  • Some manors don't like me, they try and badmind me
    When Kano comes to town
    All I say is "mind's right", and they lose the limelight
    When Kano comes around
    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?
    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
    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
    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
    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
    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
    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 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 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 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 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

    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
    Please, from time you heard me shine
    Now I'm big from London to Merseyside
    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
    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
    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
    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
    You're all talk, you don't wanna rap with me
    There's no jokes or no pranks with me

    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 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 and I ain't with my crew
    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
    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
    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 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
    No whip, out the manor linking chicks
    That's slipping, that's slipping

    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 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 Writer/s: CLARK THOMAS FINN CHICESTER, KANE BRETT ROBINSON
