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)
 Serious
 I hope everybody takes something away with them
