ArrDee: Pandemic

Same old cycle
Been a local pandemic
Kids that's they're sellin'
He ain't got a clue what he's in for
He wanted a bit more, huh

The kid's stuck in the same old cycle
Pebbling, this be the local pandemic
He broke and he grew up in OT
He's tryna be like the kids that they're sellin'
He ain't got a clue what he's in for
Good yute but he just wanted a bit more
There's no riskin' it
Convincing himself no one gets nicked in his town, but
The kid's stuck in the same old cycle
Pebbling, this be the local pandemic
He broke and he grew up in OT
He's tryna be like the kids that they're sellin' (Sellin')
He ain't got a clue what he's in for
Good yute but he just wanted a bit more
There's no riskin' it (Huh)
Convincing himself no one gets nicked in his town

Good child, that's what he used to be (Mad)
He's not used to the life introduced to him (Nah)
But he wants cash, knows how to move a bit
Grabbed a Q, made it turn into two
Now he's feelin' like a boss (Uh)
His schoolmates all feels the kicks he rocks (Uh)
He pulls girls 'cause they think it's fit he shots (Ha)
Ignores Mum, once he leaves the crib, he's off (Gone)
He ain't thinkin' 'bout doin' her proud (Nah)
He thinkin' 'bout food in the house
Or hidin' the food in his mouth
And as his land grew, it got wild (Wild)
He drippin' and steppin' in style
But dippin' and cheffin' man down as he got a bit older (Ah)
'Cause the game is the game and there ain't no respawn, just game over (Game over)
He gets the train over
Yeah, he grew up in OT but he knows his ting, he's got his own plug
Grab the food from London, then go, cause
Link up with other man movin' their own grub, learnin' (Learnin')
But he's losin' the person that he used to be while he's servin'
Started sippin' on codeine, poppin' prescriptions
Even his girl now feels like a victim
Way too in love, feels like she can't ditch him

The kid's stuck in the same old cycle
Pebbling, this be the local pandemic (Pandemic)
He broke and he grew up in OT
He's tryna be like the kids that they're sellin' (Sellin')
He ain't got a clue what he's in for
Good yute but he just wanted a bit more
There's no riskin' it
Convincing himself no one gets nicked in his town, but
The kid's stuck in the same old cycle
Pebbling, this be the local pandemic ('demic)
He broke and he grew up in OT
He's tryna be like the kids that they're sellin' (Like them)
He ain't got a clue what he's in for
Good yute but he just wanted a bit more
There's no riskin' it
Convincing himself no one gets nicked in his town (Nah)

The weight on his shoulders got heavier
Just like the reup, now he ain't a peddler (Shh)
He's shottin' it bait like it's regular
Spottin' the feds but his head was too breaded up (Dumb)
He just caught a cheffin'
So anyone meddle his cellular, he had to wet him up (Wet him up)
The blood had his belly spun, he ain't 'bout violent crime
Was the silent time from his county line town
There ain't no knife crime 'round here
But the guys that he's met are about it
And he's been watchin' how they go about it
He couldn't help it, he wasn't thinkin' (Ah. man)
Now he can't do shit but think about it
On remand, just him, his thoughts, and his cellmate (Hmm)
He ain't bad so he's thinkin' to snitch but that's it if he did
So the kid's in a stalemate
A whole year's gone by, he still ain't been birded
Plus, I missed out the juvenile ones that he served
That's part of the game, whirlwind (Whirlwind)
But the feeling's different when you don't know the verdict
Just a kid from cunch, he was never this person
Now he got two mothers hurtin'

The kid's stuck in the same old cycle
Pebbling, this be the local pandemic ('demic)
He broke and he grew up in OT
He's tryna be like the kids that they're sellin'
He ain't got a clue what he's in for
Good yute but he just wanted a bit more (More)
There's no riskin' it
Convincing himself no one gets nicked in his town, but
The kid's stuck in the same old cycle
Pebbling, this be the local pandemic
He broke and he grew up in OT
He's tryna be like the kids that they're sellin' (Dead)
He ain't got a clue what he's in for
Good yute but he just wanted a bit more (Shh)
There's no riskin' it
Convincing himself no one gets nicked in his town
