Minimum wage
I get by on minimum wage
Keep it low key minimum rage
I am hungry give me my stage
Paying rent that's hard
Store declined my new card
Got eyeballed by the security guard
And that left my self-esteem scarred
Shit no cash for me at the ATM
I was sure there was 10 left think again
Man I shouldn't have bought beers for all of them
Been here before we try to keep it zen
Call up my bro he's broke too that makes two
Got no dough for food so we need to
Get a loan let's ring up the whole crew
Pray to God that someone will come through
Holes in my tracksuit holes in my shoes
Got me singing the broke man's blues
Holes in my hands my hands on the booze
Out here singing the broke man's blues
Minimum wage
I get by on minimum wage
Keep it low key minimum rage
I am hungry give me my stage
Lie to my mum say I'm doing fine
When we talk 'bout rent don't tell her I'm behind
Shit my money spent it's weighing on my mind
I thought I'd made it when the contract signed
If I buy the coat I can't buy the food
Stuck in a dead end might get the boot
See it's me and mine we're looking for the loot
There's no safety chute so we share the fruit
Bags around my socks so my feet don't get wet
Mould in my room getting sick in my bed
Rats in the hallway landlord's a blockhead
Last three meals consisted of corn bread
Freeze my nuts off my coat not rainproof
Situation drives me insane you've
Made your mind up when you were a young youth
No complaining and back to the booth
Minimum wage
I get by on minimum wage
Keep it low key minimum rage
I am hungry give me my stage
We're all fallen angels now the innocence is lost
Children become adults
At least they're told they must
I hold up my middle fingers
Fear I'll lose my trust
All my fantasies they linger
Dream at any cost
Minimum wage
I get by on minimum wage
Keep it low key minimum rage
I am hungry give me my stage
