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 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 mill'?

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 shoobz 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 the beat
Just bop your head to the beat (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 l say (serious)
You wanna get (serious)
Let's get (serious)
You can't hack (serious)
So don't say (serious)

Everybody says that garage should stop
'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 vex?
It's like the whole point of MCin' 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 the beat
Just bop your head to the beat (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 l say (serious)
You wanna get (serious)
Let's get (serious)
You can't hack (serious)
So don't say (serious)

Everybody knows you're some goody-goody
That screw face and that Rocawear hoody
Just aint workin'
Sorry bredren, I'm Buzz Lightyear and you come like Woody

Look at my man biggin' up his chest
Looks like he's tryna grow some breasts
Stop that before you get an arched back
I dunno who my man's tryna impress

Everybody knows that I shot O's
And I make P's, shot Q's just like Kano
Under my tongue is where they go
Shottin' since Wiley had canerow
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 try 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 di Plane
Just bop your head to the beat
If you don't wanna dance to the beat
Just bop your head to the beat (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 l say (serious)
You wanna get (serious)
Let's get (serious)
You can't hack (serious)
So don't say (serious)
