Lyrics
[verse]
Used to run these streets like the world was just a game
Never thought a woman gonna make me say her name
But then you walked in slow, like a summer evening breeze
Turned a hardened heart into a man down on his knees
Boys, quiet down for a minute, we got something real to say
The kind of love that finds you when you're chasing something close
I been around the block, seen the fast life come and go
But you the first one ever made me wanna take it slow
[chorus]
This the anthem for the ones who finally found their peace
For the players turned to lovers, for the war that turned to ease
Give it up for the journey, give it up for standing still
Sometimes the greatest hustle is just loving someone real
[verse]
My boys all told me I was crazy settling down
Said a real player never wears a wedding gown of vows
But they ain't seen the way she looks at me at 3 a.m.
Like the whole world makes more sense when I'm right here with them
I traded in the chase for something steadier and true
Turns out the greatest win of all was simply choosing you
No more empty trophies, no more counting up the score
Just a woman and a promise, and I don't need nothing more
[chorus]
This the anthem for the ones who finally found their peace
For the players turned to lovers, for the war that turned to ease
Give it up for the journey, give it up for standing still
Sometimes the greatest hustle is just loving someone real
[bridge]
Every road I traveled led me right back here
Every lonely night just made this moment clear
This the anthem for the ones who learned to stay
Love's the only game that's worth the price you pay
[chorus]
This the anthem for the ones who finally found their peace
For the players turned to lovers, for the war that turned to ease
Give it up for the journey, give it up for standing still
Sometimes the greatest hustle is just loving someone real
