Knucks tells the story of two people who are seen as opposites, and their own “Yin and Yang”: a police officer and a young kid who fell into a life of crime.
He uses the chorus to contrast the two, but also links them together as they both refer to this cat and mouse chase as “Hide and Seek” showin...
[Intro]
TSB
Yeah
[Verse 1]
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, don was a yout
While under pursuit, he was only eleven
Like "Get him", he stole with his bredrin
They asked him his name and he told them "It's Kevin"
Bright-еyed copper, most likely his wifеy divorced
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
[Chorus]
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 side
Someone tell me, why all the eyes on me?
True say, got the nine of 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
[Verse 2]
It's fine, it's fine, except time's been flyin' by
Little old Kevin just turned twenty-one
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 a trunk with a 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, like them boys play theirs
But don't play fair, like "Oh, say swear"
In holdin' cells tryna hold in fear
I scream "Fuck you" and I hope they hear, yeah
[Chorus]
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 side
Someone tell me, why all the eyes on me?
True say, got the nine of 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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 side
Someone tell me, why all the eyes on me?
True say, got the nine of 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
[Chorus]
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 side
Someone tell me, why all the eyes on me?
True say, got the nine of 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

The story of this song comes from watching [HBO TV series] The Wire—I was inspired by the love-hate relationship between Bodie and McNulty. Their jobs put them up against each other, but you also see there’s a mutual respect for one another. The [2012] Nas song ‘Stay’ talks about how guys have ops,...
