P’s and Q’s
Kano Lyrics

Some manors don't like me, they try and badmind me
Certain areas dislike me and attempt to spread negativity towards me

When Kano comes to town All I say is "mind's right", and they lose the limelight When Kano comes around
When I arrive in town, I simply state that I am focused and the attention is no longer on those who were seeking limelight before my arrival

Some try screw me or even sue me But it don't work 'cos the crowd don't boo me You ain't a true G, I'm too deep How could Kano stay underground?
Some attempt to sabotage me, but it is ineffective because my fans continue to support me. I am too authentic to remain underground

I ain't like most that roll around And kick shit off, I hold it down But we're still gully The only 'pop' you'll hear from us is POP POP POP, then we're out
I am not like those who come around causing trouble, I stay composed. Yet, I still come from the streets. The only 'pop' sound you'll hear is from our guns, then we leave

Act up and get boxed in the mouth 'Cos, you're just playing a gangster You ain't never weighed a ounce, fought a bouncer You ain't never hid no blocks in your mouth
If you act out of line, you will get hit. You are pretending to be a gangster, but you have no experience. You have never sold drugs, fought with bouncers, or hidden illegal items in your mouth

You ain't got love in North, West and South And I'm an East boy, you're a chief boy I finish it when you start the beef boy
You do not have respect or support from all areas of London. I am from the East and have the authority to end any issues

Girls like me but I ain't a sweet boy, so boy Don't think you can move to me and think I'll be asleep boy 'Cos I'm on my P's and Q's
Women are attracted to me, but I am not a soft or naive person. Do not try to approach me thinking I am unaware because I am always alert

That's why I make more P's than you's Even when I'm in 3s and 2s, slip? There ain't no reason to, slipping
This is why I make more money than you, even when in smaller groups. Is there any reason to mess up and slip?

If there ain't a blitz between the clique, that's slipping No whip, out the manor linking chicks That's slipping, that's slipping
If there is not a sense of urgency and aggression within the group, that is a mistake. If you are hanging out with girls outside of the neighborhood, that is also a mistake

If you see me and I ain't with my crew Believe I'm on my P's and Q's Even on my own tune That's the difference between me and you
If you see me alone, know that I am still alert and focused. This is what sets me apart from you

I hate losing, so I ain't snoozing From London to Luton, I'm moving I'm even merking over seas And I got it locked from London to Leeds
I despise losing, so I am always active. I am moving between different areas of the UK and even achieving success overseas

You got lines but you spit like nursery rhymes This year's gotta be mine, I'm the first in line Wow, you got your first rewind But the second line sounded like the first line
Your lyrics are basic, like children's songs. This year, I am going to be the one on top. Congratulations on receiving your first rewind, but your verses are repetitive

I ain't got punch lines, I got kick lines And I ain't commercial but I got hit lines I spit deep rhymes But I got the girls on my side from the first rewind
I do not have meaningless one-liners, I have powerful lyrics. Although I am not mainstream, I still have successful songs. My verses have depth but also attract women

You might see my face in a magazine Or in a fur coat in FACE magazine 'Cos they're spreading the word down from raves that I been And they're bringing the purse out to pay for my team
You might recognize me from a magazine or from a high-end fashion publication. This is because my name is becoming more popular from the raves I attend and people are willing to pay for my presence

I couldn't give a shit, I'm breaking the scene Making a scene then start making the cream Seen? I got a gang with me And we all walk with a gangster lean
I do not care about the opinions of others, I am breaking into the music industry. I am causing a stir and starting to make money. My group has a tough appearance

You're all talk, you don't wanna rap with me There's no jokes or no pranks with me Believe I'm on my, P's and Q's, in sneaks or shoes We're in a Honda, fuck it no Jeeps and coupes
You are only pretending to be a rapper, and you do not want to actually compete against me. I do not mess around and I am always alert, regardless of what I am wearing or driving

We'll chief your crew, we're so hungry we'll thief your food So mind out before you find out who you're speaking to I speak to youths, on the level, and speak the truth
We will take control of your group, because we are desperate and will even steal your food. So be careful who you talk to. I talk to young people honestly and straightforwardly

So please, there's thug in me But there ain't no me in you And please, you ain't bussin' one, let alone squeezing two Say cheese, but it won't be a snapshot Pull out and try and hit like the jackpot, leave
I am a tough person, but you are not like me. You have not even fired a single gun, let alone two. Smile for a photo, but you will not be around for long. If we fight, I will come out on top

I ain't waiting around, baiting the town for K to be found That's slipping, if there ain't a blitz between the clique That's slipping
I do not waste time waiting for people to come to me. If the group is not properly alert or aggressive, it is a problem
