Late Nights

[Chorus: JJ Esko]
Late nights, early mornings
No alarm clock, up when my phone rings
No sleep for days, selling crack cocaine
Is it love or drugs, I need both things
Late nights, early mornings
No alarm clock, up when my phone rings
No sleep for days, selling crack cocaine
Is it love or drugs, I need both things

[Verse 1: JJ Esko]
Little J was always running up in yards
No money in his pocket but he always had a heart
Had to live a life, didn't know about the meaning
He was holding on guns like he's Tommy Egan
On the block from young, hella pain he been bearing
One older brother and they grew up with no parents
Grew up with pain but nothing weren't the same
Got a whole life, can't see it going down the drain
He got one little nine and shut down blocks
They got a hella pain and ain't on rap that much
Sixteen when he got stabbed in the lungs
He was a miskeen, tryna do right but he's wrong
Got it from the mud, had his mind on O's
When he lost his mum, he was nine years old
He ain't going jail for no runaround P's
Kinda mad, this whole time I was on about me

[Chorus: JJ Esko]
Late nights, early mornings
No alarm clock, up when my phone rings
No sleep for days, selling crack cocaine
Is it love or drugs, I need both things
Late nights, early mornings
No alarm clock, up when my phone rings
No sleep for days, selling crack cocaine
Is it love or drugs, I need both things

[Verse 2: G Bugz]
One boy with one older brother
Had two sisters and one single mother
No pops in his life so the kid had to suffer
Slowly the pain turned him into a nutter
Year seven, the kid started selling
By year eight he started pushing weight
By year nine he had his own line
So by year ten he was out on the grind
He had money on his mind, fuck school, he got kicked out
Teachers couldn't talk to the kid cause he flipped out
Drink in his hand and you know that the spliff loud
Fully on the strip now, getting rid of the bricks now
Oh shit, from a quarter straight to a whole brick
Wherever he goes, he's getting noticed
Qualified badman, they know this
Getting that bread like Hovis
Only ring the runner for when the next load is

[Chorus: JJ Esko]
Late nights, early mornings
No alarm clock, up when my phone rings
No sleep for days, selling crack cocaine
Is it love or drugs, I need both things
Late nights, early mornings
No alarm clock, up when my phone rings
No sleep for days, selling crack cocaine
Is it love or drugs, I need both things
