Hustled Down In Texas
Struggles and Realizations: Journey Through Southern Blues
Lyrics
You know I hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too
Expressing the experience of hustling in Texas and Chicago.
Well! hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too
Reiterating the hustling experience in Texas and Chicago.
You know wouldn't nobody let me do what I want to do
Frustration about not being allowed to pursue personal desires.
You know I travel 'round in Georgia, I made the southern scene
Describing travels in Georgia, seeking genuine connections.
I traveled 'round in Georgia, I made the southern scene
Continuation of the journey in Georgia, looking for honest friends.
Just trying to find somebody, a friend who's deal was clean
Expressing the challenge of finding trustworthy companions.
Use me for your fool, sign on the dotted line
Warning against being used and manipulated, signing contracts without scrutiny.
Don't ask questions, stupid, 'cause your southern can is mine
Advising against blind obedience, asserting individual ownership.
Hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too, wouldn't nobody let me do what I want to do
Reiteration of the struggle in Texas and Chicago.
Ah baby, don't try jiving me no more
Requesting honesty and sincerity, discouraging deceit.
Ah baby baby, don't try jiving no more
Repeating the plea for truthfulness, rejecting deception.
'Cause I'm hip to your jiving, down the road I go
Declaring awareness of dishonesty and choosing to move forward.
Listen to me people, try to understand, can't get good from evil, so do the best you can
Encouraging understanding, emphasizing the importance of positive actions.
I want to tell you people, please try to understand,
Reiterating the call for comprehension and righteous behavior.
You know you can't get good from evil so do the best you can
Highlighting the principle that goodness cannot come from evil.
You know I hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too
Recalling the challenges faced while hustling in Texas and Chicago.
Yeah, hustled down in Texas, went to Chicago too,
Re-emphasizing the struggles in Texas and Chicago.
Wouldn't nobody let me do what I want to do
Reiteration of the frustration of not being allowed to pursue personal desires.
