Jme - Serious lyrics

J-M-E a simple music lesson, think about it

Everybody thinks to MC tough
Your lyrics must be about negative stuff
Go ravin', no one's skankin', turn round
I bet you someone's shankin'
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
Shoobs for a while
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 beat
Just bop your head to the beat

You're not serious, don't say, "Serious"
'Cause I say, "Serious
" you wanna get serious?
Let's get serious, you can't hack serious
So don't say, "Serious, " about serious
You're not serious, don't say, "Serious"
'Cause I say, "Serious
" you wanna get serious?
Then let's get serious
You can't hack serious
So don't say, "Serious"

Everbody says that garage should
Stop 'cause it's
Cheap like Calypso or Tip Top
MCs turn UK hip hop
Scared their debut album will flop
I'm flogging food like a chip-shop
So I'll fall back on that if this flops
Plus I go uni so if shit pops
Off with the cops, trust me
I've got it locked
How comes every single MC is vexed?
It's like the whole point
Of MC-ing nowadays is
To get a reload on the decks
Man will go to radio on Thursday
Even though it's his birthday
He'll spit lyrics like it's the
Worst day in his life, he's not serious
(Serious)

To the beat, just bop your head to the beat
If you don't wanna dance to the beat
Then bop your head to the beat
If you don't wanna dance or do the bogle
Just bop your head to the beat
If you don't wanna dance to beat
Just bop your head to the beat

You're not serious, don't say, "Serious"
'Cause I say, "Serious
" you wanna get serious?
Let's get serious, you can't hack serious
So don't say, "Serious, " about serious
You're not serious, don't say, "Serious"
'Cause I say, "Serious
" you wanna get serious?
Then let's get serious
You can't hack serious
So don't say, "Serious"

Everybody knows you're some goody-goody
That screwface and that Rocawear
Hoodie just ain't working sorry, bredrin
I'm Buzz Lightyear and you come like Woody
Look at my man bigging up his chest
Looks like he's tryna grow some breast
Stop that, before you get an arch back
I don't know who my man's tryna impress
Everybody knows that I shot O's
And I make P's, shot Q's like Kano
Under my tongue is where they go
Shotting since Wiley had cane row
To make dough you need sense
I still don't throw away five pence
One cat thought I was dense
Owed me a lump sum and
He tried jump some fence

To the beat, just bop your head to the beat
If you don't wanna dance to the beat
Then bop your head to the beat
If you don't wanna dance or signal the plane
Just bop your head to the beat
If you don't wanna dance to the beat
Just bop your head to the beat

You're not serious, don't say, "Serious"
'Cause I say, "Serious
" you wanna get serious?
Let's get serious, you can't hack serious
So don't say, "Serious, " about serious
You're not serious, don't say, "Serious"
'Cause I say, "Serious
" you wanna get serious?
Then let's get serious
You can't hack serious
So don't say, "Serious"

Serious
Hope everybody takes something away with
Them from this lesson see you tomorrow
