Boy Better Know
JME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With them two litter bars
Deadout, clash me you'll get en par
You know my face, Jamie Adenuga
I don't care what maddaman thinks
I heard your mixtape, blud it stinks
How you perform when you're on stage
Smells exactly like your mixtape
Jumping about, shouting rah, rah.
Doing bare things with their hands
Just how do you know man got bare fangs?
You ain't got no one but cats
About you got brethrins and that
Don't try a thing, man ain't a ediah
Tell you to shh hut yuh muh, deerkhead
Boy Better Know
When Jamie's about
Boy Better Know
When Jamie shouts
BOY BETTER KNOW!
You know what time it is
Boy Better Know
It's alot, it's alot
Boy Better Know
When Jamie's about
Boy Better Know
When Jamie shouts
BOY BETTER KNOW!
You know what time it is
Boy Better Know
Yo
There'll never gonna be a day when Jamie's quitted
More like he see me in a fitted
And a fresh trim, and a pullover knitted [? ]
Failed in an example, I'll reset it
Never be a day when Jamie's quitted
More like he see me in a kitted
Bust in metro, fully legited
Smoking inside the whip permitted
Never be a day when Jamie's quitted
More like he see me admit it
To mental home, with my legs splitted
Doing bare things with both for slit it [? ]
Never be a day when Jamie's quitted
More likely see me outwith it
In a two year relationship commited
To one of these dumb dumb female shitheads
Boy Better Know
When Jamie's about
Boy Better Know
When Jamie shouts
BOY BETTER KNOW!
You know what time it is
Boy Better Know
It's alot, it's alot
Boy Better Know
When Jamie's about
Boy Better Know
When Jamie shouts
BOY BETTER KNOW!
You know what time it is
Boy Better Know

The lyrics of "Boy Better Know" by JME contains a lot of references to the Grime music subculture in the UK. In the song, JME challenges other rappers who try to front and posture as better than him. He indicates that he is confident in his skills and in his standing in the Grime world. He warns those who disrespect him that they will face consequences like getting "clashed," or getting publicly put to shame. JME also references his website, boybetterknow.com, encouraging fans to visit and download his music. He finishes by telling anyone who might talk trash about him to shut up.
This song expresses JME's pride in his career and his ability as a rapper. He challenges other rappers to prove themselves against him, but ultimately reminds them that he is a force to be reckoned with in the Grime scene. The emphasis on his website and the importance of fans downloading his music highlights a desire for independence from traditional record label structures, which is common in grime.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know where you think you're going
I don't understand what plan you have for your career
With them two litter bars
Using weak lyrics won't do any good for you
Deadout, clash me you'll get en par
You won't be successful trying to compete with me
You know my face, Jamie Adenuga
You should recognize my name and face
I don't care what maddaman thinks
I'm not concerned about other people's opinions
I heard your mixtape, blud it stinks
Your mixtape is terrible
How you perform when you're on stage
Your live performance is not impressive
Smells exactly like your mixtape
Your live performance is as bad as your mixtape
When I spray, everybody get haps
When I rap, everyone gets excited
Jumping about, shouting rah, rah.
The crowd is jumping and shouting in enthusiasm
Doing bare things with their hands
The audience is making hand gestures while enjoying the performance
Just how do you know man got bare fangs?
How can you claim to be tough or dangerous?
You ain't got no one but cats
You have no real friends or supporters
About you got brethrins and that
You claim to have a crew but it's not true
Don't try a thing, man ain't a ediah
Don't attempt to mess with me, I'm not an easy target
Tell you to shh hut yuh muh, deerkhead
I'm telling you to be silent and stop being disrespectful
There'll never gonna be a day when Jamie's quitted
I won't retire from music anytime soon
More like he see me in a fitted
You'll see me wearing a stylish outfit
And a fresh trim, and a pullover knitted [? ]
I'm looking sharp, with a new haircut and a knitted sweater
Failed in an example, I'll reset it
If I make a mistake, I'll try again
More like he see me in a kitted
You'll see me wearing a full outfit or ensemble
Bust in metro, fully legited
I'll enter the scene with full confidence and authority
Smoking inside the whip permitted
I'm allowed to smoke inside my car
More like he see me admit it
You'll see me confessing to something if I made a mistake
To mental home, with my legs splitted
I'd rather go insane than give up my music career
Doing bare things with both for slit it [? ]
I'll go to extremes to maintain my passion for music
More likely see me outwith it
You'll see me continuing with my music career no matter what
In a two year relationship commited
I'm devoted to my music career as if it were a committed relationship
To one of these dumb dumb female shitheads
I won't waste my time with foolish women
