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 its a par
Im 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 Ill never do it, I swear
I didnt go through all that for this
Ill give that a miss, thats just how it is, unfair, straight
Who could 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, Im a do this
I never had a playlist in my heart, oho
Now I need an A list just to chart oho
But Ive been famous from the start oho
How am I gonna make my mark? oho oh
Are you gonna play me, though,
This song was never meant for the radio
I get in, forget the radio spin, Im just doing my thing,
And I dont have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though?
The song was not a hit on the radio,
Oho, oho, oho, oh, oh, oh
Thank God for night clubs and the raves
Cause I dont 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
Im still trying here, cause Im a pioneer
I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears
See Im just telling you the truth
Cant shoot the messenger, bullet proof booth,
You wont hear me on the radio,
But go to the rave and the crowd, theyre raising roof
Why is that? Whats going on there?
To tell you the truth, I dont really care
I am my music, my music is me
Like it or not, this is how its gonna be
I never had a playlist in my heart, oho
Now I need an A list just to chart oho
But Ive been famous from the start oho
How am I gonna make my mark oho
Are you gonna play me, though,
This song was never meant for the radio
I get in forget the radio spin, Im just doing my thing,
And I dont have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though?
The song was not a hit on the radio,
Oho, oho, oho, oh, oho, oh
I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial
Bleeding through the speakers, rhythm by the pile,
So wont you hear me out?
Never feel it from the base line, feel it in the club
Maybe I could take time singing for the dub
So wont you hear me out?
Are you gonna play me, though,
This song was never meant for the radio
I get in forget the radio spin, Im just doing my thing,
And I dont have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though?
The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh
Are you gonna play me, though,
This song was never meant for the radio
I get in forget the radio spin, Im just doing my thing,

How much will you pay me though?
The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh.
