Hi, my name is Jme |
There was a time when radio played me |
'Cause my music came from my heart |
It was real to me, but now it’s a par |
I’m here struggling, keeping it real |
While the rest of them are hustling, seeking a deal |
Sometimes I sit back and think |
«Jme just do one tune, make a couple Gs and chill» |
The reason I started making music is the exact same |
Reason that I’ll never do it, I swear |
I didn’t go through all of that for this |
I’ll give that a miss, that’s just how it is |
I’m fair, straight, who can tell me different? |
Look at me, determined, man on a mission |
My music is me, and I am my music |
So like it or lump it, I’mma do this |
I never had a playlist in my heart |
Now I need an A list just to chart |
But I’ve been famous from the start |
How am I gonna make my mark? |
Are you gonna play me though? |
This song was never meant for the radio |
(I get it in forget a radio spin, I’m just doing my thing |
And I don’t have time for a playlist) |
How much will you pay me though |
If this song’s not a hit on the radio? |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
Thank God for night clubs and the raves |
'Cause I don’t think they like us on the airwaves |
Unless we water it down |
But cordial music is boring me now |
I swear, I guess it matters what your goal is |
Or in this music scene, what your role is |
I’m still trying here, 'cause I’m a pioneer |
I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears |
See I’m just telling you the truth |
Can’t shoot the messenger, bulletproof booth |
You won’t hear me on the radio |
But go to the rave, and the crowd, they’re raising roof |
Why is that? |
What’s going on there? |
To tell you the truth, I don’t really care |
I am my music, my music is me |
Like it or not, this is how it’s gonna be |
I never had a playlist in my heart |
Now I need an A list just to chart |
But I’ve been famous from the start |
How am I gonna make my mark? |
Are you gonna play me though? |
This song was never meant for the radio |
(I get it in forget a radio spin, I’m just doing my thing |
And I don’t have time for a playlist) |
How much will you pay me though |
If this song’s not a hit on the radio? |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial |
Bleeding through the speakers, written by the pile |
So won’t you hear me out? |
Never feel it from the bass line, feel it in the club |
Maybe I could take time singing for the dub |
So won’t you hear me out? |
I never had a playlist in my heart |
Now I need an A list just to chart |
But I’ve been famous from the start |
How am I gonna make my mark? |
Are you gonna play me though? |
This song was never meant for the radio |
(I get it in forget a radio spin, I’m just doing my thing |
And I don’t have time for a playlist) |
How much will you pay me though |
If this song’s not a hit on the radio? |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
Are you gonna play me though? |
This song was never meant for the radio |
(I get it in forget a radio spin, I’m just doing my thing |
And I don’t have time for a playlist) |
How much will you pay me though |
If this song’s not a hit on the radio? |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
