48 Bars
Kano Lyrics

Let the beat drop, let the beat drop
Waiting for the music to begin

Yo its K-A-N-O, listen, Beats and Bars
Introducing himself as Kano, a rapper, and saying he is going to perform some rhymes and music for his listeners

I′m busy but I still pop up on road
Despite being busy, he still appears on the street to perform for his fans

Roll with my niggers that plot for the dough
Kano is with his friends who are focused on making money

Bait motherfuckers got a box in the Golf
Slang for drug dealers who are driving a Volkswagen Golf and are ready to sell their drugs

Got shit on lock like cocks in Bow
He is in control like a man is in control of his private parts, Bow is an area in East London

On stage you ain't topping my show
He is too good on stage for anyone else to do better

My clique′s hardcore like rock and roll
Kano's group of friends is like rock music, tough and edgy

Roll on the road with a pocket of dough
He carries cash with him while traveling

You're broke prick you can't even top up your phone
He is insulting someone who is so poor that they cannot even recharge their phone credit

You might find that I got my cock in your ho
He might be sleeping with someone's girlfriend

When you bought her a bracelet, a watch and a phone
The person took his girlfriend out and bought her expensive gifts

I buy rounds don′t try floss me a mo
He is buying drinks for his friends, so they shouldn't try to show off

Cos that′s how much these brandys cost me with coke
He is explaining that he is spending a lot of money on buying expensive alcohol and adding coke (cocaine) to it

'05 niggers better watch me get dough
He is warning other rappers that he is going to make more money than them

What d′you think I just had on lock for the mo
He is asking what they thought he was doing while he was absent

You watch the pennies, try and cut back
He is telling people to save money and be more careful with their spending

We rave in a six whip, clique, you get a bus back
He and his friends are known to ride a Mercedes-Benz S600, but others might need to use public transport

And we bring the ting cos you can't trust blacks
He is saying that he brings a gun because black people are not always trustworthy

There′s no limit on it cos the credit cards black
He has no limit on his credit card because he has a lot of money

Nah it's gold but still I get fast cash
He is correcting himself, saying it is a gold card, but he still gets cash quickly

Cos if it ain′t big dough then we nah chat
If the money isn't big enough, they won't talk about it

I'm just in the car-park after for gash
He might be looking for sex in the car park

And I don't make love fuck that
He is not interested in making love, only sex

It′s more like beef when we buss, when she buss I buss back
Sex is more aggressive like a fight, when she orgasms he will orgasm as well

When I come on rush to the front, fuck the back
He jumps to the front of the crowd when he is performing, there is no need to be at the back of the room

And pop pop pop feel free buss a strap
There might be gunshots, so feel free to fire your gun

And no disrespect MC′s but I'm back
He is not disrespecting other rappers, but he is reminding them that he is back on the scene

So ollie ollie ollie please cut the crap
He is asking people to stop talking nonsense now that he is back

The most hyped kid but this one can rap
He is the most popular rapper, but also a skilled rapper

Even got the manager doing
Even his manager is excited about his success

I′m hot like a hundred degrees
He is saying that he is very popular right now

So fuck that chain on your chest you're a fronter to me
He does not care about other people's flashy jewelry, he doesn't consider them genuine

So don′t talk reckless in front of me
He is warning people not to say anything foolish when they are around him

And if it ain't P′s then you come to me
If you need money, you can come to him

I'm the MC the yutes come to see
Young people come to see him perform

I write easy, the truth comes to me
He doesn't have trouble writing raps, the lyrics come to him naturally

So here's what I′m saying, I ain′t one to chief
He is saying that he is sober, not one to smoke marijuana

So don't be saying ′suck your mum' to me
He is asking people not to insult him by saying that

I ain′t letting no MC fuck with me
No other rapper can compete with him

I'll beat you up on stage, fuck the beat
He is not afraid to fight with other rappers on stage, and he doesn't care about the music playing in the background

And it won′t be sweet when you buck up with me
It won't end well if someone tries to confront him

Especially if there's something tucked underneath
He might be carrying a weapon, so it is not wise to confront him

I got a little buffers tucked under sheets
He has drugs hidden under his bed

And she only shakes her bum bum for me
A woman might be dancing and twerking solely for Kano's pleasure

And she dun knows I dun bun MC's
She knows that he has defeated other rappers before

I bun MC′s like rastas bun weed
He defeats rappers just like how Rastafarians smoke weed

So if you say it′s beef then come come to east
He is inviting other rappers to come and compete with him in the East of London

Act dumb-diggy-diggy-d-dumb-dumb and see
If they act stupid, they will regret it
