The song Nightmare by Lil Macks is highlighting how the UK System has failed young people resulting in them turning to crime as a last resort by rapping what they get up to
[Chorus]
In too deep in the streets, talking head first
Probably why I always put the block first
And they want my all niggas in a jailhouse
Mhm, I'm just praying that it doesn't get worse
And why are you talking about them bitches, they are not mine
And I get in my feelings when I get high
Block Baby tryna get by, do it broad day, do in the night
[Verse 1]
And I can never turn on them trenches
Five feet keep it steep not to mention
We been running round for days all restless
Stick to the code, no confessing
And how do you say you're his nigga but you do not slide?
In my hood, if you get caught, then you do the time
And we don't pop pills, just dirty sprite
Anywhere, any place so always keep a knife
[Pre Chorus]
And why do you act like you know me?
She said she in love tell her show me
I think she being honest when she go OD
And I gotta watch out for the police
[Chorus]
In too deep in the streets, talking head first
Probably why I always put the block first
And they want my niggas in a jailhouse
Mhm, I'm just praying that it doesn't get worse
And why are you talking about the bitches, they are not mine
And I get in my feelings when I get high
Block Baby tryna get by, do it broad day, do in the night
[Verse 2]
Onto him, young told him fix up
But when he's in my ends, he knows to keep his shit tucked
We live a scary movie so they hate us
I found a bitch I'll never pick up like I hate drugs
It's a strange feeling for me
If it ain't nine keys, then ill seize till you're free
I ain’t never needed a bitch
Young money mitch gonna lose my mind if you leave (ah)
OTG with some dealers, do a drill
Then we burn the clothes or we take them to the bleachers
Ever seen your nigga have a seizure?
Grew up in a nightmare, but all my niggas dreamers
[Pre-Chorus]
And why do you act like you know me?
She said she in love tell her show me
I think she being honest when she go OD
And I gotta watch out for the police
[Chorus]
In too deep in the streets, talking head first
Probably why I always put the block first
And they want my niggas in a jailhouse
Mhm, I'm just praying that it doesn't get worse
And why are you talking about the bitches, they are not mine
And I get in my feelings when I get high
Block Baby tryna get by, do it broad day, do in the night
