“Circle got smaller everybody can’t go”
Lyrics from lead song in “Victory Lap” album
Hussle was 32 years old when he dropped his first studio album — an age almost unheard of in hip-hop firsts. Jay-Z was 26. In a line from the lead song on the album “Victory Lap,” Hussle acknowledged that not everyone would see eye-to-eye with him.
“Because he’s so transparent, it allows us into the mindset of a boss,” Spencer Pullen wrote in KultureHub, which broke down the philosophy behind Hussle’s lyrics. “We are able to apply his message to our own battles and upheavals we face in our lives. On the road to success, not everyone is going to see your vision. Not everyone is going to believe in your dreams. Let the doubters keep sleeping. Regardless of any obstacle thrown your way, you are the type to go get it. Keep running your marathon.”
