Life Is A Hustle by POETIK Lyrics
[Intro: POETIK]
We got 'dro, we got blood
Got Vailima in your cup
Apia City, that's for sure
And we rollin' (rollin'), man
Don't need no drama, please
Stay off these N-U-T's
I'm just finna get lifted
On the West Coast, finna get twisted
[Verse 1: POETIK]
I'm feelin' good in my own skin, still the same uce rollin'
From Samoa to the world, kept the mic smokin'
Apia City posted on every platform
Do it for the ville, my uce, that's no question
Don't gotta get your weight up before you start flexin'
Gotta keep your chin in check before it gets checked on
Raised on the streets, seawalls I slept on
When I leave the building, motherfucker, that's a threat gone
But I be back like a cancer or a tumour
You heard I was the shit, real talk, it's not a rumour
I ain't up the day, man, I don't know the Migos
But I know where we go, everything moves when we go
I guess it's 'cause my people are still on the come-up
Life is a hustle when you came from the gutter
Hamofied Polynesian with the braids and khakis
Never been funded, rockin' out my own pockets
Now you hear me on the radio, I bet your girl, cousins checkin' out my video
It's like that, uso, when the game gassin'
Independent hustlin', 6-Eighty-5, we on, we on
[Chorus: POETIK]
We got 'dro, we got blood
Got Vailima in your cup
Apia City, that's for sure
And we rollin' (rollin'), man
Don't need no drama, please
Stay off these N-U-T's
I'm just finna get lifted
On the West Coast, finna get twisted
[Verse 2: Tha Uso KD]
Life lookin' wicked with my third eye twitchin'
Smile still crooked, writin' rhymes out the booklet
Village boy caught up with that hip-hop anthem
Anybody can get it like [?] or carcinoma
Me no casanova, just a slice of pavlova
[?] Vailima singin' "here, lova lova"
It's [?] when that flow precise
Let me radiate the spot with dreams of clutchin' that mic
They say that sky be the limit, so I flew in safe
I heard that time is up the essence, so we grew up quick
This for the ville when we roll, uso, that's the pay
[?] an uso to a [?] up and over the days, for real
[?]
This for my Polynesian people makin' moves for a better livin'
6-Eighty-5 to them all-white clouds
South side of [?] City, catch us toastin' off the West Side
[Chorus: POETIK]
We got 'dro, we got blood
Got Vailima in your cup
Apia City, that's for sure
And we rollin' (rollin'), man
Don't need no drama, please
Stay off these N-U-T's
I'm just finna get lifted
On the West Coast, finna get twisted
[Verse 3: Zeek Uc]
California livin', O.C. to be specific
O.G. in the swisher, got it for the lowest ticket
They love me in these streets, I'm consistent
You can call me Zeek, I'm unique, oh so different
Remain loaded like a strap when you pack the clip
Then stay solid through the rain and the bad positions
Only thing changed is we at six figures
Just a man on a mission who got mad ambition
Rappers, no competition like we at a scrimmage
Never needed rap money, we've been out here gettin' it
Got the plan mapped out till we stackin' millions
Do this for the whole fam' and my children's children's kids
Real ones listenin' like "Yeah, I'm feelin' this"
Lost an uso, became an addict instead of dealin' it
Lowkey wit' it, we at the top of the pyramid
Haters mad, burnin' bridges, we just out here buildin' it
Me, K.D. and Poetik stay connected
Samoa, Auckland City, West Coast representin'
One love to people out in the South Pacific
Grindin', really have time to lounge around and get dressed, let's get it
[Chorus: POETIK]
We got 'dro, we got blood
Got Vailima in your cup
Apia City, that's for sure
And we rollin' (rollin'), man
Don't need no drama, please
Stay off these N-U-T's
I'm just finna get lifted
On the West Coast, finna get twisted
We got 'dro, we got blood
Got Vailima in your cup
Apia City, that's for sure
And we rollin' (rollin'), man
Don't need no drama, please
Stay off these N-U-T's
I'm just finna get lifted
On the West Coast, finna get twisted
[Verse 1: POETIK]
