Adian Coker - Blue Collar lyrics

VERSE 1 I used to have Aaliyah and Christina on my posters And Ronan Keating taught me early life's a roller coaster So I'd be on Herbert road with Moses causing palarva Then go back to my uncles for some okra and ca**ava Of late I've been a ghost my friends they say they cannot see me Been balancing my pockets getting fatter but never greedy My introspective nature used to make me overthink But now I never hesitate to throw the kitchen sink Learned the hard way life ain't fair bruh All of the bullsh** had me pulling out my hair bruh But my experiences have made more aware bruh I shrug my shoulders where before I used to care bruh Finger in the air bruh Tryna make it to the finish But where the f** I start I payed my dues, I knew my role I played my part Got soldiers in the field Earning their Purple Hearts But chinua Achebe Told me things fall apart CHORUS They ask me, How you been, I ain't seen you for a minute, where you been, how you living fam, how the family doing, how the team, What's the story, what's the move, what's you saying, what's the motive, keep it real g, how them numbers looking, how's it going How you mean, get that money flip that paper, get them queens, we get that work we get it dirty get it clean, and ima get it till I die by any means, like how you mean VERSE 2 I ended up in foster cause my mother couldn't manage So I was in the field with all the ferales getting savage Been cutting out the extras cause they only bring you baggage That's why I get my doner with no salad only cabbage Them sycophantic friends was always there until they wasn't My Aunty pa**ed away I been looking out for my cousin I grew up thinking God was watching over to protect us But now I'd rather keep a hand of shiva on my necklace That's just how it f**ing goes g Somebody told me that the emperor has no clothes g And there'll be those that wanna celebrate your woes g You getting yours that ain't no skin off of my nose g, friends become foes g Ain't no justice ain't no peace, that's what it f**ing is, I'm getting mine, I'm taking yours I'm snatching his, I see the bigger picture, I got the master plan, plus people always fear, what they don't understand CHORUS They ask me, How you been, I ain't seen you for a minute, where you been, how you living fam, how the family doing, how the team, What's the story, what's the move, what's you saying, what's the motive, keep it real g, how them numbers looking, how's it going How you mean, get that money flip that paper, get them queens, we get that work we get it dirty get it clean, and ima get it till I die by any means, like how you mean
