Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah!

Tell em say they gon know

For this hustle
Boyz dey struggle
We wan bubble
Just to get the dough

For this hustle
Boyz dey struggle
We wan bubble
We must get the dough

I'm gonna be a legend
Even if I die today
I don't think about the pain
I just do it anyway
No padi for the jungle
Padi k'oje k'ori pe
No one saw me suffering
Koje tun kin si holiday
Every bars that I drop
I've been preaching motivation
Every mic that I buzz
I've been causing pollination
They served me migraines but
Death wasn't my portion
So I stopped falling in love
Cos heartbreak wasn't my portion
I wanna cater for the fam
But sapa no dey gree
Looking sexy with no raba (money)
I'm tired of the thing
Biko bless my hustle baba
Make i commot for the street
Cos my passion never dies when it comes to music thing

For this hustle (for this hustle)
Boyz dey struggle (boy dey struggle)
We wan bubble (we wan bubble)
Just to get the dough (get the dough oh)

For this hustle (for this hustle)
Boyz dey struggle (boy dey struggle)

We wan bubble (we wan bubble)
We must get the dough
