The tribal hustle
Blood diamond poodle
Survival struggle
from Nas (Ft. Damian Marley & K'naan) – Tribes At War Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
The actions of England and America, capitalizing on nation’s conflicts is rightfully labelled a tribal hustle, they scramble, manipulate, invade, and take their cut, all things that lead to the natives being slaughtered one way or another (Blood diamond puddle), and it’s literally survival on another level for Africans dealing with conflict in their nation that’s being encouraged by Western influence.
