Mi a do this one fi the real hustler them
Aye Dinero, Aye Dre Skull
Watch ‘ya!
Real thugs
Hustle fi the money
Hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money
You na do nothing for me
Ghetto youths want house pon the hill with big cars and
Sail out pon mi yatch and things
Invite girl pon the block, them piss them skin
And swear them in foreign
Mi wish mi would’ve go me bed go a mi home and sleep one night and rich before morning
Tired fi hear ghetto people balling
When poor knock mi door na let that in
That’s why mi
Hustle fi the money
Hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money
Yeah, yeah we hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money
You na do nothing for me
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)
Yeah, 80 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
I hustle till the death, you ain’t got to question this (Yuugh)
Hustle fi the money
Hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money
Yeah, yeah we hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money
You na do nothing for me
Every ghetto youth fi, turn billionaire
Rich(er) than Chamillionaire
Pounds and Euro talk loud, make a nigga hear
Dollar sign pon mi Benz stick, where you shift the gear
Nothing pon the Earth nuh fi ever [?]
Work hard fi cheese, and mi get that too
‘Cause certain gigs Hotskull na do
No boy can’t play with me like marble
Mi rather stay broke with mi life hardened
Hustle fi the money
Hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money
Yeah, yeah we hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money
You na do nothing for me
The lyrics to Popcaan Ft. Pusha T's "Hustle" are a commentary on the hustle culture of acquiring wealth by any means necessary. The song begins with an acknowledgement of the "real hustlers" and the names of the producers. The chorus, "Hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money, yeah, yeah we hustle fi the money, hustle fi the money, you na do nothing for me," serves as a reminder that in the world of hustling, one must rely on their own effort and not expect help from others.
The first verse speaks to the aspirations of ghetto youths who want to live in luxury with houses on hills, yachts, and foreign girls. The singer, however, recognizes the struggles of the ghetto and wishes for a way out. The second verse focuses on the singer's experiences with the hustle, mentioning the dangers and rewards of the trade. The line "Money counter ding, something every nigga won't" reflects the adrenaline rush that comes with making money, while "Informer sing when them jail cells come to haunt" acknowledges the risks involved.
The final verse continues with the same theme of hustling for wealth and success. The singer encourages others to aspire to become billionaires and not settle for a life of poverty. The line "Mi rather stay broke with mi life hardened" serves as a stark reminder that sometimes the hustle is not successful and that one must be prepared to endure hardship in the pursuit of wealth.
Overall, "Hustle" is a reflection of the struggles and aspirations of those caught in the world of hustling. The song speaks to the urgency of acquiring wealth and the dangers inherent in the process.

Cooking the drugs in a precise manner to make them more potent

A reference to the rapper Chamillionaire, emphasizing surpassing his wealth
Pounds and Euro talk loud, make a nigga hear
Money speaks volumes and is attention-grabbing
Dollar sign pon mi Benz stick, where you shift the gear
Having a Mercedes-Benz with a dollar sign attached to the gearshift
Nothing pon the Earth nuh fi ever [?]
There is no material possession they cannot obtain
Work hard fi cheese, and mi get that too
Working hard to get money and obtaining it
‘Cause certain gigs Hotskull na do
Declining certain opportunities because they don't fit with their image
No boy can’t play with me like marble
No one can take them lightly or manipulate them
Mi rather stay broke with mi life hardened
Preferring to stay poor but with a strong character
