Groundhog
Flowdan Lyrics

Living life like a ground hog
Living life stuck in the same routine, day after day.

Black bandana and it sounds of Sirens and violence 24 7 no days off
Constantly surrounded by criminal activity and the sound of police sirens, with no escape.

As a younger he tried to be a pro baller But no scouts never called up
When he was younger, he dreamed of being a professional basketball player, but it never happened for him.

Now you catch him on da corner Number one gunner and rising the tall up
In the present day, he can be found on the street corner, selling drugs and using violence to rise up in the local criminal hierarchy.

Worked the life that he wanted Older brothers doing 10 for a gun ting
He has built the life he wanted for himself, despite his older brothers being in jail for gun-related crimes.

That world don he weren't on that Black balaclava and gloves for the robbery
He wasn't involved in the world of gun crime, but he still participated in robberies, wearing a black balaclava and gloves to conceal his identity.

Dem time there he's looking Food for the family Buss gunshot and drink brandy
During those times, he only cared about providing food for his family, resorting to violence if necessary, and self-medicating with alcohol.

Living at home with his mumsie There weren't one day that he Had to go hungry
Despite living at home with his mother, he never went without food.

Now he said that he worked out The olders are cool but they're burnt out
He has come to the realization that the older members of his criminal group may have once been formidable, but they have become burnt out over time.

They haven't put in work for The last couple years So according to him they don't dump out
He believes that because the older members of his group haven't been actively involved in criminal activity for a while, they are no longer capable of carrying out violent acts.

But anyway he got shift with a couple boxes Boydem run up in his mumsie
Despite his beliefs about the older members of his group, he still found himself in trouble with the police when they raided his mother's house and found drugs in his possession.

Lucky that he never had the 45 Dirty Babylon they would have loved it
He was fortunate that he didn't have a .45 caliber gun on him during the raid, as the police would have been eager to arrest him for it.

So when the judge slapped him with a sentence Not one ounce of repentance
When he received his sentence from the judge, he felt no remorse for his actions.

Tried the screw face ting when he Was about on the wing But when he got punched up he remember That he wasn't bout that life on the inside
He attempted to act tough when he was first incarcerated, but quickly realized that he wasn't cut out for the violent life on the inside when he was beaten up.

Never ad tha art of a warrior Started promising himself he weren't Guna come back got surrounded by goon and he Felt like a foreigner
He never possessed the skills necessary to be a violent criminal, and promised himself that he wouldn't go back to that world. However, when he found himself surrounded by violent individuals, he felt like an outsider.

Anyway them mana touch road Now he's saying get down or lay down Upgraded himself from mini to a monster Brand new bully in the playground
Now that he's out of prison, he sees himself as a more dangerous criminal. He's demanding respect and has become a bully to those around him.

Mumsie can't take it She goes hard with the prayers onna Sunday She beg Jesus for guidance And mercy to show him a better way
His mother is struggling to cope with the life that he's leading, and prays for guidance and mercy for him on a regular basis.

But anyway my mans Muslim He goes hard with the war onna Friday He said he's done with the bacon But he still goes ham with The lemon and the highgrade
Despite being Muslim, he still uses drugs and sells them for profit.

Now we got a new chapter Life of a new wave gangsta When my don said he's picking up boxes Cash in hand he ain't holla'in a sponsor
He's turned a new leaf and considers himself to be part of a new generation of gangsters. He continues to sell drugs, but is now doing it independently.

Now he knows about obia So he's spending big money on the dark side Try pay for protection pray for protection Shook he was just hoping he won't die
He's now aware of the dangers of being involved in the criminal underworld, and is spending a lot of money on protection to avoid being harmed.

Cause nobody wants gun shots Never get caught slipping on the wrong side Yo the streets look then the streets chat he Heard somebody's just put money On his headback
Nobody wants to be shot, and he's aware that he needs to be careful about who he associates with on the streets. He's heard a rumor that there's a price on his head.

But he said he don't even bidniss He said dem man better get a refund He don't leave yard without the big ting He said funeral but it ain't he's one
He denies being involved in any illegal activity when asked about it, and warns those who put the price on his head to retract their offer. He feels the need to carry a weapon with him for protection and claims that if someone shoots him, there will also be a funeral for the shooter.

She knows he won't make it But she begs Jesus to hear What she's gotta say But anyway my mans dumping People wit shots in their face and headback
His mother is convinced that he won't survive the dangerous life he's leading, but continues to pray for him. He's now involved in violent acts, including shootings.

Mana move scary like Halloween pumpkin Dem man that buss gun dem Man that don't take chat
He now acts intimidating and violent to those around him, and associates himself with people who are willing to use guns to achieve their goals.

The pressure is rising we keep on surviving There's no disguising it goes on and on The road that your taking The world that your making it goes on and on
The pressure to continue this dangerous life is increasing, but they will keep persevering. There's no hiding the fact that life on the streets continues to go on and on, and the choices they make will determine the course of their lives.

On and on on and on On and on on and on On and on on and on On and on on and on
A repeating of the point that life on the streets continues without end.
