96 Fuckries
JME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm J to the M to the E, I make G-R-I-M to the E
I make you bop your head to the beat
From the S-W to the N to the E
Bare M to the Cs thought they could swim with the sharks until they entered the Sea
BLUKU! Big up N to the G
Footsie, D to the E to the E
I show bare love like I did a E
Been like this from I entered the scene
Yeah, grime, I rep to the T
140, yeah I kept to the beat
If you want a badboy grime remix then just give me or Skepta the P, safe!
You hype too much, but I don't see you fight too much
That's why you're not liked too much
You've been snorting the white too much
You man swear on your life too much
Careful or you might die too much
Bare MCs just lie too much
If not then they say like too much
Easy peasy similes used frequently really gets on my nerves
Reason Jme's lyrically sick? Recently I don't pet with my words
Beef me? Really you're chatting all street see but you don't step on the curb
These fake greezy MCs come against me, but see I rep for the nerds
I was out the game but now I'm inside
Met some of my best pals in grime
Richard Cowie, baddaman James McCabe
And Jahmek Power inside
Tempa T said "shower down time"
Take music serious no lies
And now my bad boy Megazord whip's got more features than iOS5
Juju man, voodoo doer
Mike Lowery any YouTube viewer
Original dead girlfriend slewer
So I don't care what you do to her
Stop chatting shit, poo poo chewer
Came from the gutter, came from the sewer
Any man that chats poop I will take out your eyeball with a bamboo skewer!
I roll with Aaron and Aaron
Frequently I get stopped by the gammon
Because my whip looks like it should be owned by Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Hammond
Feds pull me like I'm a drug baron
Chatting bare shit, can't understand 'em
In the stereo I got Krept & Konan
In the boot I got my creps and my Canon
I don't own a BlackBerry
Ask for my pin and get slapped heavy
Call me a rude kid or a maniac but beats?
I ain't sharing 'em like Teddy
The only thing I will share like Jack is lyrics
I'll spray whenever you're ready
Don't ask why I'm looking in your boat
With your big head fam, you've got a ferry
I ain't a killer but D.P.M.O
Run up on guys with the green leaf camo
Badboy Eleven Paris leather jacket
Fall back, it's not CP famo
See my black lips on your TV channel
Bare MCs wanna be me, I know
You will never be like Jme
I told you on my last CD rago
I had a durag straight at birth
God sent me here to make shit worse
Nobody wants a punch in the face
Cause when you get punched in the face it hurts
Jump in the whip, spaceship turbz
Open my drink, shake it first
When I drive my car, don't move fam
The wheels turn and they drapes the earth
I am so raw in a rave
Jme, encore on stage
As soon as I spit one four and an eight
I will leave the dance floor in a state
You're not lord of the place
You jacked couple guys before with your mates
Your not a badman cause you robbed someone fam
You're just poor and brave!
Beef? Slam doors in your face
Uppercut, leave your jaw in a brace
Man will draw for the hadak-dak-douken
Leave you on the floor snoring away
MCs think they're raising the bar by spitting on fourteen genres a day?
Safe, raising the bar makes it easier for me to score anyway!
One take
JME's song "96 Fuckries" is a classic grime track that showcases his brilliance as a rapper. In the first verse, JME declares that he doesn't care about terms and conditions but instead focuses on making grime music that people can jam to. He also highlights his ability to make people bop their heads to the beat, and mentions his roots in South West, North, and East London. He then talks about how MCs thought they could stand up to him but were ultimately unsuccessful. He also recognizes and shouts out his fellow grime artists Footsie and D Double E.
In the second verse, JME asserts that his lyrical prowess is what distinguishes him from other MCs. He is able to rap about real-life experiences and issues, and create artful lyrics that aren't just simplistic similes. He is also unapologetically himself and doesn't care for fake MCs who try to imitate him. He references many cultural figures, such as Tempa T, Richard Cowie, James Mccabe, and even Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame. He ends the verse by stating that his beats can't be shared, but his lyrics can.

I don't care about your terms and conditions
I'm J to the M to the E, I make G-R-I-M to the E

If you want a badboy grime remix then just give me or Skepta the P, safe!
If you want a dope grime remix, come to me or Skepta
You hype too much, but I don't see you fight too much
You talk a big game but you don't back it up with actions
That's why you're not liked too much
That's why not everyone likes you
You've been snorting the white too much
You've been doing too much cocaine
You man swear on your life too much
You guys make too many false promises
Careful or you might die too much
Be careful, you might die prematurely
Bare MCs just lie too much
Many MCs just tell lies in their music
If not then they say like too much
If not lies, then they overuse the word 'like'
Easy peasy similes used frequently really gets on my nerves
Overusing easy similes annoys me
Reason Jme's lyrically sick? Recently I don't pet with my words
The reason I'm a skilled lyricist is that I don't hold back in my writing
Beef me? Really you're chatting all street see but you don't step on the curb
Are you really trying to start a fight with me? You talk tough but you don't go through with it
These fake greezy MCs come against me, but see I rep for the nerds
These fake tough MCs try to challenge me, but I represent for the nerds and the real hip-hop fans
I was out the game but now I'm inside
I took a break from making music but now I'm back
Met some of my best pals in grime
I made some of my closest friends in the grime music scene
Richard Cowie, baddaman James McCabe
Shoutout to Wiley and Jammer
And Jahmek Power inside
And shoutout to my boy Jamakabi
Tempa T said "shower down time"
Tempa T said it's time to shine

Take music seriously and be honest

My sleek car has more features than the iPhone software
Juju man, voodoo doer
African spiritualist who casts spells
Mike Lowery any YouTube viewer
Mike Lowery, a popular YouTuber
Original dead girlfriend slewer
I make original music about killing girlfriends
So I don't care what you do to her
I don't care what you do to my music
Stop chatting shit, poo poo chewer
Stop talking nonsense
Came from the gutter, came from the sewer
I came from a rough background
Any man that chats poop I will take out your eyeball with a bamboo skewer!
I will harm anyone who talks nonsense
I roll with Aaron and Aaron
I hang out with two people named Aaron
Frequently I get stopped by the gammon
Police often stop me
Because my whip looks like it should be owned by Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Hammond
My car looks like something owned by the hosts of Top Gear
Feds pull me like I'm a drug baron
Police treat me like a drug dealer
Chatting bare shit, can't understand 'em
They talk nonsense and it's hard to understand them
In the stereo I got Krept & Konan
I listen to Krept & Konan in my car
In the boot I got my creps and my Canon
In the trunk I have my trainers and my camera
I don't own a BlackBerry
I don't have a BlackBerry phone
Ask for my pin and get slapped heavy
If you ask for my BlackBerry pin, I'll hurt you
Call me a rude kid or a maniac but beats?
You can call me rude or crazy, but my music beats everything
I ain't sharing 'em like Teddy
I won't share my beats like Teddy Bears
The only thing I will share like Jack is lyrics
The only thing I will share is my lyrics, like Jack and Jill
I'll spray whenever you're ready
I'll rap whenever you're ready for it
Don't ask why I'm looking in your boat
Don't ask why I'm looking in your direction
With your big head fam, you've got a ferry
You have a big head like a ferry boat
I ain't a killer but D.P.M.O
I'm not a killer but don't piss me off
Run up on guys with the green leaf camo
I approach people wearing camouflage clothing
Badboy Eleven Paris leather jacket
I have a tough leather jacket from Eleven Paris
Fall back, it's not CP famo
Stop trying to act tough, it's not a Child's Play situation
See my black lips on your TV channel
You'll see me rapping on TV
Bare MCs wanna be me, I know
Many MCs want to be like me
You will never be like Jme
You will never be like me
I told you on my last CD rago
I said it already on my last album
I had a durag straight at birth
I've always had a durag since birth
God sent me here to make shit worse
I'm here to make things even more chaotic
Nobody wants a punch in the face
No one wants to be punched
Cause when you get punched in the face it hurts
Getting punched in the face hurts
Jump in the whip, spaceship turbz
Get in the car, it's like a spaceship
Open my drink, shake it first
I shake my drink before opening it
When I drive my car, don't move fam
When I drive my car, don't touch anything
The wheels turn and they drapes the earth
The wheels turn and make the car look cool
I am so raw in a rave
I go hard in a party
Jme, encore on stage
JME, encore performance on stage
As soon as I spit one four and an eight
As soon as I rap one verse and an eight-bar chorus
I will leave the dance floor in a state
I'll make the audience go crazy
You're not lord of the place
You're not the king of the party
You jacked couple guys before with your mates
You stole from a few guys with your friends
Your not a badman cause you robbed someone fam
You're not tough just because you stole from someone
You're just poor and brave!
You're just poor and trying to act tough
Beef? Slam doors in your face
Don't try to pick a fight with me
Uppercut, leave your jaw in a brace
I'll hit you hard in the jaw and break bones
Man will draw for the hadak-dak-douken
I'll use a powerful martial arts move to knock you out
Leave you on the floor snoring away
Leave you unconscious on the ground
MCs think they're raising the bar by spitting on fourteen genres a day?
MCs think they're improving by rapping over many genres daily?
Safe, raising the bar makes it easier for me to score anyway!
It's fine, it's easier for me to outperform them and score anyways
