Yeah
I'ma do what I gotta do
I've been working all afternoon
Hit the store, get some alcohol
Hit up my weed man, for a score
People, plenty wey be say they hustle for money
Monday to Sunday
And we'll have a party, we'll have a good time
Even girl affi grind and stack
How you think she lookin' nice like that?
She's mine if she makes eye contact
Fresh kicks, still got the price on that
Everybody watch me like man some star
Big bunda babe in Manchester
Gyaldem churpsin, man like rah
Ya dun kno', she's a gang member
She know the squad, she know the crew
From long time, it's been overdue
From across the room, I noticed you
And out of all these girls, I've chosen you
She know the squad, she know the crew
From long time, it's been overdue
From across the room, I noticed you
And out of all these girls, I've chosen you
Yeah
I've been doing what I gotta do
I've been working all afternoon
Hit the store, get some alcohol
Hit up my weed man, for a score
People, plenty wey be say they hustle for money
Monday to Sunday
Bring your problems and I'll bring my drugs
And we'll have a party, we'll have a good time
Well let me get a private one
Thought she was soft, she's a violent one
Baby girl, you're too feisty, that's cool by me
But can you handle a dude like me?
Roll up in somethin' trendy
I'm so ugly that I'm sexy
And I'm silent and deadly
But I still wanna get friendly
She know the squad, she know the crew
From long time, it's been overdue
From across the room, I noticed you
And out of all these girls, I've chosen you
She know the squad, she know the crew
From long time, it's been overdue
From across the room, I noticed you
And out of all these girls, I've chosen you
Yeah

I've been working all afternoon
Hit the store, get some alcohol
Hit up my weed man, for a score
People, plenty wey be say they hustle for money

Bring your problems and I'll bring my drugs
And we'll have a party, we'll have a good time
Bring your problems and I'll bring my drugs
And we'll have a party, we'll have a good time
In "Good Time" by J Hus, the song's narrator describes his lifestyle of working hard and playing hard, spending his afternoons and evenings hitting up his weed man and purchasing alcohol in order to have a good time. He understands that people often hustle for money and is willing to share his drugs in order to have a party. The song also references the attraction between the singer and a girl who he's had his eye on for a while. Despite the fact that she seems to be part of a gang and has a tough exterior, he finds her alluring and wants to get closer to her.
The lyrics of "Good Time" demonstrate the hedonistic mindset of many young people today. The song highlights the pursuit of pleasure through the use of drugs and partying, which can be seen as a coping mechanism to deal with the stresses and difficulties of everyday life. Additionally, the song's narrator seems to be caught up in the materialistic and superficial aspects of his lifestyle, admiring the girl's expensive clothing and talking about his own trendy car. However, despite these themes, the song's upbeat and catchy melody make it an enjoyable and fun song to listen to.
