[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... [x2]
