[Intro:]
yo, yo mike man, this is the one man,
it's gonna blow 'em away..
let me teach these.. it's KANE man, let me explain man.

[verse:]
I'm tryin to perfect my flow flows so my doe grows
loads like Pinocchio's nose,
no, they really dont know,
most of these spitters roll blow so dont boast it's
like nasty and e's cold, i say that cos my nigga d
no and like deep road looks oh,
he's cold, these is all e's bro's home sweet home,
i speak slow, so the road can understand what i mean
so, when i mean business what i mean is pro,
and when i'm a little broke what i need is dough,
and i speak low, i'm all alone,
i just go where i need to go,
but if you dont know K.A you dont NO
(know) and if you aint on point then you dont roll,
LOOK, i love the road, the tarmac the white lines,
the double yellows the zig zags and the bright lights,
i hate being in the limelight but i love being on the
page or on the stage at prime time,
i'm having fun so time flies i'm having none so i find
fights one every 5 nights and i aint weak i can rhyme
tight but just let me let the beat say something for
a second. That fine Mike? you know of vice versa but
should i have had my money straight before i got my
mind right? cos before i'm shopping in byrites,
i'm ah take action like Michael jackson and Buy rights,
half a mill i'll be quite nice,
i dont want a SL5 an X5 and 5 bikes,
i dont spend i'm quite tight,
i love money dont get me wrong but it's more what the
songs like, you see me i aint hard to please,
i just wanna spit these bars and breeze,
i just wanna sit in cars with the keys,
put my mum in a place where palms are the tree's,
cos living broke that's hardly me,
but being rich and legit thats hard to be,
but i cant be bothered with bars of weed,
i'd rather spit 16 bars for P's,
i kick down door's no one didnt let him in,
i been around but i'm far from a veteren,
i bet u didnt know K's been developing since plague
and Pay as you go days, them days i wasnt on moves
and dealing, i used to kick ball and make tapes for
Deamon, now i make plates and tapes for Deamon,
now i got a fan base and me their Feeling,
I'm rapping now, so i'm stacking now i aint slacking
now, travelling, Louis Vouiton bags i'm packing now,
i aint trying to do crime all my life i'm cracking
down, but nights got my tracking now,
i was a slow starter but i'm Zattin now VRROOM,
i used to get air but now i get poom poom,
see you when i get there, get where?
laid back in a deck chair on private islands,
you go area and get air, all i say is YO 1,
2 check check YEAH, it's KANO in the house then they
know in the house to say NO when i shout DO I PLAY,
fuck rolling about i'm over and i'm out,
my first tune Blew sold over a thou,
it's on when i lift the Mic,
but i knew i would burst on a different Vibe since
the 21st of the 5th 85.....

[Chorus:]
Home sweet home, thats where i come from,
where i got my knowledge of the road and the flow from,
Home sweet home, where the grass aint greener,
of half hard workers half are dealers,




Home sweet home, where i feel meaner,
so i spit trying to fill wembely arena

Mike

[Mike Skinner]
Seriously man,
Like, you know when you got a good girl,
Or you know when she means something to you, & you've got like, a name.

[Leo The Lion]
Here we go again
Here we go

[Mike Skinner]
Like I had a name for this girl, I used to call her "Ladybird",
Cos she always played red, in Connect Four.

[Leo The Lion (Chorus)]
Link em & leave then em high,
I've been telling all my man's for time,
Link em and then leave em high,
They never take my advice,
But now I realise, I realise why,
They have not been listening all this time,
Cos since I linked you, last night,
I wont be taking my advice

[Kano]
Look,
I call her "Nite nite"
'cause she sleeps from the day right to the bright light,
and I like her too much to say bye bye,
But we getting on fine right,
I don't wanna spoil it,
I don't why I can't commit to girls,
And I tell white lies, I'll find out the hard way,
Cos she got my favourite smile, her favourite style,
The first hotel, My favourite time,
And later we could have a baby, maybe a baby boy, my favourite child,
"I'm way too tired", My favourite lie,
My verse on so sure, her favourite rhyme
The windows are steaming up like it's naked time,
Wait, we're way too bait,
I bought her favourite shoes, or they better be,
And she's even my favourite size,
And she knows I hate holding hands, and I'm hooded up when it's
bait inside,
So I guess she's my favorite, right?

[Leo the Lion]
Right,
Cos nothing comes close to you.

[Kano]
So numbers? No boys are taking yours,
And no girls are taking mine,
Groupies? f*** that, I'm taking time,
We speak from like 8 till late at night,
When we gets on top, drop my favourite line:

[Leo the Lion]
Girl, I ain't going nowhere.

[Kano (spoken)]
I plain ain't going nowhere,
But, I like you, and it might take some time,
But really I'm like:

[Leo the Lion & Kano]
Here we go again,

[Leo the Lion (Chorus)]

[Kano]
I call her sometimes, and I wake her up at some dumb times,
Touch my phone, and her number my thumb finds,
Cos she's ideal, like a nice meal, and a night in, with a nice feel,
Maybe some wine,
Maybe sometime we could hold hands in the park, in the sunshine,
Sometimes,
Be patient with me if I got 3 raves in a week,
Or in a studio, away for a week,
One day we could book a vacation and leave,
But please: "No drama", I don't need beef like shane, forbe, fabian an dean,
I'm just focused on making the peas, Breaking the team, Chasing a dream,
I ain't on the street, maybe sometimes,
But you can't say I don't make enough time,
We speak everyday and meet every week,
So I dunno. Maybe it's me.
You? You got it planned out,
I don't make plans,
You know me, I wait and I see,
But if we were together, or even now,
If we weren't "sort-of", but were together,
Would you be faithful to me?
Treat me massage me, and make me a tea?
Come link me, lay and wake up from sleep, and look hot like 80 degrees?

[Leo the Lion]
And you know I never say that sort of thing

[Kano (spoken)]
See? That's an angel to me
I wouldn't have said that before, you get me?

[Leo the Lion (Chorus)]

[Leo the Lion]
No, no, no, no, no, no
Oh my, my, ow,
Baby we could do this again sometime,
I even have a special name for you,
It's "Long Baby", cos you always on my mind, yeah.
I'll tell you straight, so straight, yeah,
I won't tell my mates,
No, no, I know, No, I know,
Yeah I like you,
Here we go,
Here we go again,
Here we,
Here we go again.
