[Intro]
J M E
A simple music lesson, think about it
[Verse 1]
Everybody thinks to MC tough
Your lyrics must be about negative stuff
Go raving, no-one's skanking
Turn around I bet you some-one's shanking
Jus cause we come from the gutter
And we know about scraping the bottom of the bu*ter
Don't mean we have to be sinners
Major labels don't want k**ers
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)
[Hook]
To the beat
Jus 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
[Hook] x2
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
[Verse 2]
Everbody says that garage should stop
Coz it's cheap like calipso 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 sh** 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 of 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)
[Hook] x2
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
[Verse 3]
Everybody knows you're some goody-goody
That screw-face and that Roca-Wear hoody
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 tryin to grow some breast
Stop that, before you get an arch-back
I don't know who my man's tryin to 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
[Hook] x2
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
[Outro]
(Serious)
Hope everybody takes something away with them from this lesson
See you tomorrow
