Bringing It Home

Jme

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

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 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 yo' head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat, just bop yo' head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance or lean back, then bop yo' head to the beat

If you don't wanna dance to the beat (serious), bop yo' 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 RhymeZone dot com, please

Go write some intelligent bars, show man you know more than just cars

Shanks, money, shanks, gash, shanks, weed, shanks, please

Thanks, '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 any artist, task any artist, to write a bar that's positive

Not talking 'bout breasts, or a bulletproof vest, see, I'm the best

Imagine if every single MC lived by their word

It would be impossible to get anywhere

'Cause gunshots would have occurred

You couldn't even go to the video shoot

'Cause man would go to the video and shoot, then he'll get away

Leaving feds and ambulances at your video shoot

Serious

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?
