    Natural Born Hustler’ by Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal is a collection of timeless songs slated to last through the decades. In an age where artists get caught up with keeping up with the times and fitting into the conversation, Hoyer and his musical cohorts make music for grown folks with their authentic, real, and honest songwriting. Produced by Color Red founder Eddie Roberts, ‘Natural Born Hustler’ speaks to fans of early 70s funky blues, doo-wop with a modern twist, and spellbinding psychedelic soul. From start to finish, each song breathes a life of its own into the record and it is evident that Hoyer’s spirited fanbase and eclectic palette of sounds are not confined by age, upbringing, religion, creed, or differences—they are meant for anyone who seeks the medicine of music.

lyrics

Brother she don't - she don't need you.
Better be cool with how you define what it takes to be you.
As you head down that lonely road.
Realize you've got no home.
Take the time to truly find what it takes to free you.
You gave it all that you had - Tried to balance the taking.
But even mountains collapse when the ground starts to shaking.
So take your time - Get off your knees.
As the rivers rise, you gotta trust what you see.
Brother she don't - she don't need you.
Better be cool with how you define what it takes to free you.
Just like time's been etched in stone - Every life ends up in bones.
Take the time to truly find what it takes to be you.
See it's a reckoning - A chance to right your path.
It seems like the night always will last.
Relax your mind baby - Get off your knees.
Get your time, oh baby, baby please.
Brother she don't - she don't need you.
Better be cool with how you define what it takes to free you.
As you head down that lonely road - Realize you got no home.
It's like time's been etched in stone - Every life ends up in bones.
Take your time.
Take it. Take your time.
