Lyrics:

M.I.A.:
We do it cheap
Hide our money in a heap
Send it home
And make 'em study fixing teeth

I got a family, a friend in need
A 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 somethin goin on
I'm getting money since I grown
Could be dash, go out and hustle 'em
But I hate money 'cause it makes me numb

Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?
Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?

Afrikan Boy:
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

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

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

My mum told me to be an accountant
But I said I wanna work in a corner shop
Contact Sugu, he's got the contacts, man
I'm illegal, I don't pay tax tax
EMA yes I'm claiming that that
Police, I try to avoid 'em
They catch me hustling, they say deport them

Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?
Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?

M.I.A.:
Hey, Afrikan Boy
You know I'm big in Mozambique
Hey hey

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

Four by three, three by three
Buy one song, get one 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
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 tea
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 that tab at a shop like a G
'Cause without me there'll be no chocolate Hershey

Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?
Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?

Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?
Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?

Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?
Hustle, hustle, hustle
Grind, grind, grind
Why has everyone got hustle on their mind?
