[Hook 1: Kano] There are lots of signs in life Some that you may not like You could be living this minute … The next minute you're gone away So hold up your hands my brothers And be conscious my sisters And by your worst, you will get paid [Verse 1: Kano] True, you can move food on the street Did a bit of that, got bored of that Didn't move the brown or the crack Use to pick up for the fact I could make more back by breaking down to scores and that Stack to buy out the stores and that Didn't give a sh** about loads of that But I did give a sh** about getting locked up Or get boxed up, sentenced you'll get about 4 for that Crap, you ain't so rich now I bet you feel like a prick now 'Cos where's all your fancy sh** now Where's your whips, chicks and your bits now sh**, you should have fixed up f** d**, the mic you should have picked up And it was all for the big bucks Now you're sitting in a cell doing sit ups Blood I told you this sh**'s f**ed The ghetto lifestyles too much If I bust, be proud of me You can't take it out of me So I'm a bit stuck But, I got too much to lose now Love my life, and I don't wanna lose out I'm still about, I'm home sweet home In the ends, like I don't wanna move out I'm too bad [Hook: Kano] [Verse 2: Kano] Look, you can do moves on the street I'd rather spit bars on the beat I'd rather that than lick cars every week But jack is when I split scars with the heat So I'm so low like the guitars and the beat But this rhyming sh** is for me I live this, drink this, eat this, sh** this
And I've even writ bars in my sleep But I ain't on hype, I've had enough phase Ghetto's probably inside, hope he bust K's That undergrounds like road this, a tough race You can be living this minute, then gone again like mum you was right And I was wrong again But I'm strong again Still moved on again Ten more minutes and I writ another song again If I can do it, you can I'm a true fan Up and coming MC's big up you man The doors open but I ain't through man I'mma ball through like a cue Dan Watch me, ain't gonna let no-one stop me UK I'm gonna break you properly And if you ain't gonna watch me do that, move back Who's that? K-A … I knew that And I know its not easy, and I know what you're feeling Just believe me [Hook: Kano] [Verse 3: Kano] That's why I don't feel I'm safe I fear I'm bait, but I can't put my sk**s to waste Because if you're living by the gun you surely will get blazed I still don't blaze, refuse to smoke my life away Refuse to die before I try then put the mic away This life of K, is just one big hype for praise Write, night, record then start to write again But I'm just saying, back on hype of Kane But only I'm to blame Today I saw the signs again, and it's not a good look But "that's life" they say, crime pays And I'll stop crime whenever this grime decides to pay But grime ain't making me meals So I'm picking up a 9 today And spitting ain't getting me deals But this sh**s just getting real [Hook: Kano] [Outro: Kano] This sh**s just getting real...
