[00:10.76]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.
