JME - Serious Lyrics

[INTRO:]
J-M-E,
A simple music lesson, think about it.

[VERSE 1:]
Everybody thinks to MC tough,
Your lyrics must be about negative stuff,
Go raving no-ones skanking,
Turn round I bet you someones shanking,
Just cause we come from the gutter,
And we know about scraping the bottom of the butter,
Don't mean we have to be sinners,
Major labels don't want killers,
Think, who's gunna sign a guy with a shank,
Or a guy with a 9 mil,
All you're gunna get is a 3 figure deal,
MC at a rave and get a bill,
But that bill ain't gunna last,
It will go fast and it mite be the last,
Shorts for a while so you won't have no dough for a while.

[CHORUS:]
To the beat,
Just bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance to the beat,
Just bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance or lean back,
Then bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance to the beat,
Then bob ya head to the remix.

[VERSE 2:]
Don't talk to me about lyrics,
I know all your little gimmicks,
I know about rhyming dictionaries,
And I know about rhymes you got complete,
Go write some intelligent bars,
So man you know more than just cars,
Shanks, money,
Shanks, gash,
Shanks, weed,
Shanks, please,
Thanks cause recently,
I've been on a good vibe reason is cause,
I'm not average or decent,
And it's hard to write lyrics like these,
I mean it ask any artist,
Task any artist to write a bar that's positive,
Not talkin bout breasts
Or our bullet proof vests,
See I'm the best,
Imagine if every single MC lived by their word,
It word be impossible to get anywhere,
Cause gun shots would have occurred,
You couldn't even go to the video shoot,
Cause man would go to the video shoot,
Den he'd get away leaving feds and ambulances,
At your video shoot.

[HOOK:]
SERIOUS, You're not,
SERIOUS, Don't say,
SERIOUS, I say,
SERIOUS, Wanna get,
SERIOUS, Let's get,
SERIOUS, You can't have,
SERIOUS, So don't say,
SERIOUS, Talk bout,
SERIOUS, You're not,
SERIOUS, Don't say,
SERIOUS, I say,
SERIOUS, You wanna get,
SERIOUS, Let's get,
SERIOUS, You can't have,
SERIOUS, So don't say, SERIOUS.

[VERSE 3:]
All this talk about reppin your endz,
I'm not making anymore friends,
It's an eder ting,
How long is it gunna take to realise it needs to end,
You're a waste man if your 29,
I ain't so posing by a road sign,
Think about your lifetime,
Before you hit 40 with a shank and a 9,
You need to start growing up,
Lyrics make you sound like you don't know enough,
You'll never be blowing up,
You make me sick like a drunk person throwing up,
Don't ignore me I'm writing politics,
About being bought by your brand new sword,
Don't act dumb,
Wiley warned you the level of MCing is going up,
Everybody is J-M-E,
Do not come try floss around me,
I don't care bout your J-A-C-O-B,
I'll munch you up like a BLT,
At last yeah it's me JME,
You won't have no waste man, just stay with me,
Cause I've got big DJ's playing me,
So don't say my name if you're not playing me.

[HOOK:]
SERIOUS, You're not,
SERIOUS, Don't say,
SERIOUS, I say,
SERIOUS, Wanna get,
SERIOUS, Let's get,
SERIOUS, You can't have,
SERIOUS, So don't say,
SERIOUS, Talk bout,
SERIOUS, You're not,
SERIOUS, Don't say,
SERIOUS, I say,
SERIOUS, You wanna get,
SERIOUS, Let's get,
SERIOUS, You can't have,
SERIOUS, So don't say, SERIOUS.

[CHORUS:]
To the beat,
Just bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance to the beat,
Just bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance or sing or play or lean back or do the vocal, or do the old school grandad dance,
Just bob ya head to the beat.
SERIOUS, to the beat,
Just bob ya head to the beat,
It's J-M-E.
