Hi, my name is JME, there was a time when radio played me |
| [00:14.52] |
Cause my music came from my heart, it was real to me |
| [00:17.93] |
But now it's a par |
| [00:19.14] |
I'm here struggling, keeping it real, while the rest of them are hustling, seeking a deal, |
| [00:23.51] |
Sometimes I sit back and think JME just do one tune, make a couple G's and chill, |
| [00:28.74] |
The reason I started making music is the exact same reason that I'll never do it, I swear |
| [00:33.22] |
I didn't go through all that for this |
| [00:35.23] |
I'll give that a miss, that's just how it is, unfair, |
| [00:38.65] |
straight Who could tell me different, look at me, determined, |
| [00:42.04] |
Man on a mission, my music is me, and I am my music |
| [00:45.53] |
So like it or lump it, I'm a do this |
| [00:48.10] |
|
| [00:48.30] |
I never had a playlist in my heart, oho |
| [00:53.16] |
Now I need an A list just to chart oho |
| [00:58.00] |
But I've been famous from the start oho |
| [01:03.08] |
How am I gonna make my mark? oho oh |
| [01:07.56] |
Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio |
| [01:11.41] |
I get in, forget the radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, |
| [01:14.67] |
and I don't have time for a playlist |
| [01:16.87] |
How much will you pay me though? |
| [01:18.98] |
The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh, oh, oh |
| [01:26.65] |
|
| [01:26.84] |
Thank God for night clubs and the raves |
| [01:28.80] |
Cause I don't think they like us on the airwaves |
| [01:31.10] |
Unless we water it down, but cordial music is boring me now |
| [01:35.61] |
I swear, I guess it matters what your goal is |
| [01:38.50] |
Or in this music scene, what your role is |
| [01:40.71] |
I'm still trying here, cause I'm a pioneer |
| [01:43.02] |
I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears |
| [01:45.74] |
See I'm just telling you the truth |
| [01:47.59] |
Can't shoot the messenger, bullet proof booth, |
| [01:49.79] |
You won't hear me on the radio, but go to the rave |
| [01:52.56] |
and the crowd, they're raising roof |
| [01:54.87] |
Why is that? What's going on there? |
| [01:57.14] |
To tell you the truth, I don't really care |
| [01:59.65] |
I am my music, my music is me |
| [02:01.95] |
Like it or not, this is how it's gonna be |
| [02:04.17] |
|
| [02:04.41] |
I never had a playlist in my heart, oho |
| [02:09.59] |
Now I need an A list just to chart oho |
| [02:14.57] |
But I've been famous from the start oho |
| [02:19.53] |
How am I gonna make my mark oho |
| [02:24.00] |
Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio |
| [02:28.07] |
I get in forget the radio spin, |
| [02:30.00] |
I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist |
| [02:33.68] |
How much will you pay me though? |
| [02:35.44] |
The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh, oho, oh |
| [02:42.62] |
|
| [02:42.98] |
I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial |
| [02:45.59] |
Bleeding through the speakers, rhythm by the pile, |
| [02:48.09] |
So won't you hear me out? |
| [02:52.09] |
Never feel it from the base line, feel it in the club |
| [02:55.16] |
Maybe I could take time singing for the dub |
| [02:57.53] |
So won't you hear me out? |
| [03:02.10] |
Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio |
| [03:06.32] |
I get in forget the radio spin, |
| [03:08.28] |
I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist |
| [03:11.53] |
How much will you pay me though? |
| [03:13.49] |
The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh |
| [03:21.33] |
Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio |
| [03:25.35] |
I get in forget the radio spin, |
| [03:27.36] |
I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist |
| [03:30.57] |
How much will you pay me though? |
| [03:32.78] |
The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh. |
