They're menacing bouncers I'll bet twenty kgs, I bet they probably lift houses So I guess a one on one just ain't the best way about this But this is my situation, every week, life's a bitch I'll probably get nominated and kicked out the Brits 'cause you're with your clique I'm with my clique Try it with me I'm kinda pissed, so mind the 'on' switch, Don't try it with me I'd rather kick that real finer chick Smiling with me I try my best to not be aggressive but It's one of those days It's always Kano getting in the madness Me I'm in the corner sippin' on Champers But for some reason, I gotta face the 'all' on a rampage It's so typical I'm no little fool And no I don't wanna sit and talk I take a Mo and sip it all Everyday it is so predictable When I don't mean the tunes we listen to I have mixed feelings but I dunno what I'm gonna do So here's what is and what isn't true It's just one of them days One of them raves Where some of us ain't in the mood for bouncers You might see me move some bouncers Here's what I do to bouncers 'cause you're on the door, and turn me away I'm moving to you I'm known to spoon, and knock with my fists I'll tuck your crew in I'm on the list, so don't take the piss That's what you're doing I'll try my best to not be aggressive But it's one of those days
