Serious

JME

A simple music lesson

Think about it

Everybody thinks to MC tough

Your lyrics must be about negative stuff

Go raving, no one's skanking

Turn 'round, I bet you someone's 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 gonna sign a guy with a shank?

Or a guy with a nine mill?

All you're gonna get is a three figure deal

You'll MC at a rave and get a bill

But that bill ain't gonna last

It will go fast and it might be the last

Chips for a while

So you won't have no dough for a while

To the beat, just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance or lean back

Then bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

You're not serious

Don't say serious

'Cause I say serious

You wanna get serious

Let's get serious

You can't act serious

So don't say serious

About serious

You're not serious

Don't say serious

'Cause I say serious

You wanna get serious

Then let's get serious

You can't act serious

So don't say serious

Everybody says that garage should stop

'Cause it's cheap like Calypso or tip-top

MCs turn UK hip-hop

Scared their debut album will flop

I'm flogging food like a chip shop

So I'll fall back on that if this flops

Plus I got units, so if shit pops

Off with the cops, trust me, I've got it locked

How comes every single MC is vexed?

It's like the whole point of emceeing nowadays

Is to get a reload on the decks

Man will go to radio on Thursday

Even though it's his birthday

He'll spit lyrics likes it's the worst day in his life

It's not serious

To the beat, just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Then bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance or a little bogle

Just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

You're not serious

Don't say serious

'Cause I say serious

You wanna get serious

Let's get serious

You can't act serious

So don't say serious

About serious

You're not serious

Don't say serious

'Cause I say serious

You wanna get serious

Then let's get serious

You can't act serious

So don't say serious

Everybody knows you're some goody-goody

That screw face and that Rocawear hoodie

Just ain't working, sorry brethren

I'm Buzz Lightyear and you come like Woody

Look at my man bigging up his chest

Looks like he's tryna grow some breasts

Stop that before you get an arch back

I don't know who my man's tryna impress

Everybody knows that I shot O's

And I make P's from Q's like Kano

Under my tongue is where they go

Shot in since Wiley had cane row

To make dough you need sense

I still don't throw away five pence

One cat thought I was dense

Owed me a lump sum and he tried jump some fence

To the beat, just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Then bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance or signal the plane

Just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

You're not serious

Don't say serious

'Cause I say serious

You wanna get serious

Let's get serious

You can't act serious

So don't say serious

About serious

You're not serious

Don't say serious

'Cause I say serious

You wanna get serious

Then let's get serious

You can't act serious

So don't say serious

Serious

I hope everybody takes something away with them from this lesson today
