Forefather Lyrics

[Hook: Kano]
We get it, you gas, apple juice in your old champs
New beamer, mum's house, chandeliers in council flats
You man talk but you don't ball out, we refill when the drinks all out
Too many gangsters, not enough gyal, too much dancefloor, not enough skanks
From EQ, Powerhouse, touch mic, bun it down
It's Kano in the house, it's Kano in the house
Youse copy, all cats, follow fashion youse all sad
Borrow this with your borrowed swag, two bag suit and it ain't off rack
Sounding like some old school K.A, sounding like some old school K.A
Sounding like some old school Kano, same Kano that bodied niggas on radio


[Verse 2: Kano]
Kanye West can't dress like me
Hugh Heff can't sex like me
Evian can't fresh like me
Might see me in a fresh crisp white tee
Murder the dance til it rest I.P
Balenciaga's dress my feet
Young Sam Jack in effect I need
Star Wars money yeah Jedi P's (Breath)
Gimmie the grey goose I rave to the death
Think of the papers I'm able to spend
When you think of the hating you may wanna send
Nigga do me a favour and pay me respect
Never been about majors and making a check
'Coz I been about ages
And K's a legend
And I'm making the papers with papers and pens
[Hook: Kano]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
