The song "Spooky Bando" by Hovey Benjamin is a trap song that tells the story of a person trappin' (selling drugs) out of an old, abandoned house known as a "bando." The lyrics describe the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the bando, comparing it to a spooky, scary movie. The narrator expresses their fear of encountering ghosts or spirits in the bando and their desire to avoid any supernatural encounters. The lyrics also touch upon the illegal nature of their activities, mentioning sneaking around due to the illicit nature of their operation. They mention feeling paranoid and on edge, especially with the creaky doors and floors of the bando. The narrator confesses to not liking ghosts or spirits and not wanting to hear any scary stories, as they are more concerned about their illegal activities and the potential for being caught by law enforcement. Despite the narrator's fear of the supernatural, they continue selling drugs and flipping kilos (distributing drugs in large quantities). They mention using a microwave and baking soda, which are commonly associated with drug manufacturing processes. However, their paranoia grows as they believe that ghosts are taking over the bando. The song takes an unexpected turn when the narrator awakens to a voice that turns out to be their deceased grandmother. They realize that the ghost haunting the bando is actually their grandmother visiting them. The narrator expresses their love and gratitude towards their grandmother, acknowledging that she understands their choice to sell drugs and reassuring them that it's okay. In the end, the song portrays the narrator's complex emotions, blending fear of the supernatural with love for their grandmother and gratitude for her understanding and support.
