Signs in Life - Intellectual

[Chorus: Kano]

There are lots of signs in life

Some that you may not like

You could be living this minute

The next minute, you're gone away

So hold up your heads, my brothers

And be conscious, my sisters

And by your words, you will get paid

[Verse 1: Kano]

True, you can move food on the street

Did a bit of that, got bored of that

Didn't move the brown or the crack

Use to pick up for the fact

I could make more back by breaking down to scores and that

Stack to buy out the stores and that

Didn't give a shit about loads of that

But I did give a shit about getting locked up

Or get boxed up, sentenced you'll get about 4 for that

Crap, you ain't so rich now

I bet you feel like a prick now

'Cos where's all your fancy shit now

Where's your whips, chicks and your bits now

Shit, you should have fixed up

Fuck drugs, the mic you should have picked up

And it was all for the big bucks

Now you're sitting in a cell doing sit ups

Blood I told you this shit's fucked

The ghetto lifestyles too much

If I bust, be proud of me

You can't take it out of me

So I'm a bit stuck

But, I got too much to lose now

Love my life, and I don't wanna lose out

I'm still about, I'm home sweet home

In the ends, like I don't wanna move out

I'm too bad

[Chorus: Kano]

There are lots of signs in life

Some that you may not like

You could be living this minute

The next minute, you're gone away

So hold up your heads, my brothers

And be conscious, my sisters

And by your words, you will get paid

[Verse 2: Kano]

Look, you can do moves on the street

I'd rather spit bars on the beat

I'd rather that than lick cars every week

But jack is when I split scars with the heat

So I'm so low like the guitars and the beat

But this rhyming shit is for me

I live this, drink this, eat this, shit this

And I've even writ bars in my sleep

But I ain't on hype, I've had enough phase

Ghetto's probably inside, hope he buss case

That undergrounds like road this, a tough race

You can be living this minute, then gone again like mum you was right

And I was wrong again

But I'm strong again

Still moved on again

Ten more minutes and I writ another song again

If I can do it, you can I'm a true fan

Up and coming MC's big up you man

The doors open but I ain't through man

I'mma ball through like a cue Dan

Watch me, ain't gonna let no-one stop me

UK I'm gonna break you properly

And if you ain't gonna watch me do that, move back

Who's that? K-A … I knew that

And I know its not easy, and I know what you're feeling

Just believe me

[Chorus: Kano]

There are lots of signs in life

Some that you may not like

You could be living this minute

The next minute, you're gone away

So hold up your heads, my brothers

And be conscious, my sisters

And by your words, you will get paid

[Verse 3: Kano]

That's why I don't feel I'm safe

I fear I'm bait, but I can't put my skills to waste

Because if you're living by the gun you surely will get blazed

I still don't blaze, refuse to smoke my life away

Refuse to die before I try then put the mic away

This life of K, is just one big hype for praise

Write, night, record then start to write again

But I'm just saying, back on hype of Kane

But only I'm to blame

Today I saw the signs again, and it's not a good look

But "that's life" they say, crime pays

And I'll stop crime whenever this grime decides to pay

But grime ain't making me meals

So I'm picking up a 9 today

And spitting ain't getting me deals

But this shits just getting real

[Chorus: Kano]

There are lots of signs in life

Some that you may not like

You could be living this minute

The next minute, you're gone away

So hold up your heads, my brothers

And be conscious, my sisters

And by your words, you will get paid

[Outro: Kano]

This shit's just getting real
