When A Wiz A Lad

When a wiz a lad a got intae trouble, 

Kicking aboot wi the wrang kind o people.

Getting involved wi the drink n the drugs,

Smashed oot ma nut wi the local thugs.

No given a fuck what ma parents wid say, 

A always knew better at the end o the day. 

Always involved in a wee bit o crime, 

Never thinking it may lead to jail time. 

Up in the dock wi charges tae stick, 

That’s when a realised a had been a wee prick.

Time for a change it had tae be, 

The next time I’m up it’s a custodial fir me.

 A kick up the arse and a fine a received, 

Escaping the jail a wiz fucking relieved. 

A shit load tae dae to change ma auld ways, 

Praying tae fuck it wiz just a wee phase. 

When a wiz a lad a thought a knew better, 

Until a grew up and realised a wiz just a wee belter.
