[Verse 1: JME]
~#**************#~
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 of that for this
~#**************#~
Ill give that a miss, thats just how it is
~#**************#~
Im fair, straight, who can 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, Ima do this
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
I never had a playlist in my heart (Oh, woah, oh)
~#**************#~
Now I need an A list just to chart (Oh, woah, oh)
~#**************#~
But Ive been famous from the start (Oh, woah, oh)
~#**************#~
How am I gonna make my mark? Oh, oh
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & JME]
~#**************#~
Are you gonna play me though?
~#**************#~
This song was never meant for the radio
~#**************#~
I get it in forget a radio spin, Im just doing my thing
~#**************#~
And I dont have time for a playlist
~#**************#~
And how much will you pay me though
~#**************#~
If this song was not a hit on the radio?
~#**************#~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: JME]
~#**************#~
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, bulletproof 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
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
I never had a playlist in my heart (Oh, woah, oh)
~#**************#~
Now I need an A list just to chart (Oh, woah, oh)
~#**************#~
But Ive been famous from the start (Oh, woah, oh)
~#**************#~
How am I gonna make my mark? Oh, oh
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & JME]
~#**************#~
Are you gonna play me though?
~#**************#~
This song was never meant for the radio
~#**************#~
I get it in forget a radio spin, Im just doing my thing
~#**************#~
And I dont have time for a playlist
~#**************#~
And how much will you pay me though
~#**************#~
If this song was not a hit on the radio?
~#**************#~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial
~#**************#~
Bleeding through the speakers, written by the pile
~#**************#~
So wont you hear me out?
~#**************#~
Never feel it from the bass line, feel it in the club
~#**************#~
Maybe I could take time singing for the dub
~#**************#~
So wont you hear me out?
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & JME]
~#**************#~
Are you gonna play me though?
~#**************#~
This song was never meant for the radio
~#**************#~
I get it in forget a radio spin, Im just doing my thing
~#**************#~
And I dont have time for a playlist
~#**************#~
And how much will you pay me though
~#**************#~
If this song was not a hit on the radio?
~#**************#~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
~#**************#~
Are you gonna play me though?
~#**************#~
This song was never meant for the radio
~#**************#~
I get it in forget a radio spin, Im just doing my thing
~#**************#~
And I dont have time for a playlist
~#**************#~
And how much will you pay me though
~#**************#~
If this song was not a hit on the radio?
~#**************#~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
