Hide & Seek

TSB

The day that they met's like the day Tom met Jerry
Only out of his hole for the cheddar
Whether he knows if the coast is steady
Ready, one eye on the road like Fetty
First encounter, dumb, was a yout
While under pursuit, he was only 11
Like "Get him", he stole with his bredrin
They asked him his name and he told them "It's Kevin"

Bright-eyed copper, most likely his wifey divorce
No more than a fortnight on the force
Young lad, undergrad, had a like for the law
But he saw somethin' about Kevin
He saw a cold look in his eyes, while bookin' this guy
Like why I ain't tellin'
In his mind he indicted a felon

Every day is like hide and seek
If I lock down two in the mornin'
Tell me by night why I see three
Dottin' and crossin' the I's and T's
I know you couldn't hide from me most of your lives and it's fine by me
If you do time for the rest of your life, know it's fine by me

Same game, play hide and seek
If I just shot two packs on the sides
Someone tell me, why all the eyes on me?
True say, got the nine on me
If you lot wastin' your time tryna find me, it's fine by me
And if you lot end up losin' your lives, then it's fine by me

It's fine, it's fine, I said times been flyin' by
Little old Kevin just turned 21
But the same old trouble's been right behind
So preoccupied with grind and hustle
Fight and tussle
A very thin line from a night of cuddle
To stuck in the trunk with knife and shovel

So why they puzzled? It's all routine
They clock us shottin', they called police
Ain't no drill when the feds all sweep
The pain don't kill, we just get more fiends
We play our roles, let them boys play theirs
But don't play fair, like "Oh, say swear"
In holding cells, tryna hold in fear
I scream "Fuck you!" and I hope they hear, yeah

Every day is like hide and seek
If I lock down two in the mornin'
Tell me by night why I see three
Dottin' and crossin' the I's and T's
I know you couldn't hide from me most of your lives, and it's fine by me
If you do time for the rest of your life, know it's fine by me

Same game, play hide and seek
If I just shot two packs on the sides
Someone tell me, why all the eyes on me?
True say, got the nine on me
If you lot wastin' your time tryna find me, it's fine by me
And if you lot end up losin' your lives, then it's fine by me

Ridin' around tryna see who's it
Who's up? Who's lit?
Three man up in an unmarked whip
If I count to ten, watch 'em duck and dip
Skrrt, crash, step out the vehicle
What the fuck are you here for?
Arm of the law tell 'em all "Be careful"
Anybody moves then his arm goes airborne

With his arms in the air, Kev got out the car with his breh
But left somethin' shiny and sharp in the chair
Rare, you could tell he's sweatin'
The fed looked deep in his eyes
Like he recognized from the first encounter
That stop and search was the first in hours
We hid well, but the urges found us

Every day is like hide and seek
If I lock down two in the mornin'
Tell me by night why I see three
Dottin' and crossin' the I's and T's
I know you couldn't hide from me most of your lives, and it's fine by me
If you do time for the rest of your life, know it's fine by me

Same game, play hide and seek
If I just shot two packs on the sides
Someone tell me, why all the eyes on me?
True say, got the nine on me
If you lot wastin' your time tryna find me, it's fine by me
And if you lot end up losin' your lives, then it's fine by me

Every day is like hide and seek

Dottin' and crossin' the I's and T's

If you do time for the rest of your life, know it's fine by me

Same game, play hide and seek

True say, got the nine on me
If you lot wastin' your time tryna find me, it's fine by me
And if you lot end up losin' your lives, then it's fine by me

Four years and I'm-
Four years, I'm sixteen years old
You wanna give man four years, a quarter of my life?
Nah, you're moving ma-, reckless
