Serious

Lyrics

[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 ravin', 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 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 Shoobs for a while, so you won't have no dough for a while (Serious) [Bridge] 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 beat, just bop your head to the beat [Chorus] 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 I say, "Serious," you wanna get serious? Then let's get serious, you can't hack serious So don't say, "Serious" [Verse 2] Everbody says that garage should stop 'cause it's cheap like Calypso or Tip-Top MCs turn UK hip hop, scared their debut album will flop I'm flogging 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 vexed? It's like the whole point of MC-ing 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) [Bridge] 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 beat, just bop your head to the beat [Chorus] 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 I say, "Serious," you wanna get serious? Then let's get serious, you can't hack serious So don't say, "Serious" [Verse 3] Everybody knows you're some goody-goody That screwface and that Rocawear hoodie just ain't working Sorry, bredrin, I'm Buzz Lightyear and you come like Woody Look at my man bigging up his chest, looks like he's tryna grow some breasts Stop that, before you get an arch back, I don't know who my man's tryna impress Everybody knows that I shot O's, and I make P's, shot Q's like Kano Under my tongue is where they go, shotting since Wiley had cane row 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 tried jump some fence [Bridge] 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 the plane, just bop your head to the beat If you don't wanna dance to the beat, just bop your head to the beat [Chorus] 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 I say, "Serious," you wanna get serious? Then let's get serious, you can't hack serious So don't say, "Serious" [Outro] Serious Hope everybody takes something away with them from this lesson See you tomorrow
