Jermaine Coleman, better known by his stage name Maino, is an American rapper from Brooklyn, New York City, New York.
In 2003, Maino was released from prison after a 10 year sentence for a drug related kidnapping. He founded the independent label Hustle Hard and started to record music. In 2005, he was signed to Universal Records and started recording his debut album Death Before Dishonor. However, Maino was dropped from the label and his album was shelved. Maino began hitting the New York streets with mixtapes such as The Hand of God, Brooklyn's Don, Hard Hustle, We Hustle Harder Than You, The Last Real Nigga, Keys to the City, etc. He built a massive buzz until he signed his Hustle Hard label as an imprint on Atlantic Records, and began to release more significant mixtapes such as Maino Is The Future, Black Flag City (The New Religion), etc. Eventually Maino released his debut album, If Tomorrow Comes in 2009 with the 2 successful singles, Hi Hater and All The Above ft. T-Pain. Maino has since released Unstoppable: the Mixtape and Unstoppable: the EP as precursors to his upcoming 2nd album, The Day After Tomorrow, which is due late 2010.

Oh shit, my nigga Home
(What up my nigga)
Maino,What?s up my nigga, aw, shit
You've been gone 10 years nigga, what?s up man
(Yeah, man, you know what it is)
Yo nigga We on nigga Lets get this money, man Straight up man lets get this money
Verse:
What up my nigga
I'm happy that you home
I missed you, let me tell you what?s been going on
Since you've been gone a lot of things changed
We came up getting real money off of 'Cain
Enough shit, whole team eatin? off of drug shit
You like a brother to me, you ain't got to touch shit
Ah, shit, I believe every word you say FAM,
But listen to me though I got a bigger better plan
Look man we can get up in this rap shit
You jokin' right, go 'head with that wack shit
Relax kid, we gotta use tactics
We can get rich, we ain't even got to clap shit.
I'm saying though, but you ain't no rapper, yo (I'm not)
Exactly but none of that matters though
Cause I can fool them, with a little flashy flow
Look, kid, I'm only after dough (I know)
We have to blow, you know why? Cause we goin' give them real shit
Young nigga, Old Nigga, Bet you they goin' feel this
Think about it we already going hard
We gonna start a movement and name it Hustle Hard
Hook:
So what you wanna' do
What you wanna do
I gotta car with a trunk full of money and its all for you
Man, I'm back to life
You welcome home nigga you deserve to be right (Repeat)
Verse 2:

Welcome Home Daddy you deserve to be right (Repeat)
Verse 3:
Have a seat, and no standing in the corridor
Glad to meet you, I?m your parole officer
Says here you?ve had some mishappenins?
Jermaine Coleman, drug related kidnapping
Now look captain, the rules is easy
Every week you gotta come here and see me
Get a job, can?t find one, see me
Gotta test, here?s a cup for you to pee pee
I?m not a friend; I ain?t trying to get to know you
And since you like to hang, here?s a 9 o clock curfew
Trust me, Parole is for real
Act up and Imma put your ass back in jail
I know the drill I wasted half of my life
So what you gonna do to bring a change in your life?
Imma get it right from doing bigger things
Got my mind right, on to million dollar dreams
The song Back to Life by Maino ft Pusha Montana starts with an intro where Maino welcomes Pusha Montana back home after 10 years of being away. Then, in the verse, Maino talks about the things that have changed since Pusha Montana left and how they have made money being involved with drug deals. However, Maino pitches an idea to get into the rap industry and make a lot of money without resorting to violence. He convinces Pusha Montana to join him in starting a movement that they'll call Hustle Hard. The song ends with a conversation between Maino and a woman who is presumably his partner, and finishes with the promise of bigger things to come.
