Radio

[00:11.38] Hi, my name is Jme
[00:13.25] There was a time when radio played me
[00:15.88] 'Cause my music came from my heart
[00:17.63] It was real to me, but now it's a par
[00:20.56] I'm here struggling, keeping it real
[00:22.46] While the rest of them are hustling, seeking a deal
[00:25.01] Sometimes I sit back and think
[00:26.65] "Jme, just do one tune, make a couple Gs and chill"
[00:29.75] The reason I started making music is the exact same
[00:32.33] Reason that I'll never do it, I swear
[00:34.79] I didn't go through all of that for this
[00:36.34] I'll give that a miss, that's just how it is
[00:38.69] I'm fair, straight, who can tell me different?
[00:41.82] Look at me, determined, man on a mission
[00:43.95] My music is me, and I am my music
[00:46.39] So like it or lump it, I'ma do this
[00:49.45] I never had a playlist in my heart (oh-oh-oh)
[00:54.34] Now I need an A list just to chart (oh-oh-oh)
[00:59.34] But I've been famous from the start (oh-oh-oh)
[01:04.09] How am I gonna make my mark? (Oh-oh)
[01:08.65] Are you gonna play me, though?
[01:10.36] This song was never meant for the radio
[01:12.78] I get it in, forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing
[01:15.83] And I don't have time for a playlist
[01:18.21] How much will you pay me, though
[01:19.82] If this song was not a hit on the radio?
[01:23.24] Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[01:27.97] Thank God for night clubs and the raves
[01:30.02] 'Cause I don't think they like us on the airwaves
[01:32.72] Unless we water it down
[01:34.54] But cordial music is boring me now
[01:36.91] I swear, I guess it matters what your goal is
[01:39.58] Or in this music scene, what your role is
[01:42.12] I'm still trying here 'cause I'm a pioneer
[01:44.23] I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears
[01:47.23] See, I'm just telling you the truth
[01:49.08] Can't shoot the messenger, bulletproof booth
[01:51.65] You won't hear me on the radio
[01:52.10] But go to the rave, and the crowd, they're raising roof
[01:56.75] Why is that? What's going on there?
[01:58.89] To tell you the truth, I don't really care
[02:01.18] I am my music, my music is me
[02:03.39] Like it or not, this is how it's gonna be
[02:06.39] I never had a playlist in my heart (oh-oh-oh)
[02:11.11] Now I need an A list just to chart (oh-oh-oh)
[02:15.93] But I've been famous from the start (oh-oh-oh)
[02:20.77] How am I gonna make my mark? (Oh-oh)
[02:25.57] Are you gonna play me, though?
[02:27.26] This song was never meant for the radio
[02:29.31] I get it in, forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing
[02:32.55] And I don't have time for a playlist
[02:35.22] How much will you pay me, though
[02:36.87] If this song was not a hit on the radio?
[02:40.02] Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[02:44.66] I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial
[02:47.09] Bleeding through the speakers, written by the pile
[02:49.93] So won't you hear me out?
[02:53.99] Never feel it from the bass line, feel it in the club
[02:56.65] Maybe I could take time singing for the dub
[02:59.57] So won't you hear me out?
[03:04.02] Are you gonna play me, though?
[03:05.69] This song was never meant for the radio
[03:07.88] I get it in, forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing
[03:11.10] And I don't have time for a playlist
[03:13.62] How much will you pay me, though
[03:15.21] If this song was not a hit on the radio?
[03:18.42] Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[03:23.19] Are you gonna play me, though?
[03:24.76] This song was never meant for the radio
[03:26.92] I get it in, forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing
[03:30.13] And I don't have time for a playlist
[03:32.85] How much will you pay me, though
[03:34.41] If this song was not a hit on the radio?
[03:37.62] Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[03:41.05]
