Strangers
Kano

It was KD crew, yeah, Kane and Dean

East Ham, Plaistow, with Maxwell Leyton dreams

You were one of the first to make me believe in my first 16s

But did the heights I reached jeopardise the dial and speak

But we go back since manor and ride-on-the-play scheme

District coach, one Walkman, one ear each

Napier Road, Black Pitch

One-day travel cards and Fat Chaps chips

We toured the country, took it overseas

Took it from the streets to The Streets

And if someone was in your ear

Just know my intentions was clear

I was helping us all, we

I made sure we was all there

It's kind of hard when you're the face of it

Was you jealous of my fame a bit?

Funny thing is, I don't even want these questions answered

I just wanna have a brandy and a laugh regardless

Instead of acting like we're strangers, yeah

Seven years ago was Shane's little one's christening

AB was there tryna put to bed all the bickering

He made a phone call to you in the toilets

Said someone wants to speak, gave me the phone to my annoyance

I said hello?, you must've heard my voice and hung up

I just heard the phone cut out and picked my rum up

And hit the dancefloor to some Mavado, finger gun up

Water off a duck's back, but truth be told, that hurt, my brother

What dem a do? What dem a try?

To make our friendship fly into the sky

I said in Celebrate that I ain't even met your kids

A falling out has made us look a fool for this

I can't pinpoint where the problem started at

Who's to blame or who should even claim half of that

If it's stubborn competition, we both win

So who would just pick up the phone?

Could even if we grew apart, we're still a partnership

So why we acting like we're strangers?

Why we acting like we're strangers?

Oh boy, we ain't strangers

I wrote those first two verses last year, last year

Then the other day, was raving in west end and I see you there

I see you there, bredrin, I see you there, yeah

And we didn't have that brandy but we laughed

Plus we drank some vodka and a half

Oi, if you're hugging mate but wearing all-black, is that still gangster?

Gangster or not, that's my damn darg

And things were back to normal for one night, that's enough

Just to let us know there's no grudge, it's all love

But we all carry scars, we're all cut, we're grown ups

Teenage no more, we're older, we've grown up

But the next day got me thinking what if I was the reason?

Or if the tables turned, whether I would be seated

Or if your battery died that night at that christening

And I thought you disrespected, what if it was just reception?

So the straw that broke the camel's back of this friendship

Maybe it wasn't the intention, but would symbolise the ending

Now, what if you thought I hung up

And for seven years, you've been hung up on the same shit that I was

I guess we'll never know, it's pointless digging deeper holes

Cause if we go down that road, these burnt bridges charge tolls

So I'd rather bromanticise about these things

And write a song about what-ifs, cause I could never write no diss

Cause that's my brother

That's my brother

So bruv, why we acting like we're strangers?

Why we acting like we're strangers?

Fumbling, we ain't strangers

Red Stripe vibes, ayy
