Routine Check (album version) - The Mitchell Brothers/KANO/The Streets

Written by：The Streets/Mike Skinner

The good thing with the law these days right is that

Criminals know their rights better than their wrongs

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

Ten to nine Teddy tends to not have time that's when

Teddy wants to decline to entertain all your pisstaking jibes

I tell you my name I'm identified by and when the station

Verifies you'll realise what I tell you is right

Your hand dips inside my black Stan Smiths rustles my

CK boxers f**k's sake nearly grabbed man's dick cunt-stable

Sorry I didn't mean cunt-stable but that name feels so comfortable

And I find it so fun to talk

Cause cunt-stable ain't done nothing at all

I don't fit the description of the kid who kicked all them doors off

Their hinges listen mate I just spitted that anilic you and

Your sidekicks getting kicks off my side's embarrassment

But you'll see me end up in the van again

And you'll hear the cell door slam again

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

What's the problem officer

Just a routine check mate that's why we stopping you

This is the

Third time now must be popular never knew I had fans

Oh here's my autograph as you can

See it's all steady yeah I bought my car

Licence insurance it's all proper

Listen

I make that decision you just keep it

On guard Mr. Tony Mitchell from Manor Park with

Your saggy jeans looking like you so hard wearing jackets twice

Your size like you're carrying arms

You've got to

Stand here

What

You're having a laugh

If this is what I'm being held for kiss my ass

I showed you all my papers now what more do you need

Now come on son where you hiding all the weed

Is it in the glove compartment or under the seat

Behind the sun visor smart very neat now

Listen son you might as well tell me what you got

What you on about

Obviously your plan's flopped

Trying to put me wrist in cuffs I think not I know

I ain't got no skunk so just piss off

I'm Marvin I need to go to the chip shop pardon me

Sgt. Martin I've got to nip off

I wish I could stay but I can't be stopped maybe next time

We could all kick off

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

Aw man

What the f**k do you want from me

I just want to be left alone so don't even bother me

Interrupt me and accuse me wrongfully

I ain't got the time this is long for me

Blah blah blah Kane

Robinson twenty first of the fifth eighty five Forest Gate

Hospital

You know the kid's with a piston out of breath cause you

Lost them all you won't find a box of merck

So spare me the time of the stop and search

Two black boys and they got a Merc

If it was stolen why would we stop the Merc

You pulled us to try and find problems

Like Jay-Z and 99 Problems

I'm a bad boy anyway always got protection 99 Condoms

Yeah officer course I'm a thief dealing little drugs and my boot smell of weed

Run around the block saying f**k the police

I learnt that from a D-Block CD

So f**k your routine mind your own business never mind me

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

Oi oi I don't get many routine checks these bros are not the

Same apart from the day off that train from that Tottenham game

I do tend to end days in the police station

On occasion lately once a week maybe

I get a crime reference number for my most recent phone

The police code that's the code for a free phone

Take one camera phone tell them I got jacked of the phone

When in fact actually though the previous evening back at home

I played Babyfoot no-one jacked my phone

I madly gambled my phone and got smacked by my bro

Vacate the station with a pace back up the road

And hope next Saturday I won't lose my brand spanking phone

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps

What do you mean routine check

I didn't take this route to be checked

Sounds like you routinely check

Any youths in jeans and creps
