Sick? No you ain't!
Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't!
Top three? No you ain't!
Leveling up with me? No you ain't!
Brave? No you ain't!
Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't!
Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No, safe!

Sick? No you ain't!
Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't!
Top three? No you ain't!
Leveling up with me? No you ain't!
Brave? No you ain't!
Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't!
Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No!

I came to this planet, a 8lbs cesarean
Now, I'm a badman-arean
Apologies to all aquariums
But I roll with couple pescetarians, vegans and vegetarians
An' a few Rastafarians
Man don't wanna see no dead meat on their plate like some barbarians
I'm a 80's baby the best MC lately? Maybe
'Cause I'm getting played on the D-A-B while you're in the rave doing D-A-B's
JME, 80's baby the best MC lately? Maybe
'Cause I'm getting played on the D-A-B while you're in the rave doing D-A-B's

Sick? No you ain't!
Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't!
Top three? No you ain't!
Leveling up with me? No you ain't!
Brave? No you ain't!
Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't!
Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No, safe!

Sick? No you ain't!
Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't!
Top three? No you ain't!
Leveling up with me? No you ain't!
Brave? No you ain't!
Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't!
Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No!

I've always got new tunes for the car
But I need to get a new car for the streets
I wanna get that P85D and alcantara seats
If you see me and the light goes green
0 to 60 off the mark it's peak
They say you are what you eat
So go against me and you're dead meat
I'm representing, with the new flow I'm inventing
Pay the mortgage, I'm not renting
Yep, my fiance is a peng ting
If a man violates, I'm venting
Trust it won't be a draw for the leng ting
And it won't be a count to 10 ting
Straight in his forehead I'm denting

Sick? No you ain't!
Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't!
Top three? No you ain't!
Leveling up with me? No you ain't!
Brave? No you ain't!
Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't!
Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No, safe!

Sick? No you ain't!

Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No!

0, 1, 2, 3 then my speech when man's on the mic
Say what I want, give a damn when I like
Any month of the year, I'm hype
January, February, March, April, May
I put my fist through your teeth
Elbow drop with elbow grease
Old school kid man, alphabet beats
A, B, C, D, E
F your crew and gang
When I get hype when your with 8 man
Any day of the week I'm nang
Monday, Tuesday, when's it gonna stop?
When you realize I'm that guy, that's right
I go harder than using a toothpick to eat a bowl of rice

Sick? No you ain't!
Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't!
Top three? No you ain't!
Leveling up with me? No you ain't!
Brave? No you ain't!
Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't!
Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No, safe!

Sick? No you ain't!
Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't!
Top three? No you ain't!
Leveling up with me? No you ain't!
Brave? No you ain't!
Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't!




Grime? No you ain't!
Represent all of the time? No!

Overall Meaning

The song "No You Ain't" by JME is a classic grime diss track aimed at challengers who claim to be better than JME. The chorus consists of JME repeatedly shouting "Sick? No you ain't! Coming to the rave with a stick? No you ain't! Top three? No you ain't! Leveling up with me? No you ain't! Brave? No you ain't! Getting reloads on stage? No you ain't! Grime? No you ain't! Represent all of the time? No, safe!" each line pointing out that his challengers are not on his level.


The first verse goes on to describe JME's success as an artist, and the fact that his music is being played on the radio (D-A-B) while his challengers are still at the rave doing D-A-B's (a dance popular in grime culture). He emphasizes that he is a superior MC by stating that he is an 80's baby and maybe the best MC lately. He also highlights that he follows a certain diet (veganism) and surrounds himself with like-minded people.


In the second verse, JME shows off his braggadocious side, talking about his desire for a Tesla Model S P85D with alcantara seats, and how he'll leave his challengers in the dust if they dare to race him. He also makes it clear that he is not one to mess with, and if someone disrespects him, he will retaliate fiercely.


Overall, "No You Ain't" is a powerful statement of JME's skills and position in the grime scene, while simultaneously putting down any possible challengers.
