123
JME Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

You don't have to reach for the sky
This is a Myspace exclusive

1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3
(And it's called like 1, 2, 3)
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3 (I will proceed all over the track)
Just like 1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3 (You do not download my shh)
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3
Serious!

I'm Jamie, I'm the MC
Everybody wants to be 1
It's easy for me to MC
But it's not the same for everyone
And just 'cause you see me MC
Don't think that you can be one
Bruv you're swag, laters, bless
Safe, bye, gwan
I won't clash none of these MCs
Before we start I've already won
This is grime, it's not rap
JME, not Raekwon
Dun know the MySpace dot com forward slash
Aaron B.B.R 1
I'm like Neo from The Matrix
But in the music 'cause I am the 1
(Yep, I am the one)

1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3
(And it's called like 1, 2, 3)
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3 (I will proceed all over the track)
Just like 1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3 (You do not download my shh)
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3
Serious!

I made a tune called "Serious"
And it's about not having a 2 2
'Cause I'm individual
Not 'cause I'm scared like a girl in a tutu
I shoulda won the grime Nobel Peace Award
Like Desmond Tutu
See I stayed in school, got my degree
Even if I get a 2 2
I've done it, time waste for no-one
This year I was 2-2
My dad wants me to do a Masters
And my mum wants me to too
They want me to do everything
I bet they want me to climb Timbuktu too
But I'm just gonna do music
Beyond 2 thousand and 2 2
(Exclusive)

1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3 (I will proceed all over the track)
Just like 1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3 (You do not download my shh)
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3
Serious!

If I get famous, you'll still see me
I go forward right by 3 3 3
I'm Jamie, don't watch JME
I do what I want, I'm free free free
Wiley's my bredrin, he's got an album
Gave it to me for free free free
Put it in my PC, track 16
When it got to 3 3 3
I got my lyric book, started barsing
Rhythm set my mind free free free
I'm writing a lot, unlikely to stop
Look at the clock blud it's 3 3 3
Gonna write more, that's what I'm here for
Give it to you lot for free free free
I'm an angel, I cut the devil in half
I cut him down to 3 3 3

1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3 (I will proceed all over the track)
Just like 1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3 (You do not download my shh)
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3
Serious!

(Just...)
(It's easy like...)
(Just like 1 2 3)
(Boy Better Know dot com)
(Myspace dot com forward slash JME Serious)
(Dun know the Myspace dot com forward slash derkhe...)
(Hold tight my bredrins then)

1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3
It's easy like 1, 2, 3
Yeah like 1, 2, 3
Just like 1, 2, 3




Just like 1, 2, 3
It's easy like 1, 2, 3...
