Krept Konan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't want no smoke
They don't want no smoke
They don't want no smoke
My actions on alert, savage ain't the word
Twenty niggas deep, man ain't getting searched
Acting like a bitch, panties and a skirt
Chatting in your verse, you rappers got a nerve
Knocking niggas out, man are on the verge
I know you seen the whips, call me Matt when I skrrt
Bitch, what you doing? Get your hand off the Merc
Whole ends screaming free TK
Man was really in the ends where the Gs stay
Had Amazon her, she was surfing eBay
Boy, boy, shot sounded like a replay
Better call me Matt now
I'm like vroom, whip's worth like a flat now
They're like hmm, clap nigga with the plaits, how?
Check my Snap and zoom, that's your Mrs. in the background, pussy
On my life, they don't want no smoke (behave)
They don't want no smoke (pussy)
They don't want no smoke (ba-boom)
They don't want no smoke (greaze)
On my life, they don't want no smoke (skrr-skrr)
They don't want no smoke (ay)
They don't want no smoke
They don't want no smoke
They can't cope, they don't want no smoke
Catch him on the road, be like "fam, I ain't involved"
Comfy on my own
Looking at my watches like "I could've bought a home"
Free the mandem, sipping Magnum
In the dance with a big spliff, Buju Banton
Fuckboys throwing tantrums, on my Samson
Not my fault that your babymum thinks I'm handsome
On a stage with a hundred man, better understand
Tryna book us for your festival? That's a hundred grand
Niggas think they're in wonderland with a couple fans
Till we have you in your Air Max doing the running man
Buss your head with an E&J, now I can see your brain
Had this nitty on my penj line, looked like Peter Kay
I brought weed with my EMA, fuck Theresa May
I brought weed with my EMA, fuck Theresa May (kaboom)
On my life, they don't want no smoke (behave)
They don't want no smoke (pussy)
They don't want no smoke (ba-boom)
They don't want no smoke (greaze)
On my life, they don't want no smoke (skrr-skrr)
They don't want no smoke (ay)
They don't want no smoke (greaze)
They don't want no smoke (yeah)
I talk to dead people on a daily basis
Everyday I look around, same familiar faces
Multicultural gang, million races
Fuck mid Brexit, them niggas is racist
I bought my dad a house, that's what niggas do
Mum got jealous so I got her one too
Told that boy I don't wanna kick it, I don't wanna learn kung fu
But if your girlfriend texts me, I'ma tell her come through
Give her that anaconda, I'ma give her that Jake the snake
Put her to sleep, in the morning, give her that wake and bake
Think you're a big boy now? You stay up late?
I was in the lion's den when you was playing Snake
Such a fucking snake, you love to hate
I still have my asthma pump, and I ain't never tucked my chain
This a one-of-one, custom-made
Mum says I've gone crazy, I'm just stuck in my ways
On my life, they don't want no smoke (behave)
They don't want no smoke (pussy)
They don't want no smoke (ba-boom)
They don't want no smoke (greaze)
On my life, they don't want no smoke (skrr-skrr)
They don't want no smoke (ayy)
They don't want no smoke
They don't want no smoke
The lyrics to Krept & Konan's song "On My Life" depict a defiant and confrontational attitude towards those who underestimate them or try to provoke them. The repeated phrase "they don't want no smoke" serves as a warning to anyone who dares to challenge them. The use of "smoke" metaphorically refers to trouble or conflict, implying that their adversaries are not ready for the consequences of their actions.
The first verse emphasizes their readiness to retaliate against any perceived disrespect. They portray themselves as tough and fearless, moving through the streets with a large group of supporters and showing a disregard for authority. The derogatory language used in this verse is meant to provoke and establish dominance.
The second verse continues the theme of asserting dominance and dismissing their enemies. They claim that their adversaries cannot handle the repercussions of their actions and distance themselves from any involvement. The lines about looking at their watches and contemplating the value of their time suggest that they are successful and financially secure. They also reference their popularity and influence, challenging those who doubt their status.
In the third verse, the lyrics take a more introspective turn. Krept & Konan reflect on their experiences growing up and the racial diversity of their community. They express their frustration with racism and political issues such as Brexit. The lines about buying houses for their parents indicate their success and ability to provide for their loved ones. They also boast about their sexual encounters and their ability to attract women, displaying a sense of confidence and power.

They don't want no smoke
They want no confrontation or problems
My actions on alert, savage ain't the word
I am constantly aware and ready for anything, being ruthless doesn't even describe it
Twenty niggas deep, man ain't getting searched
We roll deep with twenty guys, so we don't get stopped and searched
Acting like a bitch, panties and a skirt
You're acting weak and cowardly, like a woman
I bet you suck your mum, you prick, and go and mash your work
I bet you're disrespectful to your own mother, you're a jerk, and you go and ruin your illegal activities
Chatting in your verse, you rappers got a nerve
You talk big in your rap songs, but you have the audacity to do so
Knocking niggas out, man are on the verge
We are always ready to knock people out, we are on the brink
I know you seen the whips, call me Matt when I skrrt
You've seen the expensive cars I drive, so call me Matt when I speed away
Bitch, what you doing? Get your hand off the Merc
Hey, what are you doing? Get your hands off my Mercedes
Whole ends screaming free TK
The entire neighborhood is advocating for the release of TK
Man was really in the ends where the Gs stay
I was really in the neighborhood where the gangsters reside
Had Amazon her, she was surfing eBay
I had a girl delivered to me like Amazon, and she was browsing eBay
Boy, boy, shot sounded like a replay
Hey, hey, the gunshot sounded like a replay
Better call me Matt now
You better address me as Matt from now on

I'm like vroom, my car's value has plummeted
They're like hmm, clap nigga with the plaits, how?
They're wondering how I managed to hit someone with braided hair
Check my Snap and zoom, that's your Mrs. in the background, pussy
Look at my Snapchat and zoom in, that's your wife in the background, you coward
They can't cope, they don't want no smoke
They can't handle it, they don't want any trouble
Catch him on the road, be like 'fam, I ain't involved'
Encounter him on the street and say 'man, I have nothing to do with this'
Comfy on my own
I feel comfortable being alone
Looking at my watches like 'I could've bought a home'
Observing my watches and realizing that I could have bought a house instead
Free the mandem, sipping Magnum
Free my gang members, drinking Magnum (a brand of alcohol)
In the dance with a big spliff, Buju Banton
In the party with a large joint, like Buju Banton (a reggae artist)
Fuckboys throwing tantrums, on my Samson
Immature guys throwing fits, showing their weakness, while I remain strong like Samson
Not my fault that your babymum thinks I'm handsome
It's not my fault that your kid's mother finds me attractive
On a stage with a hundred man, better understand
On stage with a hundred guys, you should comprehend
Tryna book us for your festival? That's a hundred grand
Trying to book us for your music festival? It will cost you one hundred thousand pounds
Niggas think they're in wonderland with a couple fans
Guys think they're in a fantasy world with a few fans
Till we have you in your Air Max doing the running man
Until we catch you and make you run for your life in your Air Max shoes
Buss your head with an E&J, now I can see your brain
Hit your head with a bottle of E&J liquor, now your brain is exposed
Had this nitty on my penj line, looked like Peter Kay
Had a drug addict on my personal phone line, who resembled Peter Kay (a comedian)

I brought weed with my EMA, fuck Theresa May (kaboom)
I used my education maintenance allowance to buy marijuana, screw Theresa May (kaboom)
I talk to dead people on a daily basis
I have frequent conversations with deceased individuals
Everyday I look around, same familiar faces
Every day I see the same people around me, no new faces
Multicultural gang, million races
My gang consists of people from different ethnic backgrounds, representing many races
Fuck mid Brexit, them niggas is racist
Screw the middle of Brexit, those guys are racist
I bought my dad a house, that's what niggas do
I purchased a house for my father, that's what real men do
Mum got jealous so I got her one too
My mother got envious, so I bought her a house as well
Told that boy I don't wanna kick it, I don't wanna learn kung fu
I told that guy I don't want to hang out, I don't want to learn martial arts
But if your girlfriend texts me, I'ma tell her come through
But if your girlfriend messages me, I'm going to invite her over
Give her that anaconda, I'ma give her that Jake the snake
I will provide her with a large penis, I will give her a sexual experience
Put her to sleep, in the morning, give her that wake and bake
I'll make her fall asleep, and in the morning, I'll give her marijuana to smoke
Think you're a big boy now? You stay up late?
You think you're grown now? You're still up late?
I was in the lion's den when you was playing Snake
I was in dangerous situations when you were playing a simple video game
Such a fucking snake, you love to hate
You're a deceitful person, you enjoy harboring hatred
I still have my asthma pump, and I ain't never tucked my chain
I still carry my asthma inhaler, and I have never hidden my necklace
This a one-of-one, custom-made
This is a unique item, made specifically for me
Mum says I've gone crazy, I'm just stuck in my ways
My mother thinks I've lost my mind, but I'm just set in my habits
