M.I.A. - Hussel Lyrics

We do it cheap, hide our money in a heap
Send it home and make 'em study, fixing teeth
I got family, a friend in need, hand to throw the gasoline
A mobile phone hooked up to the scene
Hello my friend, yes, it's me

Don't be scared, there's something going on
I'm getting money since I grown
Could be dash, go out and hussel 'em
But I hate money 'coz it makes me numb

Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

You think it's tough now, come to Africa
You think it's tough now, come to Africa
You think it's tough now, come to Africa
You think it's tough now, come to Africa

See, out there we are grinding like pepper
You can catch me on the motorway
Selling sugar water and pepper
I rep Africa not Miami

Hussel, hussel with M.I.A.
I'm broke, I've got indefinite stay
You can't touch me like leprosy
I hussel head from here to Sri Lanka

My mum told me to be an accountant
Bun that, I wanna work in a corner shop
Contact Sugu, he's got the contacts, mayne
I'm illegal, I don't pay tax, tax

EMA, yes, I'm claiming that that
Police I try to avoid them
They catch me husseling they say deport them

Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

Hey, African boy
You know I'm big in Mozambique

Hello my friend, hello my friend
Hello my friend, yes, it's me
Hello my friend, hello my friend
Hello my friend, yes, it's me

4 by 3, 3 buy 3, buy 1 song, get 1 free
Maybe me, a bootleg CD, colour TV or a DVD
We got barrels in the sea
It's big enough to take a whole family, we drum on it
Ja jun cha cha gegujun cha, jun cha cha gegujun cha

Come, sit by me, let me tell you we
Don't do bling but we do white tee
Up some jungle, up some tree
One second, my phone's ringing

It's my friend Habibi, he then went drop called me
Cheap Moroccan got no credit than me
Y'all got less credit than me
I keep back tab at a shop like a gee
'Coz without me there'll be no choco Hershey

Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
Hussel, hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?
