Plan B, Kano - Live Once lyrics

Everything will be okay yes it will
Come tomorrow we gonna see better days
No more sorrow

This is for the ones in
The slums, I'll be saying, "Wassup"
You ain't gotta be afraid no more
What the fuck?
Why you walking with your head
Down low? Pick it up, pick it up
You only live once

And you can be anything you wanna be
There ain't nothing stopping you
Just like there weren't no stopping me
I'm from the east end where
Peeps used to speak cockney
Now it's so multicultural no
One speaks properly
Rhyming slang was invited on the docks
To put a block on police


Now the docks ain't there and no
One cares cus they shotting B
But still talking code like morse
It ain't no mock-ney
But educated people still see it as a mockery
That's why they use our slang
Against us to be derogatory
We just fuel the fire
With our thugged-out philosophies
Like crime's the only way we're
Gonna feed off this economy revert to type
Give out these self-fulfilling prophecies
But we ain't no different from them, honestly
Luck's the only reason they
Weren't born into poverty
So never be afraid to say whats
In your heart, follow your dreams
Or wanna be something that they say you
Can't, because I promise, g

Everything will be okay yes it will
Come tomorrow we gonna see better days
No more sorrow

Don't make me get Illmatic on them
Talking about them cats and robbers
Hustlin' them 16s
I guess I'm still trapping on them
Rolex watch and I still ain't
Got no bachelor honours
Man was from the Ends
I was influenced by Spragga Benz and shottas
Still we didn't throw no hats in the air
My man was in the studio
With hats and them snares
Who thought we would have made it
To the BAFTAs this year?
When man was just a pickney
With dax in my hair
Anyway we're gonna shine, blue collar crime
The only thing thats good about the
Hood is that we're colour blind
Common goal, common enemy, economise
And still personify
A nigga trying not to live a common life
Don't let them make you hate yourself
I'm like low batties
Everywhere I go is like a
Hate chain on my belt her amaze
At her age she shouldn't be
Having no more babies
Put that lady in her place
You think she's scamming for a
Bigger place to stay?
Maybe you should try staying in her place
Plus a plasma on the wall
Can't change the personality
Of a ill mannered mentality, damaged goods

Everything will be okay yes it will
Come tomorrow we gonna see better days
No more sorrow

This is for the ones in the slums
I'll be saying wassup
You ain't gotta be afraid no more
What the fuck?
Why you walking with your head
Down low? Pick it up, pick it up
You only live once
This is for the ones in the slums
I'll be saying wassup
You ain't gotta be afraid no more
What the fuck?
Why you walking with your head
Down low? Pick it up, pick it up
You only live once

Life is like a game of Monopoly
The ones that get a head start
Buy up all the properties
Start acting like they're aristocracy
And make the latecomers pay the price
For not rolling the dice properly
They might be winning now but
Success is a false economy
Playing a game of chance
Whether recklessly or responsibly
Lady Luck's no brass, can't buy her love
It comes for free she's a slut, no class
Picks up random dudes she wants to treat
Yeah she could be warm with you on Oxford
Bond or Regent Street
She'll be gone once you pass go
Along with your winning streak
Land on Old Kent Road
The end you deemed was way too cheap
To invest in
And you left him but wish you hadn't
Now you deep in debt with
Peeps from Whitechapel East
Who got plastic red Ibis-esque
Hotels on every street
Sucking all your fake P's
Until you can't receive
Even though it's only make-believe
That's a metaphor for life
The only one you'll ever need believe

Everything will be okay yes it will
Come tomorrow we gonna see better days
No more sorrow
