Aye hear me a say ('traight)
Da one'ya ah fi di real hustla dem
Aye Dinero, aye Dre Skull

Yeah, yeah we hustle fi di money, hustle fi di money

Ghetto yute waan' house pon di hill with big cars and
Sail out pon mi yatch and ting
Invite girl pon di block, dem piss dem skin
And swear dem in foreign

Tired fi hear ghetto people bawling
When poor knock mi door, nah let that in

Dinero, hustle fi di money, hustle fi di money
Nah do nuttin' funny, 'traight (Push)

Sitting at the table, connect like the cable guy
Gloves on, trying not to catch a table high
Men lie, women lie, numbers don't
Money counter ding, something every nigga won't
Mac-11 ring, what you niggas never want
Informer sing when them jail cells come to haunt, yuugh
Eighty kilos every month
Every bitch I ever wanted
Every level watch em stuntin'
The avatar blue-faced Prezi on his wrist
The proof that it's blue magic within every brick
The heat from the blue flame cook it as I mix

Dollar sign pon mi Benz stick, weh ah shift the gear
Nothing pon di Earth nuh fi ever dear
Work hard fi cheese, and me get that too
'Cause certain gigs, Hotskull nah do
No boy can't play with me like marble
Me rather stay broke with mi life hardened

Thugs hustle fi di money

Yeah, yeah we hustle fi di money, hustle fi di money
Nah do nuttin' funny

(Hustle, hustle)
