This song recounts Guvna B’s childhood, where he made money however he could and how he saw money as his idol.
The subtitle is a nod to the Only Fools and Horses character Del Boy, a shady businessman who will do anything to make money.
[Hook:]
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1:]
Yeah, got the vibe now
Back den all my dargs used to ride out
I was at yard in my hideout
Get rich quick scheme on my mind now
I thought by now I would have the lifestyle
Big mansion, big ice, big creps, big life, big jets, big ride
Big black Lambo sitting in my drive, proud
I was raised better
My dad said "Son don't chase cheddar
Chase purpose, the reason is way better", true
But I remember the day when I
Saw Joe pulled up in the coupe
It was looking too sick, I’m tryna get one too
And it’s true that I might not need it
But I’m the Black Del Boy too greedy
[Hook:]
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2:]
An' now I got it
Straight Terry Crews with the profits
And now I’m honest
I’m tryna tell my crew watch your wallet
My young G was bagging up class A, he’s in a cell now living life blasé
He was chasing the credit in the fast lane
He said "Guvvy I regret it cah my past ain't great"
I said "Brother me either"
Fake Air Max 90s street dealer (joke ting)
I thought the money would have made me
All it did was change me
Had me moving crazy
Living life to impress people that I didn't like
Dad was like "Give him time, soon see a different side"
I used to slip and slide, now I’m on a different vibe
[Hook:]
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3:]
My view of success in the hood was
Who had the best car and who had the
Air Max 97’s, the black ones, and who had respect
And my view of success in the hood was
Who had all the girls and who had all the cash in the world
Even if they did bad stuff to get it
Now my view of success is who does the best
With what God has blessed them with and
Is content with all of the things that life could ever bring
And my view of success is to dream as big as you can dream but to never compare yourself with anyone 'cos God has plans for you
[Hook:]
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
"Daddy where you been?"
Grindin'
Yeah, yeah
