[Intro]

Serious, J–

Serious, serious

Another quick music lesson

Serious, serious


[Verse 1]

Straight off the mark, now, let me just say

Gun crime's on the rise in the UK

I never thought there would be a day

You could wake up and witness a man spray

I watch the news all the time

I get cold shivers when I see the headlines

'Cause I see somebody losing a life

And the life that they lost was similar to mine

Gun crime's on the rise

The only thing that's more on the rise

Than the rise of gun crime is the rise

Of gun lyrics from MC guys

How long will it take 'til they realise

There's a lot of other things to say besides

Shanks, money, shanks, gash, shanks

Weed, shanks, please, thanks


[Chorus]

Don't chat crap please

If you can't make sense, don't MC

Don't chat crap please

There's too much negativity in our scene


[Verse 2]

See, I'm not the same as the rest

I'm not average, I aim for the best

Hate me and say Jme's a pest

But you still feel me like pains in your chest

I came here to mess with the game

Durag looking fresh with the chain

I don't do crime, the rest are to blame

For shooting up the place like Wayne

John or Rooney, it's all the same

The media give the scene a bad name

And they pigeonhole my music like say

They roll with Jme every day

Also, I came here to show

People that think the music's a joke

I make them listen to the beats

There's a lot of sense in the streets


[Chorus]

Don't chat crap please

If you can't make sense, don't MC

Don't chat crap please

There's too much negativity in our scene


[Verse 3]

It's cool, everything's still like school

Feds are the teachers who want to rule

I never get shift cause I get good grades

Plus, in maths, I weren't a fool

There's them troublemakers on the streets

They're the kids that won't sit in their seats

All of the teachers know their names

'Cause they're in detention twice a week

Detention's the equivalent of jail

Full of the kids that didn't do well

Half of them, the teachers didn't like

Don't deserve to be sitting in the cell

So I just stay out the teacher's way

Get through school, get the best grades

Ignore them brehs that run up their mouth

They'll be in detention one day


[Chorus]

Don't chat crap please

If you can't make sense, don't MC

Don't chat crap please

There's too much negativity in our scene
