Don’t Chat Lyrics

[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
