[Intro: Kano]
I got this long intro and I got nothing to say
I just wanna ask one question
Hear me out
[Bridge: Kano]
How we living?
My East side n***as - how we living?
How we living?
My bullet proof West - how we living?
How we living?
My n***as up North - how we living?
How we living?
My n***as down South - how we living?
How we living?
How we living?
My n***as how we living?
Sinning, cos that's the only way we think we're winning
k**ing cos that's the only language people listen to
Slinging, 'cause that's all you can manage wen you've been into
Prison, forbidden to listen
Good riddance to bad rubbish
We don't know how to forgive we hold grudges
And we don't know how to receive we throw punches
And we don't know how to believe
[Verse 1: Kano]
That there's too much drama
I feel like walking road with two straps and armour
All we care about is funds and garms, guns and arms
The best chick on your arm, the best watch on your wrist
Best watch your wrist cos them boys are
Best cop your blitz cos them boys are
Best tint your whip like them boy's cars
But I don't wanna be co*king it back and everywhere I go watching my back
I just wanna hop on a track do my thing - not put on an act
I don't even wanna put on bling
f** up, go to jail, get put on a wing
Got my own mind, never been put on a string
Cos I just wanna be the best
I don't wanna do shows and be in a vest
[Hook: Kano]
Live life to the fullest cos life can be taken away
Be careful with bullets cos bullets can easily spray
If he's ready to pull it you better be ready to react
If its knock, buck or say 'f**' and get back
[Verse 2: Kano]
'Cause there's too much war
Some need a strap just to go to the corner store
But is it worth the stress?
Baking in a vest when head shots can take in him the vest
Take the bigger steps then you soon can take the bigger cheque
Cos wen a gun goes off in your head you will be heading for a closed coffin
I'm dreading that my time's up soon
Might die with the nines up soon
Or do something dumb and get picked out of the line-up soon
Cos I'm in two minds and I know what's wrong and I know what's right
And i know I'm strong and I don't just say this sh** when I write
