Way before these wages, way before these playlists
I was broke for ages blud, them red letter bills them came in
I was waiting impatient, sitting in silence, dodging the bailiffs
I was sitting in stations, hella new cases, hella probations
Way before these wages, way before these playlists
I was broke for ages blud, them red letter bills them came in
I was waiting impatient, sitting in silence, dodging the bailiffs
I was sitting in stations, hella new cases, hella probations
On the block, no savings
Ever been frustrated?
Cah you never got bail when your brother went jail
And your yard got raided
I was upsuh with my brudda, no F's
And my bruddas up top in this ting like Grizz
I was upsuh, just getting so rich
And you ain't getting bread if you ain't taking no risks
Living and learning, .44 long just spinning and turning
Big man's stressed, man's billing and burning
Bruddas in jail just sitting and hurting
What's the silence? Me and bro got lost in violence
I could've went jail but I lost the sirens
It could've been love but we're just dividing
Way before these wages, way before these playlists
I was broke for ages blud, them red letter bills them came in
I was waiting impatient, sitting in silence, dodging the bailiffs
I was sitting in stations, hella new cases, hella probations
Way before these wages, way before these playlists
I was broke for ages blud, them red letter bills them came in
I was waiting impatient, sitting in silence, dodging the bailiffs
I was sitting in stations, hella new cases, hella probations
They don't know what pain is
Ducking these bailiffs, mummy needs papers
Many times I was locked in the station
Saying my prayers, think I need saving
I was jugging and taking, home invasions, running in places
Cold nights, had to meet some strangers
I can't complain cah they cover my wages
Hard times, man I had to get dough
I was thirsty, man I had to get coke
Told bro-bro "Buck it, let's go"
I used to dice down the O then I'd chuck it in hoes
There was times where the boy couldn't cope
Couldn't get me a trim, couldn't cover my smokes
I had to hit the trap on my Joe
Tryna get them kits to cat on my phone
