[Verse 1]
We do it cheap, hide our money in the 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
Don't be scared, there's something going on
I'm gettin' money since I grown
Could be dash, go out and hussel 'em
But I hate money 'cause it make me numb
[Verse 2]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 3]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 4]
You think it's tough now? Come to Africa!
You think it's tough now? Come to Africa!
You think it's tough now? Come to Africa!
You think it's tough now? Come to Africa!
You think—
[Verse 5]
Out there, we are grinding like pepper
You can catch me on the motorway
Selling sugar, water, and pepper
I rep Africa not Miami
Hussel, hussel with M.I.A.
I'm broke, I've got indefinite stay
You can't touch me, like leprosy
I hussel though 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!"
[Verse 6]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 7]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 8]
Uh, Afrikan Boy
You know I'm big in Mozambique, hey-ey
[Verse 9]
Hello, my friend, hello, my friend
Hello, my friend, yes, it's me!
Hello, my friend, hello, my friend
Hello, my friend, yes, it's me!
Four by three, three buy three
Buy one song, get one free
Maybe me, a bootleg CD, colour TV, or a DVD
We got barrels in the sea
It's big enough to take a whole family
We drum on it like
Jun cha cha ju gu ju gu cha!
Jun cha cha ju gu ju gu cha!
[Verse 10]
Come sit by me, let me tell you we
Don't do bling, but we do white-tee
Up some jungle, up some tree
One second, my phone's ringing
It's my friend, Habibi
He then went drop, called me
Cheap Moroccan, got no credit than me
Y'all got less credit than me
I keep that tab at a shop like a G
'Cause without me, there'll be no chocolate Hershey!
[Verse 11]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 12]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 13]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 14]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 15]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
[Verse 16]
Hussel, hussel, hussel
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
