Serious (Remix)

J-M-E

A simple music lesson

Think about it

(Serious)

Everybody thinks to MC tough

Your lyrics must be about negative stuff

Go raving, no one's skanking

Turn around, I bet you someone's shanking

Just 'cause we come from the gutter

And we know about scraping the bottom of the butter

Don't mean we have to be sinners

Major labels don't want killers

Think, who's gonna sign a guy with a shank?

Or a guy with a nine mil'

All you're gonna get is a three figure deal

You'll MC at a rave and get a bill

But that bill ain't gonna last

It will go fast and it might be the last shubs for awhile

So you won't have no dough for a while

Serious

To the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance or lean back

Then bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Serious

Bop your head to the remix

Don't talk to me about lyrics

I know all your little gimmicks

I know about rhyming dictionaries

And I know about rhymes on dot com, please

Go write some intelligent bars

Show a man you know more than just cars

Shanks, money, shanks, cash, shanks

We need shanks, police flanks

'Cause recently, I've been on a good vibe

Reason is 'cause I'm not average or decent

And it's hard to write lyrics like these

Serious

I mean it, ask artist, task any artist to write a bar that's positive

I'm not talkin' 'bout breasts, or a bullet proof vest

See, I'm the best

Imagine if every single MC live by the word

It'll be impossible to get anywhere

'Cause gunshots will have occurred

Couldn't even go to the video shoot 'cause

Man will go to your video shoot

Then he'll get away leaving feds and ambulances

'Cause at your video shoot

Serious

You're not (Serious)

Don't say (Serious)

I say (Serious)

You wanna get (Serious)?

Let's get (Serious)

You can't act (Serious)

So don't say (Serious)

About (Serious)

You're not (Serious)

Don't say (Serious)

I say (Serious)

You wanna get (Serious)?

Let's get (Serious)

You can't act (Serious)

So don't say (Serious)

All this talk about rippin' your N's

And not makin' anymore friends

Is an idiot thing

How long is it gonna take till you realize it needs to end?

You're a waste, man, if you're twenty-nine

And still posin' by a road sign

You need to think about your lifetime

Before you hit forty and you have a shank in your nose

You need to start growing up

Your lyrics make you sound like you don't know enough

You'll never be blowing up

You make me sick like a drunk person throwing up

Don't ignore me and write poor lyrics

I'm right getting bored of your brand new sword

Don't act dumb, why wonder

Your level of MCing is going up (Serious)

Everybody is JME

Do not come gaff around me

I don't care 'bout your J-A-C-O-D

Much you up like a BLT

I lost, yes it's me, JME

You won't wait, master slam-y

'Cause I've got big DJs playin' me

So don't say my name if you're not playin' me

Serious

You're not (Serious)

Don't say (Serious)

I say (Serious)

You wanna get (Serious)?

Let's get (Serious)

You can't act (Serious)

So don't say (Serious)

About (Serious)

You're not (Serious)

Don't say (Serious)

I say (Serious)

You wanna get (Serious)?

Let's get (Serious)

You can't act (Serious)

So don't say (Serious)

Serious

To the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance or sing on the plane

Or lean back

Or old pool

Or to the old-school granddad dance

Just bop your head to the beat

Serious

To the beat

Just bop your head to the beat

It's J-M-E
