JME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't lying, I don't care man i ain't
Just say it wasn't you man
Nah man, I'm telling the truth
Just say you dunno who did it
You don't know who done it
Just say it weren't you man
But I do know who done it
I ain't lying lie innit
What am I gonna lie for? I
Ain't got nothing to hide
It all started off normal
No one was on a hype
But Skepta had a tool and all
I had was a knife
I said, "I'm gonna tell the truth
" but they all said I should lie
But I thought
"Why the hell should I flippin' lie
For? I got nothing to hide"
We was all getting ready, yeah
I could feel it was gonna kick off
My patience was drawing thin already as
Skepta took his coat off
I think that's when it all started you know
The hype of Skepta’s head
And plus, 'cause he had the tool in his hand
Nothing needed to be said
All I heard was bang! And I
Swear I heard something smashed
So I dropped the knife on the floor and I
Went to help Skepta 'cause I was baffed
But then when I got there
He was lying on the floor
And the whole place was a mess
There was a little bit of blood
But I expected more we all started arguing
As if that was gonna help the case
I was gonna call the ambulance but
I didn't want it to escalate
Yeah I know it sounds a bit dumb
I really should have picked up the phone
But I knew that any minute now
We was expecting you home
Jamie… yes mum?
Is Junior alright? Yeah, he’s alright man
Put your brother on the phone for me please
Let me speak to him
Nah he’s alright man he’s alright
It’s just a little cut
Have you called the police?
What are we calling the police for?
When I said Skepta had a tool
I didn't mean a gun, i meant a hammer
He was assembling your birthday present
He got you a wardrobe, i got you a camera
Then Julie came home from Ikea
'cause she went to get you a vase
And the reason I had a knife is 'cause
I was cutting your cake in half
Then Skepta started getting all hyper
Kept on mucking about with the tools
Then the hammer slipped from
His hand and smashed
The vase and scratched up your walls
That's when I heard the bang
I dropped the knife and went to go check
'Cause your surprise birthday party was
Just turning into a wreck
Don't worry it was nothing major
Julie was a bit upset
And Skepta cut his finger
And the front room was a mess
That's when we started arguing
About who was in the wrong
But don't worry I’ll buy you a new vase
Anyway happy birthday mum
Jason get me the dustpan whewwww
That's messy man look at the mess man, come
Ahh man see that's what you have to do man
I told you what to do man
Just tell the truth man
Yeah I know, I know, I know, ha, ha
See now you're gonna laugh, look
At you laughing man, i see
Ha, ha flippin' hell, can we tidy up
Let's tidy all this up before
Dad comes back, 'cause I ain't
Really into dad's shouting, you get me? Come
Yeah come then, come, come, come
Next time let's tell the truth innit, no lie

The explanation for me possessing a knife is because

And Skepta cut his finger
Additionally, Skepta injured his finger
