96 Bars of JME
JME Lyrics

Big up my mum, my dad, my brother, my sister, skepta
I give a shout out to my family and Skepta.

Hold tight wiley
Respect to Wiley.

Boy better know
BBK, my crew, let's get it.

See I got bare labels phoning me but
Record labels are calling me constantly, but

Cash point ain't showing me no love
My bank account isn't reflecting their interest in me.

Everyone's got my tunes on their phone
My music is popular and on everyone's playlists.

And the cd in the pc at home
People have my CDs in their computers at home.

Is packed with all of the tunes I've done
My CDs are filled with all the songs I've made.

But my wallet ain't saying one
But my money isn't reflecting that success yet.

You think I'm making mad p
You might think I am making lots of money,

All right! My money is angry with me
but the cash I have isn't enough to make my wallet happy.

It took me five years to get 10 A to C's
It took me five whole years to get decent grades in school.

But in five days I get 10 AC's
But I can make in five days what it took me five years to achieve with music.

Somebody out there please tell me
Can someone please tell me

What I'm'a do with my uni degree?
what am I supposed to do with my university degree?

I don't want a job
I don't want a regular job,

Blud I swear down
I swear,

I just wanna be a big mc
I just want to be a successful MC,

Or something along them lines
or something similar.

Swear on my life
I swear to God,

Music means so much to me
music is my life and passion.

Getting a degree to me is like a plan B
going to university was my backup plan.

It will mean so much to my family
though my family would be proud if I completed my degree.

But understand me
but you must understand

JavaScript makes me wanna swear like Plan B
coding makes me so frustrated, I might curse like Plan B.

I know it'll come in handy
I know computer programming will be useful for me in the future.

I stick with it even when I get angry
I persevere through the frustration and stick with it.

And I'm not on my own
I have my brother in the music industry who supports me.

I got a brother in this music game like Brandy
I have a brother in music who is like my sister Brandy.

He knows how much music means to me
he understands how important music is in my life.

We're just trying to make money legally
We're trying to earn our income legally without resorting to crime.

I know guys that'll creep in your house
I know people who will break into your home unlawfully.

Go upstairs
And go up the stairs,

Open your safe and steal a g
they'll open your safe and steal a grand.

That sounds like quick p to me
That sounds like a quick and easy way to make money, but

But still I travel on c-c
I still travel on the C-C train line,

And WAGN
And the WAGN train line too.

And Silverlink
And the Silverlink train line.

Everything's not what it seems to be
What you see isn't always what you get.

You think I'm stupid
Don't underestimate me

Move on
get over it,

Stereotype me
don't put me in a box,

I'll prove you wrong
I'm going to prove you wrong.

Ask anybody that knew me ages ago
Ask anyone who knew me a long time ago,

They'll say I had my head screwed on
They'll tell you that I was smart and had my life together.

Yeah JME that guy he's cool
Yeah, people think I'm pretty chill.

Trust me blud, he went to my school
Believe me, you went to school with me.

He made me a ring tone once
I even made a ringtone for someone once,

It was like Eskimo mixed into Oldschool
it was a mix of Eskimo and Old School-style beats.

To this day, I still ain't changed
To this day, I am still the same person.

JME, music in his veins
My love for music is ingrained in me.

Same face, same deranged
I may look the same, but I am still crazy unique.

Thoughts coming through the speaker each day
My thoughts are being broadcasted through my music.

Mum still shouting turn down the bass
My mom still yells at me to turn down the bass on my music.

Bredrins lounging around the place
My friends just hangin' around my pad.

I don't smoke but my room's smoked out
I don't smoke, but my room is full of smoke.

Can't see my hand in front of my face
It's so foggy, I can't see anything in front of me.

As if I'm in a time capsule
I feel like I'm stuck in a time bubble,

My pockets are still filled with shrapnel
My pockets are still filled with coins and small amounts of money.

Only difference, some of it's Euros
Now some of that small money is in Euros since I've traveled.

I've been travelling, capital to capital
I've been traveling from capital city to capital city.

I've been nuff countries I swear
I've visited many countries, I swear.

One day I'm a write them all down
I'm going to write them all down one day.

If you turn the clock the back 2 years
If you go back two years in time,

I don't think I'd have even left town
I don't think I would have even gone out of town.

But still I used to make hits
But I used to make hit records,

I was blessed with a lyrical art
I was fortunate to have a talent for writing lyrics.

The other mc's, they weren't shit
Other MCs couldn't touch my skills.

But they come like lyrical farts
Now people spit weak rhymes that are like gas.

And they stunk, I used to hate them
Their music was awful, and I hated it.

See nowadays I rate them
But nowadays, I respect them,

Not cause I think that they're down
not because they're good,

But for simply sticking around
but because they've stuck around in the game.

The bars are right, they're like red bull
Their rhymes are on point, it's like they've had Red Bull.

Trust blud, I got a whole shedfull
Believe me, I have a lot of rhymes.

Yeah sometimes I can be a hot head
Sometimes I get angry easily.

But more time my head's cool
But most of the time, I am calm and level-headed.

When I'm a hot head I don't get lyrical
When I'm angry, I don't write good rhymes.

I get serious, lyrically physical
I get aggressive and intense in my lyrics.

I start shouting stuff like derkhead
I might start calling people names like 'derkhead.'

And people think it's really cool
And some people think that's really cool.

In the mc rank I'm a piss take
In the hierarchy of MCs, people make fun of me sometimes,

Yeah blud I'm way before fifth place
But I'm still ahead of a lot of other rappers.

JME, everyone saw his face
JME, everyone knows who I am.

See now I've got about four mixtapes
And now I have four mixtapes released.

Trust me I know you're playin em
I know people are listening to them.

And all of my lyrics you're sayin em
And people are memorizing my rhymes.

Even your girl says Shuhut your mouth
Even your girl is telling you to shut up about me.

There's no escaping it's blatant
It's obvious that I'm a popular artist in the rap game.

Yo blud man better know
Listen up, people should know

No one test with the dibby dibby flow
Don't try to test my unique flow.

Flow round here on the mic I'm a pro
When I rap on the mic, my flow is professional.

Professional in the game and you know
I'm a professional in the rap game and you already know it.

All this war and clash is trash
All this beef and battle hype is garbage,

I'll make a tune or bore some gash
I'd rather make some good music or something.

Don't get rude
Don't be disrespectful,

I said don't get rude
I already told you not to be rude,

Or I will singe your tache
or else I'll burn off your mustache.

Yo blud stand over there
Hey, stand over there,

Dare you attempt to swear
Don't even think about cussing at me,

Swear down I'll burn your ear
I swear to God, I'll burn your ear.

Ere what blud you know I don't even care
Hey, what's up, I don't even care anyway.
