Once In A While
OFB Lyrics

Top floor penthouse
I'm living luxuriously in a high-rise apartment

I reminisce just once in a while
Occasionally, I think back and reflect on my past

Q and Q for free
I have access to drugs without paying for them

Everybody getting high when I come to the town
Whenever I arrive, people start using drugs and getting high

I was locked down at South
I was imprisoned in the Southern part of the city

Had thugs tryna tell me come to the mount
There were criminals urging me to join their gang

Had a couple months 'til I'm out
I had a few more months left in my prison sentence

Just three months later
After only three months

had a nine in that presser (one)
I had a 9mm gun hidden in a press machine

And it come straight out that blender
I quickly and effortlessly retrieved the gun from its hiding place

I was out 'ere playing catch up
I was trying to catch up with the fast pace of life outside prison

Cah I know that my timing is precious
Because I value my time, I am cautious with how I use it

How many times did I do that fast lane
I frequently took risks and lived life in the fast lane

Reach that junction, take that exit
I made quick decisions and changed paths whenever necessary

It could've been rack when I throw this twenty
I could have gained a lot of money if I bet on this outcome

But it got spent on a sawn off Trenton
Unfortunately, I wasted the money on an illegal sawed-off shotgun

Get yourself caught on the lack
If you make a mistake and get caught in a dangerous situation

No one can't save him
There is no one who can protect or rescue him

You're gonna see a doctor, who?
If you mess with us, you'll end up in the hospital

David Tennant (gang)
A reference to the British actor and a way to assert their affiliation with a gang

Four long, kick it
Take a drag from a cigarette and relax

Swear down this one here ain't from Tekken
This person is not someone to be underestimated or taken lightly

Caught me a suttin' and it got left leaking
I obtained an item and it started to leak or drip

I done it just like my pendant
I executed the action flawlessly, like the pendant I wear

This black blade, that's my best friend
The black knife I carry is my most trusted and loyal companion

And all the fiends know about the bando
Drug addicts are aware of the location where drugs are sold

that's their entrance
That place serves as their access point to obtain drugs

Face-to-face with judge
Confronting a judge in court

But I'm thinking no way that that's my sentence
Although in court, I don't believe I will receive that particular punishment

Do it for bro cah he do it for me
I engage in criminal activities because my friend does the same for me

That's my bredrin
He is not just a friend but like a brother to me

Bro got a couple months 'til he's out
My friend still has a few remaining months in his prison sentence

No doubt, Bando, man do it and bounce
Without a doubt, we engage in illegal activities and quickly leave the scene

This Bad B's coming straight from South
This attractive woman is from the Southern part of the city

Said she Bando and SJ, that's clout
She claims to associate with our gang, which gives her reputation and influence

Jump out, creep up like a mouse
We approach quietly and discreetly, resembling a mouse

But bro's too fast, he wan' scream and shout
However, my friend is too quick and causes chaos, attracting attention

Bring smoke to the dance, go bow
We disrupt or cause trouble at social events, creating chaos

Have mouth and watch me back it from my pouch
I talk boastfully and confidently, showing off my weapon

Ouch, smoke on me, I got it
I have marijuana on me, ready to be smoked

My bro got it too but he's high off loud
My friend also has marijuana, but he is experiencing a strong and intense high

If I pull up, don't be in the crowd
If I arrive, make sure you don't stand out in the crowd

Bandokay, bad yute from a child (bad breed)
I am a tough and rebellious person since childhood

The opp boys know gang go wild
Our rivals are aware of our gang's violent nature

And my fam telling me that I make them proud
My family expresses their pride in me and my accomplishments

Year 9, school times, weren't allowed
When I was in 9th grade, we weren't permitted to partake in certain activities

I would've had my Rambo like man does now
Back then, I wished I had a dangerous weapon like I do now

This sweet one wants Nandos now
This attractive person wants to go eat at Nando's restaurant

And my line said she wants to take Bando out
Someone I know expressed interest in visiting and exploring our gang's territory

I ain't leaving the bando now
I am committed to staying and operating in our gang's territory

Trap boy, Bando, I'm a bando child
I am involved in drug dealing and criminal activities from a young age

Swing that, got my Rambo out
I brandish my dangerous weapon, ready to use it

Put a hand on Mango, man take him out (my brudda)
If someone threatens my friend Mango, I will retaliate and eliminate them

Man break it down, man chase him down
We break down or disassemble an object and pursue someone

And pray that he don't make it out (ching ching)
We hope the person doesn't escape and evade us (a reference to a stabbing sound)

Free SJ, pray he beats his trial
I hope my friend SJ is released from custody and found not guilty in his trial

I swear I got beef with the Mali's
I have a conflict or animosity towards a specific group of people

Cah they're tryna take over the town
Because they are attempting to assert dominance and control in our area

Spin-ting spins like a merry-go-round
We engage in violent retaliations frequently, like a spinning merry-go-round

This brown skin brucks her back, she's from South
This dark-skinned woman works hard, and she is from the Southern part of the city

Two got shh in a week, like, how?
Two individuals were silenced in a violent manner within a week, which seems implausible

Normal procedure, load that beater
It is routine for us to load a firearm

Creep up then you hear click-clack-bow
We approach silently, then you hear the sound of a gun being cocked and fired

Double Lz, I'm classed as bad (I am)
I am recognized as a dangerous and feared individual

You can get chinged out your DSquared pants
You can be stabbed or attacked while wearing your DSquared pants

SJ, my bro, my fam
SJ is not only my friend but also like family to me

I swear I can't wait 'til my broski lands
I eagerly anticipate the release of my friend so we can reunite

You don't want us to get this call
You don't want us to make a threatening phone call

We're doing our duties in Transit vans
We carry out our criminal activities using Transit vans

I was on them sides when my guys decamped
I was present in the area when my friends quickly fled

Jump out, Xhin Xhao
We suddenly appear and attack, catching our enemies off guard

Or you might get slapped
If you don't comply or show respect, you could get physically assaulted

Smoke in the ride, man got it and my bro got it too
We have marijuana in the car, both me and my friend

But he's high off the pack
However, he is heavily under the influence of the strong marijuana

Do it and dash, and pray I can't back out
We quickly commit a crime and hope that I won't feel the need to retreat

Can't call no cab cah he's smarter than that
We can't call a taxi service because my friend is more cautious

Phones at home, we don't do it for Snap
We leave our phones at home to avoid being tracked or recorded on Snapchat

Free Boogie B, he got caught on the cam
I hope my friend Boogie B is released, as he was caught on camera committing a crime

Go and ask opps how they dislike man
Go and ask our rivals how much they dislike us

I'll tell you for a fact that I'm known as a sav'
I can guarantee that I have a reputation for being a dangerous and ruthless individual

All eyes on me, all eyes on bro
Everyone is paying attention to me and my friend

Sweet one on me, she's winning
An attractive woman is showing interest in me

She don't know that my Rambo's twinning
She is unaware that I am carrying a second identical weapon

Man stepped in the rave, smoked up and drilling
I entered a party, consumed drugs, and engaged in violent behavior

Free Boogie B, he got bagged for a killing
I hope my friend Boogie B is released from custody, as he was arrested for murder

We're drillers and the opp boys keep on singing
We are known for our violent activities, and our rivals continue to talk about us

I'm in love with swimming, shotgun and swingers
I have a deep fascination for firearms, shotguns, and dangerous people

Right back tryna boot these wingers
We are actively trying to eliminate our rivals or enemies

Smoke in the ride, man got it and my bro got it too
We have marijuana in the car, both me and my friend

But he's high off fumes
However, he is intoxicated from inhaling the fumes of the drug

If I slap off this pocket rocket
If I discharge this small firearm

You won't hesitate to go hide in groups
You won't waste any time seeking refuge in a larger group of people

Man lean and shoot
We lean or tilt our bodies while shooting a gun

Bro off this roof cah we hit a movie in the 2's
My friend jumps off a rooftop, as if we are in an action film

Ay, spin this coupe
Hey, let's drive around in this luxury car

Bro, paigon, shoot
My friend, aim and shoot at the enemy

Slap man then head straight to the booth
We physically assault someone, then go directly to the recording studio

SJ, I'm anti, I don't fuck with socials
I am opposed to social media and do not engage with it

Ching my man in his throat
Stab my enemy in his throat

He's singing all shit, he ain't got no vocals
He is talking nonsense and does not have any talent

OFB, we ain't got no totals
Our group, OFB, does not keep track of our criminal achievements

Scoring and scoring and scoreboards hopeful
We continue to commit crimes and aim to climb higher on the criminal scoreboard

OFB's tryna make it global
OFB is striving for international recognition and success

Cock it, jump out and watch bro-bro smoke you
Prepare the gun, exit the vehicle, and witness my friend eliminate you

No Snapchat, we don't do it for socials
We don't engage in criminal activities for the purpose of showcasing them on social media

(Oii, oii)
Indication of excitement or anticipation
