Lyrics

Hustle gat me high steady grinding for the dough

Hustling has elevated me; consistently working hard for money.

Destination far time is flying no be small

The destination is far, time is passing quickly, it's not an easy journey.

People worship money but we pray to God no be so

While people prioritize money, the speaker emphasizes praying to God.

Tryna chase my dreams Lagos traffic make it slow

Struggling to pursue dreams, hindered by the slow pace of Lagos traffic.


Oh okay they say life is a game so man gats play but all the rules I disobeyed

Life is a game, but the speaker admits to disregarding the rules.

Mercedes Benz splash dirty water for my face inna mi ghetto one day

Reflecting on challenges; a metaphorical splash of dirty water in the face.

I saw myself speeding and I did the same thing for Lagos island one day

Recalling a moment of speeding, possibly breaking rules on Lagos Island.

Charlie what a wrong day

Expressing surprise or regret about a particular day's events.


Hustle gat me high steady grinding for the dough

Repetition of the hustle, destination, money, and dream pursuit themes.

Destination far time is flying no be small

-

Pеople worship money but we pray to God no bе so

-

Tryna chase my dreams Lagos traffic make it slow

-

Hustle gat me high steady grinding for the dough

-

Destination far time is flying no be small

-

People worship money but we pray to God no be so

-

Tryna chase my dreams Lagos traffic make it slow

-

Why do we have to go

Rhetorical questions about life's purpose, rush, and running.

Why do we have to come

-

Why do we have to rush

-

Why do we have to run

-

But I found myself speeding doing 120 on Lekki Epe one day

Narrative of speeding at 120 km/h on Lekki Epe, a moment of rebellion.

No traffic on a Sunday

No traffic on a Sunday, a contrast to the usual Lagos congestion.


Hustle gat me high steady grinding for the dough

Reiteration of the central themes of hustle, time, money, and dream pursuit.

Destination far time is flying no be small

-

People worship money but we pray to God no be so

-

Tryna chase my dreams Lagos traffic make it slow

-

Hustle gat me high steady grinding for the dough

-

Destination far time is flying no be small

-

People worship money but we pray to God no be so

-

Tryna chase my dreams Lagos traffic make it slow
