Kano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So look,
I'm in a dancing mood,
So I hope you got on your dancin shoes,
If you ain't movin I ain't askin you,
I can't stop and talk I'm just passing you,
Cause all I'm askin for is a fun night,
I don't get a chance no more.
You see that that's called a dancing floor,
It's like nobody don't dance no more.

(Its like nobody don't dance no more)

These kids now days,
They don't make them like they used to,
They don't even dance in the raves like we used to,
One finger skank and two steppin in your new shoes,
They just raise their gun fingers and see who they might move to.
And they don't appreciate music they can use too,
So if you ain't cuttin it,
Don't chat shit ill boo you,
I just wana see some people move to my new tune,
'Cause these new youths have definatley got a screw loose,

Look I'm in a dancin mood,
So I hope you got on your dancin shoes,
When you see me no I'm jus passin through,
With a beverage maybe a glass or two,
All the man yeah I'm askin you,
And the girls move your hips when your dancin too,
Come get together and dance in twos,
D. j we love that ratsed tune,
You don't have to move too fast too,
You can even do a slow wind like my aunts do,
I'm telling you, you can dance to a dark tune,
So don't say play suttin a can dance to,
You can do it don't say that you can't do,
You can skank and still be this fit,
They just need to be uplifted,
'Cause kids nowdays have gotten twisted,

Kids nowdays, they don't make them like they used to,
They don't even dance in the raves like we used to,
One finger skank and two stepping in your new shoes,
They just raise their gun fingers and see who they might move to,
And they don't appreciate music they can use too,
So if you ain't cuttin it,
Don't chat shit ill boo you,
I just wana see some people move to my new tune,
Cause these new youths have definatley got a screw loose,

Look I'm in a dancing mood,
So I hope you've got on your dancing shoes,
But don't think I'm one of them dancing dudes,
I just got rid of my dancing tune,
But nobody don't dance no more,
Enjoy yourself and start no war,
Dance for the whole rave,
Like venue there the good old days,
But ain't no rave better than the old raves,
Shut champagne and the low fade,
Skank out heartless I'm old school,
Love bug burden over you, it's overdue,
No hype no fighting over tunes,
Ten guys on the mic all over you,
No ravers just some rude girls,
They don't make them like they used to.

Kids nowdays, they don't make them like they used to,
They don't even dance in the raves like we used to,
One finger skank and two stepping in your new shoes,
They just raise their gun fingers and see who they might move to,
And they don't appreciate music they can use too,
So if you ain't cuttin it,
Don't chat shit ill boo you,
I just wana see some people move to my new tune,
Cause these new youths have definatley got a screw loose.





(It's like nobody don't dance no more)
