JME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's JME
Serious
Boy Better Know, CEO
Boy Better Know, CEO
That's me, JME, so shh hut yuh muh
You need to type up your CV, Microsoft Word
Stop MCing, go to the shops
Have a drink, it's me JME
Big lyrics, chat these daily
On front line like a Israeli
Had enough now, F' you pay me
What? Your lyrics are poor
Don't compare them to mine, I'm raw
And uncut, you best look at the floor
That's what I thought, awoh
I'm a MC
When I'm not on duty
I go home build tunes on Fruity
I put the TV on mute
Have a drink, but I don't blaze
I'm a badman
I don't run out of fuel
Any MCs wanna come have a duel?
About you ain't heard of me
You dun know I'm the JM...
Boy better know I'm a P-R-O
Boy better know, P-R-O
That's me, JME, so shh hut yuh muh
JME, I roll on my own
You'll see me, but not my cainrow
If you try mess with my durag
I will dislocate your nose
Furthermore I'll sprain your lip
Plain and simp'
Box you up as if you are David Blaine and shit
You should sit and pray, I quit
You will time travel, knock you out
Make you see later, quick
When you wake up, blatant sick, Awoh
I'm a MC
When I'm not on duty
I go home build tunes on Fruity
I put the TV on mute
Have a drink, but I don't blaze
I'm a badman
I don't run out of fuel
Any MCs wanna come have a duel?
About you ain't heard of me
You dun know I'm the JM...
Boy better know, where I go
Boy better know, where I go
Yes me, JME, so shh hut yuh muh
Live in north, uni in south
Radio in east, so shut your mouth
Don't talk to me about ends
I will chief up all of your friends
Everybody knows JME
In videos, on TV
Don't get rude, blud, I said don't get rude
Look out for my face
You'll see it more and more each day
On billboards, cause I'm the best
You can't ignore, Awoh
I'm a MC
When I'm not on duty
I go home build tunes on Fruity
I put the TV on mute
Have a drink, but I don't blaze
I'm left-handed
My mum calls me lefty
I got serious lyrics, they're hefty
But my name ain't Geoff
Can you hear me, are you..?
My name's Jamie, I am my own person
Shh, or situation will worsen
I don't try MC like you, cause I don't want to be like..
I'm a badman
I don't run out of fuel
Any MCs wanna come have a duel?
About you ain't heard of me
You dun know I'm the JM...
In "Awoh", JME proclaims his status as the CEO of his own record label, Boy Better Know. He encourages his detractors to focus on improving their resume instead of wasting time trying to compete with him in the music world. JME also highlights his commitment to his craft, mentioning his love for building tunes even when he's not on duty. He further establishes his tough persona, warning anyone who tries to mess with him or his durag that they'll face the consequences. He ends the song by boasting about his increasing fame and success, insisting that he's the best and cannot be ignored.
The song's lyrics reveal JME's confidence and swagger, but they also showcase his artistic integrity and work ethic. He takes pride in being a self-made CEO and artist, not relying on anyone else's help to achieve his goals. He takes his craft seriously and puts in countless hours to perfect it. Additionally, JME's lyrics critique the "wannabes" who try to make it in the industry without putting in the same amount of effort that he does.
