white AND 1's new sneaks
[Chorus]
[DJ Joe Sinista scratches bridge] "Can't knock the hustle!" "The Hustle!" "I'm in" "Im in" "I'm in too deep" "deep to sleep!" "Can't knock the hustle!" "The hustle!" "Caught up in the hustle!" "I'm gettin' high" "Can't knock the hustle!" "The Hustle!" "I'm in" "Im in" "I'm in too deep" "deep to sleep!" "Can't knock the hustle!" "The hustle!" "Gotta hustle up!"

[Common] Some rhyme, some throw shows, some sow clothes Some hobo at the junction inbetween cars Some enter in functions inbetween stars Some teach, some preach saying they seen God Some put they money up, against me odds Flippin' real estate yo, stocks and bonds Dreams of rollin El Derado's bumpin' El DeBarge Whatever the dreams, stay on ya deem the world is ours, its the hustle
Common (talking) phone rang, screen said caller ID said blocked, but for some reason i decided to answer it. on the other end was a french accent. he told me we needed to rap quick, cause he had did some bad shit, and would be gone for years, spending these last two days, with his momma and his kids when he spoke I wasn't trying to hear it ,cause I knew he was a real good person, and this didn't seem like it was in his spirit. he couldnt believe as much as i couldnt, what he done . he said now its time for him to turn himself in. no longer could he run, from life, from God. start thinkin, why is doing right is so hard. I got back to him when we was inLondon discussin the new testament and how our lives related to it, and how we could make the best of it. my voice became destined, so I asked him why you gotta go. he said you know turn to Matthew 24 he said no one knows the hour, nor do they know the day, but the kingdom is near, don't let anything lead you to stray. as long as God is with you, everything will be okay. so right about then,we decided to pray.
