Its late in the evening
The boys all sent home
Her desk lamp is burning
Shes working alone
The screen on her laptop
A glowing matrix
She crunches the numbers
She knows all the tricks.
Its all hustle in the city
No place for fools
If you wanna survive
You’ll need the right tools.
Its mumbai its hustle
All day and all night
U roll with the punches
U just learn to fight
U fight like a tigress
Like a warrior queen
U rule kings and villains
And those in between.
A director rani your weapons are steel
Taking no prisoners you do what you feel
Yet in the twilight
When the city ebbs low
You put down your sword
And look down below.
The peons the coolies
The meek and the slow
The smoke wraiths swirl upwards
They live down below
You know them
You’ve been there
You share their fight
They cheer you on
You carry their light.
Portrayal is so true in the context of competitive corporate rush..The queen bears the flagship keeping one eye on survival strategies and the others far down who too contribute their bit…nice one 😊

Hi partha, thanks for your insight. This was an interesting mix from 2 sources. The first a corporate queen that was in my head. Then the other day I was listening to a bombay rapper called naefzy. He has a song called asli hustle. Check it out u will know what I mean. We are all hustling…keu kom keu beshi.
