Layer Cake Kano

[Intro]
You're born; you take shit
Get out in the world; you take more shit
Climb a little higher; take less shit
Til one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere, and you've forgotten what shit even looks like
Welcome to the layer cake, son

[Verse 1: Kano]
Check, check Check Check
I’m two albums deep a thousand shows in
Cause I fight for the right til the towel gets thrown in
We hustle down here, knuckles 'round here
Never stays pretty when you're raised in the city
It's a place full of hatred where they wanna stick me
Cause I'm making my statments and they think too quickly
I'm a victim to criticism, menace to society
Cause I’m in a position where many do admire me, (huh)
But there's always an obstacle, just move left but the stress ain't optional
It’s all bless but nah, you forget, you've gotta do better you can’t do your best
Crucial how you move cause you'll lose your breath
And this music will follow you to death
Do us part, now you're married to the game
With no footsteps to follow: pave the way
Eh, that's the layer cake, play your position
It's too fucked let me explain how the biz is
Too real, you feel that you're in control but you ain't, you're stuck in the layer cake
