Freestyle
JME Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speed it up a bit, ca' ya get me man ain't no clutz

I got more guns than Keanu from the Matrix full of lead
And I got more whips than a dominatrix's bedroom
They make great sounds, and I make pounds
The only time you push your whip, is when your bredren breaks down
And he'll be like, "oi blud, stop pushing, wait"
'Cause he see the car that I bought, from pushing weight
I don't mean getting hench on a bench pushing 40
I mean moving weight till the day I'm pushing 40
I'm a young hooligan so I don't need to fight
I'm from Meridian so I feed the fiends at night
I'm Nigerian, I represent the green and white
So come to me or Skepta if you want the green or white
You pricks think that I chose to be hated?
Nah man, I've always been musically orientated
I've been talented since birth
You should see how fast this kid learns
You just know when you've got it, like when your piss burns
Don't come to my spot and lick shots on your own
That's as off point, as a shop keeper on the phone
See if you've got a bit a' food and I'm in a bitter mood
You'll get blown up with a pump like an inner tube
I'm on point, when a car drives slow at me
If he's black, drive by
If he's white, CID
Either way, you gotta run like a greyhound
I go bookies and bet either way on a greyhound
Shotters don't know you and they don't know what ya like
When shotters want food, they ring me
'Cause I'm like, "What you want? 8 ball, I got bare with me"
You're like, "I'm reloading bruv, please bare with me"
Shut-yuh-muh
You're the type to have an argument and run out and shout
I'm the type to go 'round for 'round, bout for bout
I'll win the round and bout
Catch me at the round, 'cause I'll be there 'round about 10




Shooting rounds about
So shut-yuh-muh, dickhead, wasteman

[Verse 1: Skepta]
I'm calm
I've got the devil in my palm
Know I said that I wear sunglasses at night
But tonight I need to see wagwan
Wanna see somebody drop to the ground
No civilians, no doctors around
Who said life is priceless? So far your life cost me a pound
One phone call and a 10p text
All of my mandem, link up quick
We don't care what ends he reps
When I said he shoulda known, it weren't any old rhyme
Got a couple killers that are never online
Might see the shadow in a video of mine
Standing behind the camera with the director
Ready to shoot an MC one time

[Verse 2: Jme]
Where has everybody gone?
I'm not on that vibe that everybody's on
Some old lame old plain old blatant shame
Till you find out it ain't working (Nah)
One for the Basebox Crew
Krispy…Mc…drive…aye
This ain't a private shubs
Man can wear hats or hoods
No Uggs
It's not a lean up ting (It's not lean up ting)
I don't have a boss
Nobody can tell me there's a clean-up in aisle 5
'Cause I'll drive straight to your door
Then I'll spin and piledrive your face to the floor
[Verse 3: Skepta]
Yeah
Somebody's gotta get murked
Spoke to my mum but that didn't work
Counted to 10 but that didn't work
Blud, man ah putting in work
Switch them plates, man ah going on a ride
Black bally on and I look like a fly
Give mumsie a kiss, tell her "You'll be home soon
Come to the gate when I pull up on the drive"
I don't care if it's raining or not
If we get chased by feds, everybody in the car better know that I'm failing to stop
'Cause like Luis SuΓ‘rez, these police love taking a shot
But [?] violated the squad
Forget the albums, forget the mixtapes in the shop
Real G's don't procrastinate on the job
Yeah!

[Verse 4: Jme]
I got a black ski mask, but I don’t ski
But I snowboard, dash an MC off-piste
If one of you try and violate me
Get a box in the face with a front door key
Box in the mouth with a back door key
Box in the face with a X6 key
Box in the eye with the fob I use to log into my HSBC
Talk about banks, kill 'em with Ps
Run up in your girl's house, two of my Gs
Get the money out, put the money in his mouth
Suffocate man with about two Gs
Suffocate man with about four Gs
Suffocate man then I might just breeze
I’ll bury man two foot shallow
Ain’t got time to dig six feet deep
