Hello, Music Lovers on Afritunes
Welcome to AFRI-TUNES WEEK 123
My entry for this week is HUSTLE by Teni.
The song, Hustle talk about the struggle behind success and fame, where some may seems to have it easy, the road to success is mostly covered with tears , criticism, fear and loses, not many where born with silver spoon in their mouth, many had it rough in life , but Living in a Ghetto doesn't mean we should be tout, we all were born with dreams in us, a life without one is meaningless.
Teni finds herself between the life struggles in a mother who criticize her ambition for music and a father who believed in her dream, unfortunately that loving father who believe in her daughters dream met with an untimely death, died in an accident after his car was plunged into the lagoon.
Everything went AWOL for Teni after then, but she caught up with her music career after some months and didn't give up, Her fathers demise couple with the family pressure and the hatred of her mom towards her dream, gave her the motivation to keep moving.
Thank you all for reading through
SONG LYRICS
I wan talk my mind o
For anyone wey fit relate o
Ri-di-mah-kool-a-yooo
Sometimes it feels like success is a trap
And sometimes it feels like people don't understand
Cos the pressure e plenty and expectations high
Even your day ones wey suppose get your back sometimes day ones dey fight
And everybody has an opinion on how you suppose live your life
And even people wey suppose to show you the way na the people dey backbite
No be pride, no be ego
Sometimes I gas change my mind
Sometimes I gas dey behind
Sometimes I will have to say no
Sometimes I gas pour water on top my head
Make this pressure no drive me insane o
So if you see me outside and I no greet you
No vex baba, my head e full o
And baba you know the level
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah, aye aye ah, aye aye ah)
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah, aye aye ah, aye aye ah)
This hustle can be so overwhelming sometimes
No add your own join my own
I gat so many things I dey reason
No bother me o
Wo ni iru pala pala wo gan gan leleyii
Ki lo se t'eni kan o se ri o
Cos family go call, enemy go call
I don't know who is who
No be pride, no be ego
Sometimes I gas stay away
When I have nothing to say
Sometimes I will have to say no
Sometimes I gas pour water on top my head
Make this pressure no drive me insane o
So if you see me for show and I no greet you
No vex baba, my head e full o
And baba you know the level
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah, aye aye ah, aye aye ah)
Na this hustle I dey so
(Aye aye ah, aye aye ah, aye aye ah)
Of course, of course, Them say Teni pompous, yeah
Cos I put myself first
Whoa, they say Teni pompous, yeah
But it's all love, all love, brother, yeah, it's all love
Whoa, it's all love, my brother, it's all love
And I'm good with it
