Ard Adz, J Boy - Wages lyrics

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 kit's to cat on my phone

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
