We do it cheap hide our money in a heap
Send it home and make em study
Fixing teeth, I got family, a friend in need
A hand to throw the gasoline
A mobile phone hooked up to the scene
Hello, my friend, yes, it's me
Dont be scared there's somethin going on
Im gettin money since I grown
Could be dash go out and hussel em
But I hate money, 'coz it makes me numb
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
You think its tough now
Come to africa
Out there we are grinding like pepper
You can catch me on the motorway
Selling sugar water and pepper
I rep Africa not Miami
Hustle, hustle with m.i.a
I'm broke, I've got indefinite stay
You can't touch me like leprosy
I hustle tough from here to sri lanka
My mum told me to be an accountant
Bun that I wanna work in a corner shop
Contact sugu he's got the contacts mayne
I'm illegal I don't pay tax, tax
EMA, yes, I'm claiming that that
Police I try to avoid them
They catch me hustling they say "Deport them!"
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
Hello, my friend, hello, my friend
Yes, it's me
4 by 3 ,3 buy 3 , buy 1 song get 1 free
Maybe me, a bootleg cd colour tv or dvd
We got barrels in the sea
Its big enough to take a whole family
We drum on it
Jun, cha, cha, gegujun, cha
Jun, cha, cha, gegujun, cha
Come sit by me, let me tell u we
Don't do bling, but we do white tee
Up some jungle up some tree
One second, my phones ringing
Its my friend habibi
He then went drop called me
Cheap moroccan got no credit than me
Ya'll got less credit than me
I keep that tab at a shop like a gee
'Coz without me there'll be no chocolate hershey
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
