Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For anyone wey fit relate o
Ri di mah kool a yooo
Sometimes it feels like success is a trap
And sometimes it feels like people don’t understand
Cos the pressure e plenty and expectations high
Even your day ones wey suppose get your back
And everybody has an opinion
On how you suppose live your life
And even people wey suppose to show you the way
Na the people dey backbite
No be pride no be ego
Sometimes I gas change my mind
Sometimes I gas dey behind
Sometimes I will have to say no
Sometimes I gas pour water on top my head
Make this pressure no drive me insane o
So if you see me outside and I no greet you
No vex baba my head e full o
And baba you know the level
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah aye aye ah aye aye ah)
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah aye aye ah aye aye ah)
This hustle can be so overwhelming sometimes
No add your own join my own
I gat so many things I dey reason
No bother me o
Wo ni iru pala pala wo gan gan l'eleyi
Ki lo se t'enikan o se ri o
Cos family go call enemy go call
I don’t know who is who
No be pride no be ego
Sometimes I gas stay away
When I have nothing to say
Sometimes I will have to say no
Sometimes I gas pour water on top my head
Make this pressure no drive me insane o
So if you see me for show and I no greet you
No vex baba my head e full o
And baba you know the level
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah aye aye ah aye aye ah)
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah aye aye ah aye aye ah)
Of course of course them say Teni pompous yeah
Cos I put myself first
Whoa they say Teni pompous yeah
But it’s all love all love brother yeah it’s all love
Whoa it’s all love my brother it’s all love
And I’m good with it
The song "Hustle" by Teni is about the challenges and pressures people face while pursuing success. The lyrics talk about how success can be a trap and how people's expectations can become very high. Even those who once had your back might fight you because of the pressure. Moreover, the pressure can drive one insane and make them do things they never thought possible. Sometimes it feels like family and friends turn against you, and it's hard to determine who Is who. The lyrics demonstrate the struggles of trying to be successful and the need to push through despite the difficulties.
Teni also explains how she doesn't have any pride or ego, and sometimes she has to change her mind or stay away from situations that may not help her achieve her goals. Furthermore, Teni mentions that she pours water on her head to calm herself down when feeling overwhelmed by the pressure. In addition, she sends a message in the lyrics that if she doesn't greet someone outside, they should not take it personally because her head is full.
Overall, "Hustle" emphasizes that even when success seems impossible, the pressure is high, and people turn against you, you must keep hustling to achieve your goals. The song is inspiring and relatable to everyone trying to achieve a level of success in their lives.
