Hustle
Do The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girls

We are not crazy
Were are not afraid of you grown-ups
We'll go ask the queen of this kingdom
If you won't let us play with screws and hammers

Boys

We are not shady
We are not afraid of you adults
We'll go talk to the king of this kingdom
If you won't let us play with dolls, oh

Now boys play with pink girls at the break
See they're not blindly stuck up with colors

And girls like to run with boys
In a muddy school garden
And pick up frogs and worms
From the generous earth

Girls and boys giggling and sharing
Let them young restless seeds
Choose their own toys
Girls and boys giggling and sharing

We are not crazy
We are not crazy




We are not crazy
We are not crazy

Overall Meaning

The song, "Playground Hustle" by Do The, explores the idea of breaking free from societal gender norms and allowing children to play with whatever toys and engage in any activities they wish, regardless of gender stereotypes. The lyrics are divided between the perspectives of boys and girls who are challenging the restrictions placed on them by adults. The girls assert that they are not afraid of grown-ups and will go ask the queen of the kingdom if they are not allowed to play with tools like screws and hammers. The boys, on the other hand, state that they are not shady and won't be intimidated by adults, and that they'll go talk to the king of the kingdom if they're not allowed to play with dolls.


The lyrics also celebrate the joy of children playing together regardless of their assigned gender roles. The chorus, "Girls and boys giggling and sharing, let them young restless seeds choose their own toys" emphasizes the idea that children should have the freedom to explore their interests and not be limited by gender stereotypes. The line, "See they're not blindly stuck up with colors" challenges the idea that boys should only play with blue and girls should only play with pink. The verse that describes the children running and playing in a muddy school garden and picking up frogs and worms from the earth also highlights the beauty of children's natural curiosity and connection with the world around them.


Overall, "Playground Hustle" is a fierce and empowering song that encourages the breaking down of societal gender norms and allowing children to freely explore and express themselves without limitations.
