"JME is the best grime MC in the UK"
Certified Badman
JME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Serious, it's showtime jme with the rhymes
You chat a whole leap of
Crap about ozs and that
Blud, don't be a cac, go on
Show me the crack you need to go back to
Chatting 'bout phones being jacked
And I don't even rap
You can't beat me at nothing nowadays
Even you will say you've been blazed
When I put you in place
Put on my slewing face, do up my shoelace
Even with my legs tied
I'll beat you in the human race
I'm on the streets and I'm
Fully on this grime ting
Yeah, you know me, Jme, the grime king
I'm in your top three MCs
So if you've got beats then drop me them
Please
I don't chat shit when I spit, you feel it?
You can't match this when you spit, I mean it
I ain't gonna lie
The reason I did this remix
Is so I could talk slow like this
All day in the studio gets you off the roads
You know make tunes, pay me dough
Play them on the radio
Go to university and still got
Time to shot an O, 'cause
I'm a certified badman
Critics getting critical
Put me on a pedestal
I don't care, keep my cool
Lyrics always radical
You know me, Jme, big MC from back in school
'cause i'm a certified badman
I tried to draw this honey
That was on my road
She said I looked funny cause my bum was low
I said "So? Dummy? I ain't
Tryna be your hubby, no"
I told a hoe just like money
I will come and go if I was closer
I would've got a backhand slap
She tried to ring her man but
Her phone book's jam packed
Don't get your man involved
I'll get your man jacked
Him, his car, his house will get ransacked
Hands on her hip
She said her man's from the bit's
Like I'm prang of this prick
Who drives a banged-up whip
I'm getting angry and pissed
I'll punch your man in the lip
I'm gonna go and get my sis so
She can bang off this chick
Now you're shook and you can't
Even look straight at me
Tell your man look, straight up, it was Jme
If he wants to look for me, I will tell him
I was after the nookie like Eros and Jamesy P
All day in the studio gets you off the roads
You know make tunes, pay me dough
Play them on the radio
Go to university and still got
Time to shot an O, 'cause
I'm a certified badman
Critics getting critical
Put me on a pedestal
I don't care, keep my cool
Lyrics always radical
You know me, Jme, big MC from back in school
'cause i'm a certified badman
Jme, yeah? It's how we're doing it, certified
Hold tight Klashnekoff, yeah? K-Lash
Hold tight Sway, SAS
Serious, hold tight Skepta
Blud, hold tight Wiley, Roll Deep, Meridian
Bossman, Big H, Pablo, Dan, Meridian
President T certified, yeah?

Serious certified badman
The lyrics to JME's song "Certified Badman" are a mixture of braggadocio and storytelling through intricate rhyme schemes and wordplay. The song is driven by JME's confident persona as a grime MC who has "blown up" other artists' tracks without even rapping. He calls out other rappers who talk about ounces of drugs and phones being stolen, accusing them of being fake and lacking real experiences to rap about. He then asserts himself as a top-three MC in the grime genre, asking other artists to send him beats as he is always ready to spit lyrics.
In the second verse, JME's storytelling skills shine as he narrates an encounter with a woman on his road. He tries to hit on her, but she dismisses him, saying his bum is low. JME, unfazed, responds with witty banter, telling her he's not trying to be her husband and that he's just like money - he comes and goes. The woman threatens to call her man, but JME brushes it off, saying he knows her man and that he won't touch him, instead threatening to "get his sis so she can bang off this chick." The song ends with JME reasserting that he is a "certified badman" and shouts out various other grime MCs who he respects.

Don't be foolish, continue
Show me the crack you need to go back to
Show me the quality, otherwise you need to stop

Talking about stealing phones
'Cause I'm blowing up your tracks
My music is becoming more popular than yours
And I don't even rap
Despite not being a rapper, I'm still successful
You can't beat me at nothing nowadays
You're incapable of defeating me in any way now
Even you will say you've been blazed
Even you will admit to being defeated
When I put you in place
When I show you your position
Put on my slewing face, do up my shoelace
Get ready for a fight and prepare myself
Even with my legs tied
Even if it's harder for me

Thank you
I don't chat shit when I spit, you feel it?
I don't talk nonsense with my lyrics, can you sense it?
You can't match this when you spit, I mean it
You can't beat me when you rap, I'm serious
I ain't gonna lie
I'm telling the truth
The reason I did this remix
The purpose of this remix
Is so I could talk slow like this
Is because I wanted to try a different style of rapping
All day in the studio gets you off the roads
Spending all day in the studio keeps you away from the streets
You know make tunes, pay me dough
Making music pays me well
Play them on the radio
Broadcast them on radio stations
Go to university and still got
Attend university and still have
Time to shot an O, 'cause
Enough time to sell drugs, because
I'm a certified badman
I'm officially respected as a tough guy
Critics getting critical
Critics are becoming more demanding
Put me on a pedestal
Treat me like I'm above everyone else
I don't care, keep my cool
I don't let it affect me, I remain calm
Lyrics always radical
My lyrics are always edgy and unique
You know me, Jme, big MC from back in school
You're aware of me, JME, the popular emcee from school days
'cause i'm a certified badman
Because I'm officially recognized as a tough guy
I tried to draw this honey
I tried to attract this woman
That was on my road
Who lives on my street
She said I looked funny cause my bum was low
She insulted me by saying my pants are sagging
I said "So? Dummy? I ain't
I replied "So what? I'm not trying to be your boyfriend
Tryna be your hubby, no"
Trying to be your husband, no
I told a hoe just like money
I told a woman that I'm like money
I will come and go if I was closer
I will come and leave whenever I want if I lived near you
I would've got a backhand slap
I would've been slapped
She tried to ring her man but
She attempted to call her partner, but
Her phone book's jam packed
Her contact list is full
Don't get your man involved
Don't involve your partner
I'll get your man jacked
I'll rob your partner
Him, his car, his house will get ransacked
I'll steal everything from him, his car, and his house
Hands on her hip
Arms placed on her hips
She said her man's from the bit's
She revealed her partner is from a certain neighborhood
Like I'm prang of this prick
As if I'm afraid of this person
Who drives a banged-up whip
Who drives an old and worn-out car
I'm getting angry and pissed
I'm getting very upset and annoyed
I'll punch your man in the lip
I'll hit your partner in the mouth
I'm gonna go and get my sis so
I'll go and get my sister and
She can bang off this chick
She can fight this girl
Now you're shook and you can't
Now you're scared and you
Even look straight at me
Can't even look at me directly
Tell your man look, straight up, it was Jme
Tell your partner that it was me, JME
If he wants to look for me, I will tell him
If he wants to find me, I'll inform him that
I was after the nookie like Eros and Jamesy P
I was chasing after sex like the characters Eros and Jamesy P in the TV show 'Desmonds'
Jme, yeah? It's how we're doing it, certified
I'm JME, and that's how I roll, it's official
Hold tight Klashnekoff, yeah? K-Lash
Shout out to Klashnekoff, also known as K-Lash
Hold tight Sway, SAS
Shout out to Sway and SAS
Serious, hold tight Skepta
Seriously, shout out to Skepta
Blud, hold tight Wiley, Roll Deep, Meridian
Big up Wiley, Roll Deep, and Meridian
