Hussel (Featuring Afrikan Boy) 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 meDon'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 numbHussel, 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 AfricaSee, out there we are grinding like pepper
You can catch me on the motorway
Selling sugar water and pepper
I rep Africa not MiamiHussel, 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 LankaMy 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 themHussel, 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 MozambiqueHello my friend, hello my friend
Hello my friend, yes, it's me
Hello my friend, hello my friend
Hello my friend, yes, it's me4 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 chaCome, 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 ringingIt'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 HersheyHussel, 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?

There are five known artists under this name:

(1) Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, a British alternative dance musician and graphic artist of Tamil descent.
(2) An 80’s American punk/hardcore band
(3) An Argentinian progressive folk collective
(4) An alias of Raphael Merriweathers Jr.
(5) An alias of Michaela Grobelny

(1) Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, (born 18 July 1975 in Hounslow, London, U.K.) is a British artist of Sri Lankan descent. As a baby she moved with her family to their native Sri Lanka, where her father became increasingly politically active in militant activities. As the Civil War escalated the rest of the family was forced to flee as refugees, first to India and then the UK. “M.I.A.” [“Missing In Action”] references both her London neighborhood (Acton) and her politically tumultuous youth.

Her style contains elements of hip-hop, reggae, alternative, dance hall, electro and baile funk and is strongly inspired by her Sri Lankan background.

(2) American Punk/Hardcore band formed in Orange County, CA in 1981 by Chris Moon, drums; Mike Conley, bass; Nick Adams, guitar (all previously of Las Vegas, NV punk band The Swell); and Art Carasco, vocals. Their sound was generally hardcore and thrasher, though they produced more melodic and progressive sounds in their later albums. Allmusic called the band "one of the 50 best So-Cal punk bands of the great early-'80s second wave explosion. In 1984 they signed a deal with the cult Alternative Tentacles label, after the label's founder, Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, saw them play at a secret illegal punk nightclub in Las Vegas. Biafra was impressed by Mike Conley's distinctive voice, saying "The minute you hear a song with him singing you know it's him." They released the album Murder in a Foreign Place on Alternative Tentacles in 1984, followed in 1985 by Notes From the Underground on National Trust Records, and in 1987 by After the Fact on Flipside Records. The band split up in 1988. In 2001, Alternative Tentacles released Lost Boys, a 37-song retrospective of the band's work, including Last Rites, Murder in a Foreign Place, and several additional tracks. On February 28, 2008 vocalist Mike Conley was found dead in a Chicago hotel parking lot. Conley was taken to Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park, where he was pronounced dead at 6:25 a.m. On April 27, 2008, there was a secret warm-up show at Detroit Bar featuring Todd Sampson of Self Abuse and Samson's Army on vocals, Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys on guest vocals, Chris Moon and Larry Pearson on drums, Nick Adams on guitar, and Bob Thomson on bass. The next day, the "Beautiful Noise" benefit show took place at the Anaheim House of Blues with Jigsaw, Naked Soul, Cadillac Tramps, Social Distortion and MIA with the same lineup as the previous night, but adding Kevin Seconds of 7 Seconds on guest vocals. The proceeds of "Beautiful Noise" went to Mike Conley's family.

(3) Formed in the mid 70s, Independent Musicians Associated (MIA) was a group of musicians, technicians and drawers gathered together by Lito and Liliana Vitale’s parents. They produced their own records and concerts in an independent way. Their music is a complex symphonic rock with definite Argentinean/latin folk influence with multiple chorals and vocals beautifully contrasting with the keyboards and a great guitar sound upon a strong rhythmic section. They were highly influenced by symphonic music, more noteworthy by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Gentle Giant and Focus.

(4) Merriweathers is a member of Underground Resistance under the alias of The Unknown Soldier.
