Hustle For Lagos Street

[Intro]
Obele n’uzo
Na from gutter we dey rise, my gee
Lagos street
Make dem know

[Verse 1]
Morning still dark
Danfo horn loud
Mama shout, “change!”
I dey squeeze inside crowd

Pocket flat
But my brain dey fat
Trek from Mile 2
Reach Ajegunle back

“Bros, how far?”
Na the same old yarn
Landlord dey para
Light still dey drag

I say chill
E go soon align
If hustle no pay today
Na tomorrow e go sign (eh-eh)

[Chorus]
Na we dey hustle for Lagos street (Lagos street)
If you see my grind, you go reason me (reason me)
From dust to crown, we go complete (we go complete)
Obele no dey fall, I dey rise repeat

Na we dey hustle for Lagos street (Lagos street)
If you no get plan, city chop you quick (gbam)
I say “Chukwu gozie” make my hustle click
From Ojuelegba reach Festac Bridge

[Verse 2]
See that boy wey dey push wheelbarrow
Today na labour, tomorrow na Prado
Area say e no fit, e say “tufia”
I ga-esi ike, no dey fear, my guy

POS girl dey under umbrella
Sun dey burn but her smile still tender
Alaye for junction dey blast my jam
Say “Obele, you go soon blow, no scam” (hey!)

I remember
JSS me with one trouser
Now tailor dey beg make I tag am
Life turn, e shock like NEPA

If e red, I go still dey green
I juggle side gig, I dey clean, I dey sing
No be jazz, na discipline
Na so we take shift from grass to win

[Chorus]
Na we dey hustle for Lagos street (Lagos street)
If you see my grind, you go reason me (reason me)
From dust to crown, we go complete (we go complete)
Obele no dey fall, I dey rise repeat

Na we dey hustle for Lagos street (Lagos street)
If you no get mind, traffic bend your will
I say “Chukwu gozie” make my hustle seal
From CMS reach Lekki still

[Bridge]
[Beat drop small, clap and vocal call-and-response]
Who dey here? (we dey here!)
Who dey fear? (we no fear!)
If e hard? (we go dare!)
Top go clear, we go steer

Obele n’eme ka ha juo
“Who be this boy?” ha na akuko
From back seat straight to front row
Ihe anyi choro, we go sow, we go grow (ah-ahn)

[Verse 3]
Bros, check am
Some dey yarn say we too local
But na same street hustle
Turn big global

IG full filter, real life no fine
But I trust wetin I carry for mind
No silver spoon, only pure water nylon
I take am wipe sweat, still dey grind, I dey smile on

Baba for upstairs
Biko, hold my hand
Make I fit carry everybody
When I land

If I chop alone
Na shame be that
Better make all my guys
Dey chop with swag

[Chorus]
Na we dey hustle for Lagos street (Lagos street)
If you see my grind, you go reason me (reason me)
From dust to crown, we go complete (we go complete)
Obele no dey fall, I dey rise repeat

Na we dey hustle for Lagos street (Lagos street)
If you no get plan, city chop you quick (quick)
I say “Chukwu gozie” make my hustle click
From Agege reach Island Bridge

[Outro]
(Obele!)
Anytime you see me for the road, my guy
Just know say grace join the work we try
Lagos no soft, but we still dey fit
Na we, na we
We dey run this street (ah-ahn)
