“We hustle out of a sense of hopelessness, sort of a desperation. Through that desperation, we become addicted. But we feel we have nothing to lose, so we offer you, well, we offer our lives. What do you bring to the table?”

Simplified Meaning:

People often work very hard because they feel desperate and have no hope. This feeling makes them keep working all the time. They think they have nothing to lose, so they are willing to give everything, even their lives. They want to know what you can give in return.
