SERIOUS

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 'round I bet you someone's shanking

Jus 'cause we come from the gutter

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 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 act (serious)

So don't say (serious)

About (serious)

You're not (serious)

Don't say (serious)

'Cause I say (serious)

You wanna get (serious)

Let's get (serious)

You can't act (serious)

So don't say (serious)

Everybody says that garage should top

'Cause it's cheap like Calypso or Tip-Top

MC's turn UK hip-hop

Scared their debut album will flop

I'm floggin' 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

It'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 act (serious)

So don't say (serious)

About (serious)

You're not (serious)

Don't say (serious)

'Cause I say (serious)

You wanna get (serious)

Let's get (serious)

You can't act (serious)

So don't say (serious)

Everybody knows you're some goody-goody

That screwface and that Rocawear hoodie just ain't workin'

Sorry bredrin, I'm Buzz Lightyear and you come like Woody

Look at my man biggin' up his chest

Looks like he's trynao grow some breast

Stop that, before you get an arch back

I don't know who my man's tryna impress

Everybody know's that I shot Os

And I make P, shot Q's like Kano

Under my tongue is were they go

Shottin' since Wiley had cane rows

To make dough you need sense

I still don't throw away five pence

One cat thought I was dense

Owed me a lump some and he tried jump some fence

(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 signal the plane

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 act (serious)

So don't say (serious)

About (serious)

You're not (serious)

Don't say (serious)

'Cause I say (serious)

You wanna get (serious)

Let's get (serious)

You can't act (serious)

So don't say (serious)

Serious

I hope everybody takes something away with them from this lesson today
