Kano Fightin' The Nation (Prod. By Kano, Fraser T. Smith) Lyrics

police and thieves in the street
fightin the nation with their
guns and ammunition
guns and ammunition

late night roam the street like a fox on the road
16, experiment a little heroin and c__e
room full of c__e cans syringes
poster over the hole where po-po kicked the door off the hinges
6 kids all living in a flat no jobs no dough every dealer on his back
mums on her own drunk when she comes home
days on end sleeps out and don't phone
daddy don't exist such a cliche these days
so he looks up to the G's, theives
whatever he makes G's take and call it a clean slate
until one day he said he had a job for him, paid
and said "all you have to do is wait
outside 1 crib and tell me when the brother comes in
and who the brothers with and if the s___ goes to plan you can earn a jib
thats what i call quick dough but what he didn't know that the G was a snitch
and the brother in the crib were selling guns and cutting bricks
and he just phoned the G when the brother rolled in and told him
he was with about 5 man and 1 chick and next thing you know theres armed police at the crib
sirens so loud he's tryna read the fed's lips
and what sounds like "put your hands behind your head"
was actually "make one more move, and we shoot your a__ dead"

police and thieves in the street
fightin the nation with their
guns and ammunition
guns and ammunition

Look how many youths have got guns on 'em, bustin' 'em
Eyes on the back of their heads, can't see infront of them.
Enough of 'em, time to f___ with 'em
Yeah I got 99 problems and London's one of 'em
Youths have lost lives from Stratford to Riverside
And all they care about is if they lost stripes
I ain't no preacher MC, I'm feeling MC's,
but dig a little a deeper like dynamite
And I know I say some bullshit in moments of anger,
And it's not cool for the fan club
Just the other day we we're up late discussing Iraq,
Over a glass of champagne, how f___ed is that?
I ain't celebrating s___ - If I ain't using my status to make a change, I ain't ever making hits
A wise man told me Kane listen,
If you want to fly like an eagle you can't fly with pigeons,
an eagle I am for a reason I am, but how the f___ you supposed to make it out of Eastham when there's...

police and thieves in the street (and it's easy to end in a police van when they're...)
fightin the nation with their
guns and ammunition
guns and ammunition
