When I look back at my time at the track
And I played and I played and I played and I was
Shooting the craps at the back of Fat Jack's
Come on fade me Jake
I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners
A bath what a bath what a bath I'd take
A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake
I took that serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again and again and again and again
I'm a gambling fool with a roll and cue
Wanna play wanna play wanna play with me
Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in the grime
And they picked me clean
The chance and the game drove Old Silkly insane
What a pain what a strain on my brain it was
A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake
I took that serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again and again and again and again
Serious it was serious oh so serious
Serious it was serious oh so serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Or a friend
Again and again and again and again and again
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Or a friend
Again and again and again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again and again

I buy land from the white man
(Freaky, freaky)
I move to Atlanta with Country Grammar
And move to 'bama with nails and hammers
To put the posters on Havannah
Move to China to move through miners
Then move to shirts, drawers, pants, and to the panty-liners

[AZ]
Yea, back off vacation
Time to send y'all pros on a permanent vacation though
Check my track record, respect is my black Lexus
Expect me to act reckless, I'm rich and I'm ass naked
A mink with half leopard, my drinks and my glass separate
I roll and I'm half breathless, just stroll through my last message
Like...niggaz can't be serious
Never that leery shit, shit I'm mysterious
Move mystique on 'em, the doses increase on 'em
You ghost if you sleep on 'em
No joke when my peeps stormin
The cars they come in heavy
The God of the Serengeti
I charge with a large machete
And carve through ya starvin belly
Like...you shoulda known I was serious
Still the prettiest, point blank period
[Nas]
Feedin while alligators on swamps, got miles and acres
No comp, whether it's freestyle, or written down on papers
So far, I've been down from maybe, a decade, I'm still the raw-rest
Plus, suede, and ferragamo's, cause the made jury's on us
Garments fly apartments, they buggin say Nastradamus
Just wasn't one of my hardest, sold over a mil regardless
Chill with them hard looks, I spark clips
If you blood, or Muslim, 5 percent God, or crip
[AZ]
Yea, ok
Guns in the glove compartment
I'm dapper but love the nonsense
The rappin up of my conscience
I'm strapped when I come to conscious
Attack with a hundred monsters
They black and they runnin bonkers
We back and we come to conquer
[Nas]
To master the fucking genre
Like, niggaz can't be serious
Still the grittiest, point blank period
Flow tight as a midget's closet
As tight as a prison block is
No sight of po-lice, when we riot
Fightin the system, fired
Be quiet, when I'm approaching
Get tired, jump out the roses
Sip Meyer's Rum out in open
I'm smokin that hydro, choking
I'm scopin, my eyes are on you
Don't reach cause I tried to warn you
No street corner Nas won't come to
To bomb you, 4 5's will harm you
Eccentric, I'm live but calm too
Cordial, but crazy cautious
Roll through with some crazy gorgeous
Hoes, bodies like lady horses
Like, my whole stampede serious
Ya'll niggaz is funny like Eddie Murphy's "Delirious"
Sped up or real slow, never neo-soul
Hip-Hop only rockin with homey, we Co-D's
Nas not no Hives, or Coldplay
If there was an old days, we pioneered it
Are you serious?
Talk to me what, what
Are you serious?
Talk to me what, what, what, what
Are you serious?
Talk to me what, what
C'mon yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause when you paged I ain't call right back
I didn't have my cell phone
So tell me what's going on, baby, yeah?

They even playin' us
Just tryna get in
If you're serious 'bout our love
Did you know they hatin' on me?
Talkin' 'bout what they heard

You said I picked up two girls from the bar
But you know it ain't true
'Cause I was here makin' love to you
But baby, they come to you
They talk about me and what I do
I know what it is, they wanna be you
And be the one I'm comin' home to, baby, yeah

That's why they hatin' on me
I'm so tired of what they say
They can go 'cause they don't know
Uh, say what?
Uh uh, y'all
All I get is what you get
What you got on? Who you with?
What you doing? Who you screwin'?
Get off my ass
I kick it grown women style
You got the petty ways of a child
Caught you checking my draws, you fowl
Now everybody wanna be ghettofab, you better ask
Chris Tucker, Silkk the Shocker, Rass Kass
In the ghetto Gotham City
They saw me shakin' my ass
Looking to face off with you true nigga style
Or the future will be the past
And it ain't gon' last, yeah yeah
Serious 'bout our love
Don't worry 'bout a thing
They even playin' us
Just tryna get in
If you're serious 'bout our love
Did you know they hatin' on me?
Talkin' 'bout what they heard

Get serious
Cause we're gonna do for you, you know it's true we got a second album

Too many people thoght we couldn't go on

Hands up in the air,
Wave 'em like you care
Feel the funky beat
EVerybody on your feet
[Chorus:]
Get serious
We got it going on tonight
Get serious
Everything will be alright
All I know is true that I wanna be with you
You gotta get serious, serious, serious
Could I be the one that twists thighter than a curl
Coming through from the mist
Check my defenition, rhyme composition
On the double o-5ive mission
With the aim to please any beef with the rod gone fishing
Check if you're down tonight
Put your hands in the air if you feel alright
Got enough for what you need
So get serious Baby please
Hands up in the air,
Wave 'em like you care
Feel the funky beat
Everybody on your feet
[Chorus]
Now we've been waiting for so long
Give me a chance to get it through
You are the flavour to my song
That's why I wanna be, wanna be with you
Stop, clear the stage so we can get busy
Open up your mind while I hit you with the nitty gritty
We came to rhyme, we came to get down
Wo when we rock the mike we bring the funk into your town
So I drop a rhyme onto the mike while it's mine then you gotta pass it on
while I rock you with a line
As we hip we hop we're getting others in the run
Flicking switches on the buttom of the mike cause we're done
[Chorus x2]
Oh the last time I saw you
You looked so good baby
There was moonlight everywhere
Oh and God only knows How I hated to leave you standing there
You know I told you
That I wanted to hold you
But the moment was not right
So I took off down the raod
For another lonely night
Oh I wanna spend my life with you
Baby tell me is that so wrong
I don't ever want to say good night to you
I wanna hold you all night long
Chorus:
Baby this is serious
Baby, baby, this is serious
This is serious for the two of us
Serious
Oh all day long I keep thinkin' about you
And I'm ready to give in
'Cause I may never find anybody like you again
You see nobody's ever made me want to
Do what I'm 'bout to do
Because I found everything
And it's all wrapped up in you
Oh I wanna spend my life with you
Baby tell me is that so wrong
I don't ever want to say goodbye to you
I wanna hold you all night long
I can hardly believe what I'm sayin'
All my lifetime I've been prayin'
To find somebody who's heart's not taken
And I believe you're the one
No I don't mean at all to upset you
Honey I knew from the moment I met you
If I could find a way to get you
I'd have to fall in love
Baby get serious
Baby, baby, wanna be serious
This is serious about the two of us
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
When you are in love
Ah, you feel the stars above
There's no devil in her eyes
There's no darkness in disguise
But when you are alone
A kiss can turn your heart to stone
Hearts breaking in the night
There's a devil in her eyes
Oh, it's serious, so serious
A kiss that caught the wind made you delirious
Oh, it's serious, so serious
Take her in your arms, don't be afraid
Never be afraid
When you are in love
All the stars burn bright above
There's a kindness in her eyes
There's no darkness in disguise
Oh, but when you are alone
Oh, your heart it turns to stone
Hearts breaking in the night
There's a devil in her eyes
Oh, it's serious, so serious
A kiss that caught the wind made you delirious
Oh, it's serious, so serious
Take her in your arms, don't be afraid
Never be afraid
Oh, it's serious, so serious
A kiss that caught the wind made you delirious
Oh, it's serious, so serious
So take her in your arms, don't be afraid
This time its serious its serious 'cause I know
That I can trust you know I won't make a mess
This time it's so serious I'm serious
So serious I know I got to be serious
She's so serious I know that she's so serious
Next time it's serious its gotta be serious
'cause I don't think I can hold up I'm tired
Of making a mess, Next time it's so so serious

and then I saw the look in your eyes,
I tried to turn around as I tried to run away,
I felt you coming near me
I hoped that you wouldn't see me
I can't breathe for fear of moving
I can't breathe for fear of...
I feel it coming,
I feel it moving
I feel it breathing,
I feel it, ooh
I feel you staring from the darkness
and burning holes in my skin
is creeping, crawling, feeding off my fear from
within me,
stealing through the shadows
not piercing through the silence
I can't move for fear of hearing something more
and I feel it feeding,
I feel it stealing,
I feel it creeping,
I feel it...ooh
yeaah yeaah, this is getting serious [2x]
yeaah yeaah, save me from this ugly mess!
yeaah yeaah, this is getting serious
serious [4x]
yeaah yeaah, this is getting serious [2x]
yeaah yeaah, save me from this ugly mess!
Do you ever get the feeling
People think you're crazy
Cause you trust what they can't see
Do you ever get the feeling
People think you&Mac182;re shallow
And you will change what you believe
But I'm not here to argue
About what others think and feel
Cause I'm not ashamed to tell anyone
What I know to be real
I'm serious about the stand I'm taking
Serious about the choice I'm making
Serious about the things that I believe
I'm serious about the talk I'm talking
The evidence is in the walk I'm walking
Serious about love and purity
I'm serious as I can be
I'm not the first to meet with laughter
And resistance from a disbelieving crowd
But I got to meet it head on
I'm just gonna keep on
Won't let it get me down
I'm not here to give up
Jesus didn't give up on me
Even when the goin' gets rough
I've promised God that I'll be
Won't change my mind
Got to close the door
No time for goin' back
To what I had before
I'm so tired of playin' all these games
Cause the more I see what You mean to me
You thought I was gone, I came back
I want you to know babe I'm as serious as a heart attack
Let me love you, let me try
I want to stay today, I want to share your life
I'm serious, so serious, I'm serious
Serious as a heart attack, hey hey, I'm serious
I'm serious, serious, serious
One cup of coffee, two cups of tea
One for you babe I need two for me
I see you like to wine an dine
You get the glass and I'll get the wine
I'm serious, so serious, I'm serious
Serious as a heart attack, hey yaa, I'm serious
I'm serious, serious, serious
Serious about that new thing when I meet
Serious about the way you look everyday
Serious about the way you wear your hair
Serious about been home, when you ain't there, hey hey
I'm serious, so serious, I'm serious
Serious as a heart attack, well well I'm serious, I'm
serious
I always wanted to see
The colours of your destiny
I always wanted to know if our love would grow
Serious
Serious
I'm a trophy on your arm
You wear me like a charm, yes you do
An accessory that suits
Your new suede boots, oh
I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be
Serious
Serious in love
A joke on my expense
In front of all your friends, all the time
A game you like to play
Which leaves me so low, every day
I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be
Serious
Serious in love
Serious
Serious in love
I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be
Serious
Serious in love
Serious
He says we've been hanging out for a while
And wants me to be his girlfriend now
I think that we need to slow it down, but
He's not trying to hear those words from my mouth
He remembers our first date
Where he took me and what we both ate
He gets mad cause sometimes I forget
Can't remember the place that we met
He wants to be serious
I'm too young to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, love
I don't wanna be serious
We're not ready for serious
I'm not ready for love
Ready for love, ready for love
With you right now, with you right now
With you right now, with you right now
He always tells me that he's in love
But my response is never enough
He says that I'm so detached
I just think it's my reaction
To move away, give us space
Doesn't mean I don't like you
But I like to move at my own peace
I don't wanna rush
He wants to be serious
I'm too young to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, love
I don't wanna be serious
We're not ready for serious
I'm not ready for love
Ready for love, ready for love
With you right now, with you right now
With you right now, with you right now
I'm way too young to be
Thinking of love, love, love
Let's wait a while, baby
Let's wait a while
What are we rushing for?
Let's take our time
I can't give you more than this
He wants to be serious
I'm too young to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, love
I don't wanna be serious
We're not ready for serious
I'm not ready for love
Ready for love, ready for love
With you right now, with you right now
With you right now, with you right now
Serious, serious
Love, love, ready for love
With you right now, serious
With you right now, with you right now
SHE PUT A GUN UP TO HER HEAD, AND MADE A WISH THAT SHE WAS DEAD
AND I COULD TELL THIS TIME THAT SHE WAS SERIOUS
SHE SAID THAT WE'RE ALL TO HEAD STRONG,
AND TOO AFRAID TO SAY WE'RE WRONG
AND SO WE PUSH OURSELVES TILL WE'RE DELIRIOUS
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND COUNT TO TEN AND CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN
HE PUT A RAZOR TO HIS WRIST, CLOSED HIS EYES AND MADE A FIST
AND HE SWORE TO GOD THAT HE WAS SERIOUS
HE SAID HE COULDN'T TAKE MUCH MORE AND AS HE LAY THERE ON THE FLOOR, HE CRIED OH MY GOD I SO DAMN FURIOUS
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND COUNT TO TEN AND CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN
IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND COUNT TO TEN AND CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN
IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS
I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO FEEL THE WAY YOU DO, EVEN IF I COULD IT WOULDN'T CHANGE MY MIND
I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY, IT'S TOO SERIOUS, TOO SERIOUS
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND COUNT TO TEN AND CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN
IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND COUNT TO TEN AND CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN
IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND COUNT TO TEN AND CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN
IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND COUNT TO TEN AND CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN
IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS
Huh, do it
Serious
Now sit back in your seat and kick up your Nike's
And listen to Freddie Foxxx cold rip the mic
The microphone's burnin' like a flamin' torch
And my lyrics are hot so they can burn and scorch
So here's a little somethin' for you hip-hop wimps
Try to come down hard on the hip-hop prince
Get your rhymes all together, your microphones ready
'Cause you're about to meet the hip-hop terror, Freddie
For all you other rappers with self-proclaimed titles
Shut up and face the true supreme idol
Rappers, I'm here so come get it
But those that tried are real sorry they did it
'Cause I hit it hard, nail on the head, now they're dead
But that's what you get when you're messin' with Fred
Ain't no jokin' or playin' around, just listen to the sound
While I get down, this is serious
So serious when I take the stage
Kinda like lettin' a pitbull out of a cage
For blood or raw meet, huh, sound sweet
But I take the mic and a milky beat
And drop one rhyme that's self-defined
And then you lay back and relax while I climb into your mind
Every openin' hole
Walk through your body and take over your soul
This jam is deep when I speak, you turn chicken
Scared to death because my bassline's kickin'
Jump off and grab the mic, I dare you
Then I'ma open you up and then wear ya
Drag you all over like Raggedy Ann
Rough up the wannabe's, make you a man
Then when you jump up to talk crap
You'll get slapped with a rap that makes your neck snap back
Down for the count, my hand is raised
My rhyme is praised and you feel dazed
I'm gonna take you deeper down to the bottom
When my voice hits the mic, it'll sound like I shot him
I'm like Riker's buckwild in dozens
And you'll be lookin' around like, who was it?
Hit from all sides, all you feel is pain
And you don't even know your own name
Try to get up for the next round and pout it
You think you survive? I doubt it
Bring the stretcher, jumpstart the brain and heart
Of a rapper that's been torn apart this is serious
This is serious
Now I'ma tell you somethin' you should never forget
Fred could stand in hell and won't sweat
Don't believe it? This is hell
Bring the rapper then ring the bell
Then once we start rappin', it's a hell of a round
It takes you, your crew and the cops to bring me down
The rapper of rap, rhymes my occupation
Here we go, pump up your radio station
The Kut Terrorist scratchin' like a maniac
Fred's kickin' rhymes like a natural born brainiac
It's like your standin' in water and touched a live wire
Boom, you're on fire
And I keep rollin', rhymes keep projectin'
Hittin' like a punch to the jawbone connectin'
You see me with the mic in my hand and you're jelled up
Schemin' with your posse but y'all got held up
Serious business the only way to go
I'm all about makin' beats, rhymes and dough
And once in a while I'm a stick man
But girls ain't a problem to Foxxx, 'cause I'm in, man
I got rappers on the mic delirious
You know why? 'Cause this is serious
This one is a special dedication for all the posse out there
This one goes out to Eric B. and Rakim
This one goes out to my man Ant Live
This one goes out to Premo
Sha, Let's Jet and the Louisville Slugger
This one goes out to my DJ the Kut Terrorist
This one goes out to Laser Mike
This one goes out to Pat
I take this one deep for my physical Taheim Shabazz
This one goes out to the Almighty Supreme Easy E
This one also goes out to the Master Kevvon
I'ma take this mile-deep for Brooklyn
And I'ma slam one out left field for Queens
And knock a home run for Strong Island
This one also goes out to the Southside Posse
This one goes to the Paid In Full Posse
And I'ma take this one down for my man Barney Barn
And I'm also gonna say peace to all the gods
And I'm also gonna say, out
I've been trying to forget you
But somehow I can't let you
Forget about me
As you moved on to better things.
I've been lying in this gutter
With my heart filled up with sulfur.
So, light a match and trail it with gasoline,
Take you down with me.
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love
Why can't romance save us?
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love
Why can't romance save us?
There's a party in the backroom
With all the girls we've been through
And I looked for you but I guess you weren't there.
I'm tired and lonely and stupid and crazy.
The lies, the excuses - I'm totally useless.
My patience is fading,
You're so aggravating
And I can't even stand myself.
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love
Why can't romance save us?
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love
Why can't romance save us?
I'll drag you down forever,
Going to drag you down forever.
This just got serious,
This just got serious,
This just got serious,
This just got serious,
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love
Why can't romance save us?
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love
Why can't romance save us?
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love
Why can't romance save us?
This just got serious,
I'm done, I'm giving up.
And if this is true love

[INTRO:]
J-M-E,
A simple music lesson, think about it.
[VERSE 1:]
Everybody thinks to MC tough,
Your lyrics must be about negative stuff,
Go raving no-ones skanking,
Turn round I bet you someones shanking,
Just cause we come from the gutter,
And we know about scraping the bottom of the butter,
Don't mean we have to be sinners,
Major labels don't want killers,
Think, who's gunna sign a guy with a shank,
Or a guy with a 9 mil,
All you're gunna get is a 3 figure deal,
MC at a rave and get a bill,
But that bill ain't gunna last,
It will go fast and it mite be the last,
Shorts for a while so you won't have no dough for a while.
[CHORUS:]
To the beat,
Just bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance to the beat,
Just bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance or lean back,
Then bob ya head to the beat,
If you don't wanna dance to the beat,
Then bob ya head to the remix.
[VERSE 2:]
Don't talk to me about lyrics,
I know all your little gimmicks,
I know about rhyming dictionaries,
And I know about rhymes you got complete,
Go write some intelligent bars,
So man you know more than just cars,
Shanks, money,
Shanks, gash,
Shanks, weed,
Shanks, please,
Thanks cause recently,
I've been on a good vibe reason is cause,
I'm not average or decent,
And it's hard to write lyrics like these,
I mean it ask any artist,
Task any artist to write a bar that's positive,
Not talkin bout breasts
Or our bullet proof vests,
See I'm the best,
Imagine if every single MC lived by their word,
It word be impossible to get anywhere,
Cause gun shots would have occurred,
You couldn't even go to the video shoot,
Cause man would go to the video shoot,
Den he'd get away leaving feds and ambulances,
At your video shoot.
[HOOK:]

[VERSE 3:]
All this talk about reppin your endz,
I'm not making anymore friends,
It's an eder ting,
How long is it gunna take to realise it needs to end,
You're a waste man if your 29,
I ain't so posing by a road sign,
Think about your lifetime,
Before you hit 40 with a shank and a 9,
You need to start growing up,
Lyrics make you sound like you don't know enough,
You'll never be blowing up,
You make me sick like a drunk person throwing up,
Don't ignore me I'm writing politics,
About being bought by your brand new sword,
Don't act dumb,
Wiley warned you the level of MCing is going up,
Everybody is J-M-E,
Do not come try floss around me,
I don't care bout your J-A-C-O-B,
I'll munch you up like a BLT,
At last yeah it's me JME,
You won't have no waste man, just stay with me,
Cause I've got big DJ's playing me,
So don't say my name if you're not playing me.

Go on, why don't you try it out?
I don't know, my head's filled with doubt
Ah, go on, a little bit won't hurt
When you feel the whack of it, you'll see it's well worth it
Go on, give it a blast, in ten seconds flat you'll feel fantastic
Your head will be like rubber, your body like elastic
You'll be in God's arms with your thoughts all derelict
I don't know, I think it's fuckin' mad
That shit killed Anto Kelly's mom and dad
Ah, you're being all windy on me now
I was told you were handy when it came to a row
Fuckin' sure I am, ask anybody
I burst Paddy Lee last fuckin' Saturday
Don't be silly, man, sit down
All the boys is blasting off and they're all sound
Are you serious? Is he sound over there?
He's about to disappear into thin fuckin? air
Ah, man, you're lettin? me down
I thought you were the dirt of a lad around town
You won't get strung your first time doing it
It takes loads of times before you can't stop abusing it
Your dad doesn't care, he's drunk in the bar
Seen your ma headin' off in some strange fella's car
I have been feelin? really low lately
Feel the whole fuckin? world is against me and they hate me
Think I'll head home, I don't like this room
There's a bad smell of piss and the ceiling's peeling
Before you go, here's a freebie
Go home to your bed and you'll sleep like a baby
Ah, maybe
Serious, I'm afraid
There's a devil in the shade
Serious, I am scared
There's a devil in my head
Go on, man, get some of this shit into you
It's not gonna kill you, get it into you, sit here
And, oh, man, [Incomprehensible] of all that stuff
I seen Jem Quinn and what he's gone through in prison and all
Ah, man he's a fuckin? eejit, he's just stupid
That wouldn't happen to you
You know, you never know, man, I seen so many around
I seen all the heads around town goin? down
Ah, man, you're wimping out on me here
I thought you were a hard man with no fuckin? fear
I am, man, I fuckin? am
You saw me stickin? out that O'Connor kid
I fuckin? hopped off of him
Ah, rowin' is different, man, you know what I mean
Any fuckin? [Incomprehensible], that's all Babog shit
You'll see [Incomprehensible] when you take a hit
Serious, I'm afraid
There's a devil in the shade
Serious, I am scared
There's a devil in my head
Angel, come and save me
Angel, come and help me
Angel, come and save me
Ladies and gentlemen, we've had a lot of comedy songs on the album so far. This next song is a serious song. By Benny Davis. Ladies and gentlemen, Benny Davis.
Thank you, Jordan. I feel it is our responsibility as artists today, to try and deal with some serious issues that plague our world, and so this next song is about a very serious issue indeed. It is something that I've struggled with in my life, it is something that grips our nation -
And that issue, ladies and gentlemen, is animals escaping from zoos. Each year, less than 12 animals escape from zoos across the planet earth and wider surrounding regions. This issue not only affects the small and medium sized animals, but also the large, extra-large and double XL as well.
(What? What? What? Dude. What are you doing? Lee? Come on, man. Lee. Lee. Lee! OI! LEE! Cut it out!)
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I'm doing what we did in rehearsals.
Yeah, and I told you not to do this on the album.
Well, you said that in rehearsal as well. Are you still rehearsing?
(sigh) No, I stopped rehearsing at the point when I said, don't do this on the...
Well, I don't understand, what's the point of having a rehearsal if we don't do what we did in rehearsal, on the album?
(sigh) So you can work out what you're gonna do and what you're not! We said we weren't going to do this!
Well, people will probably think we're still rehearsing!
No they don't! Oh, for God's sake!
People won't pay money for a rehearsal!
(arguing)
WE DON'T HAVE HAVE A SONG ABOUT ANIMALS ESCAPING FROM ZOOS!... Thank you.
For fuck's sake.
Ahem... erm, so this song is about a very serious issue.
Very serious!
About a REAL issue, and that is something-
And that issue, ladies and gentlemen, is dark wizards.
Ah, for FUCK'S sake.
Each year, Lord Voldemort kills at least 12 muggles.
Jordan!
And Harry Potter's trying to raise money for Dumbledore's army, so just grab some -
Jordan! J-J-Jordan! What are you doing?
Harry Potter.
Why?
He's the best.
(sighs)But- th- Look, look. The song's about underage drinking.
Oooohhh!
Benny, that's a real issue!
(Yes.)
Yeah, we have a song about that.
Yes, I know.
Let's do that song!
(Yeah!)
Well, what do you think I've been trying to do?!
Baby, tell me
Are you serious
Hey, boy, you got me
So delirious
Why don't you
Stop playing games
Ooh, boy, do you think
You'll ever change
Baby, I don't know what I
Should do, no, about you
You sure make me feel
Like loving you, huh
You sure do, come on, baby
(Are you serious)
So tell me, your heart
Belongs to someone else
Baby, I just can't
Be killing myself
No, no, you got me
Going round and round
Honey, I can't seem
To settle down
Baby, I don't know what I
Should do, no, about you
You sure make me feel
Like loving you, huh
You sure do, come on, baby
(Are you serious)
Talk, talk about serious
Talk, talk about serious
Breaking hearts
Was my claim to fame
And I don't know
If I'm gonna change
But if I'm really
Gonna be your man
I'm gonna change
My ways if I can
Talk, talk about serious
Talk, talk about serious
You and me
Right from the start
Everything was fine
Then I broke your heart
So I'm telling you now
Like I told you then
If we can't be lovers
Let's just be friends
Baby, I don't know what I
Should do, no, about you
You sure make me feel
Like loving you, huh
You sure do, come on, baby
(Are you serious)
Breaking hearts
Was my claim to fame
And I don't know
If I'm gonna change
But if I'm really
Gonna be your man
I'm gonna change
My ways if I can
Talk, talk about serious
Talk, talk about serious...
You and me
Right from the start
Everything was fine
Then I broke your heart
So I'm telling you now
Like I told you then
If we can't be lovers
Let's just be friends
Talk, talk about serious
I’m a sentence spinner
An adjective machine
Spitting out syllables
Rarely say what I mean
All my shotgun statements
Are meant to confuse
Throw the dogs off the scent
That can lead to the truth
And expose me
But you see...
She’s calling my bluff
She’s taking me serious
Maybe I am too
She’s playing too rough
She’s taking me serious
Maybe it’s the truth
I’ve always made an effort
To put things in the way
Try to guard my heart
With a cynical gaze
But she’s been staring right back
Spending my time like cash
She’s been throwing down challenges
I might have met my match
You can lie so long
That you take it as truth
Then someone comes along
And reveals it to you
Can no longer hide
Behind a wink and a nod
Now the gig is up
Got to lay down all your cards
They say in every lie
There’s a clue to the truth
And she’s been collecting evidence
That she’s gonna use
She’s been dusting for heart-prints
And recording my face
When I open up my mouth
[Intro]
Here it is, there it is ladies and gentlemen
We got one more act
[Bakarat]
Yeah, y'all gone like this one
[Jus]
Tell em about it, Backarat
This yo man J-U-S and this track called "Serious"
Promatic featuring Eminem and Swift
[Eminem]
What's up with everybody beefin'
Everybody seem like they wanna beef
You know what I’m saying?
Everybody beefin' with everybody
This shit is crazy
[Verse 1: Dogmatic]
This is a bomb scare, fires on your hair
Terrorists live here, but I don't care
I'm making pot holes when I stomp, so don't stare
I stop to stomp competiton, with both fair
How dare, little soldier at ease
We shake down these streets, like Parkinson's Disease
We parking the road trees, plus load the weapons
Everything to six shooters, to high tech ones
If a green beans things, to my suggestion
Burn a big whole in your belly, like indigestion
With one question, who the fuck is Dogmatic
An underground nigga but this nigga's above average
It's serious! who can understand what I'm saying?
Yo Slim, tell them niggaz (Eminem: We ain’t playing!)
It's like you open a can of worms or smoked yams
I got bloody hands and burners that make you dance!
[Chorus: Eminem]
This shit is serious! Do you really want beef
Do you really wanna end up, missing yo front teeth
And see yo family, getting smoked like a blunt leaf
And wrapped up in a zip-lock bag, like lunch meat
This shit is serious! Do you really want beef
Do you really wanna end up, missing yo front teeth
And see yo family, getting smoked like a blunt leaf
And wrapped up in a zip-lock bag, like lunch meat
This shit is serious!
[Verse 2: Swifty McVay]
I'm the only one yo bitch to touch a
Type a brother that'll, fuck yo mother, wit a fishnet rubber
I'ma misfit slash, nitwit
I love to put up biscuts, straight to a niggaz lips, it'll fit
A biligerent and rowdy fellow
I'll dump yo body, and still fly away to Maui, on a teller
When it comes to beefin', it ain't no explain'
I'll change ya lauguage, wit a stainless
I'll contain, wit a name which to make you famous
I'ma deranged pit, I'll bang you till ya back touch ya anus
Don't ever take me to court, I'll whack the plantiff
Then beat the fuck out the baliff
A heniuos, miscellaneous, nigga never miss, when the AK lift
I paint ya face wit, any weapon, just like "The Matrix"
They ain't steppin', don't even say shit
You heard about the bodies in my basement, you joinin' them, face it
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Proof]
Laugh indictive, like Kim lipstick, and get a nose bleed
My blow speed, is like my hands working ten stick shifts
Captain ask, to stick my finger in the [???]
And snatching the driver out the black Benz
Smashing his contact lens, my life start when his contract ends
"Go kiss-and-tell, and contact Kim!"
Let's be factually, actually, y'all ain't after me
Got [???] wit +Regis+, y'all beef is without the +Kathy Lee+
Told y'all my battlery, and go to war happily
How you gon' call my bluff, when you scared to send a fax to me
My factulty guns drawn, one wrong move dudey
And it's too heads on ya body, into a gangster movie
For lot being real, scared to pop wit the steel
It got skeletons in my house, every closet is filled
Now how does it feel, with this Baretta to ya dome
And to know that ya mom's know, that you was never coming home
[Chorus: w/ Ab-libs]
[Outro: Eminem]
You know what I'm sayin'
You want beef, we taking it to yo face
Fuck it, Dirty Dozen, Slim Shady
[talking:]
Uh yeah, you niggaz feel me
Know what I'm tal'n bout, huh what what
[Big Mello:]
I broke bread in these streets fed these streets, bled these streets
Left hoes ass niggaz, dead in these streets
Still here, no nigga gon change my direction
Or residence, still on some ol' waven wooden fence
Posted up with AK, tal'n bout what it do
Fuck with mine nigga what, I'm blowing up your who-do
As far as you scary ass Hollywood niggaz, I give's a fuck bout what ya got
Or who you shot, you ain't next to Pac
With that studio plexing, yeah you bump to the mic
But get friendly, when you in a nigga sight iight
Now speak the truth and see who who, and what it do
And who the realest that escaped the shit, and who the damn fool
Check my rap sheet, pull me up check my case
I survived prison riots, without a scar on my face
I did mine never switched, never snitched like a bitch
I beat niggaz with clutched fists, you can't fuck with this
I'm the meaning of drama, ran away from my mama
Stood alone broke bones, for the cash rocked domes
Forever H-Town, body rocker slab trunk knocker
On dro, I come through your damn screen like a shocker
[Hook: x2]
I'm serious, huh
You can't fuck with the infamous, notorious
Bone hard ass nigga, yeah I gotta say this
You can't fuck, with that nigga Curtis Davis
[Big Mello:]
I don't piggy back niggaz, I rat-a-tat niggaz
I'm known to roam the streets, in a houpe full of killas
We gorillas, still swinging through the South on 3's
The pride of Hiram-Clarke, Sunnyside, Mo City
Ghetto gladiating, I'm beating Satan all the time
On the grind put it down, see Big Mello gon shine
You bitch made I'm homicidal, you suicidal
You paranoid, scary ass nigga I'm right behind you
Cause niggaz who talk about it, but see I be about it
I live that phsyco shit, you hoe ass niggaz rap about it
I been in high speed chases, way before Cops
Nigga what you sold rocks, I moved birds by the flock
Stacked grands before rapping, see the booth and never acting
See real hip-hop, ain't bout fashion or flashing
Or riding niggz dick, yeah to hit the top
I done heard niggaz flip flop, to get to a certain spot
[Hook x2]
[Big Mello:]
Southside hall of famer, made a mark in this city
Got game from Ice, K.B., Dre Dolla and Smitty
R.I.P. to fallen soldiers, but the kid still remains
One of the coldest in my era, ask my nigga Lil' James
Yeah fool I stepped out, wanted to get out the red
And I did what I had to do, to keep my family fed
No secret brain was cloudy, but a nigga still rowdy
Went hard in the paint, you hoe ass niggaz had to foul me
Can't stop me, sloppy carbon copies
I run circles round you feeble minded label ass, wanna be Gotti's
You watching too many movies, I'm a living horror flick
My life my life, Steven King will write about my shit
Beat the odds with God, still living to tell it
Bet a nigga won't pimp me, to sell no records
Gives a fuck about platinum, gives a fuck about gold
Ask these niggaz in the streets, they know Mello stone cold what

An ordinary world
with all the broken people
Hanging on for light
Struggling to survive
And how can I complain about the weather
When I see the others pain
My my it's serious
Why I'm so delirious
How can I explain, can I explain
the reasons why I stumble 'round in vein
I hear it on the news
Blinding are the headlines
Read between the times
The truth is compromised
Shattered promises
Can't see tomorrow changing for the best
My my it's serious
Why I'm so delirious
How can I explain, can I explain
the reasons why I stumble 'round in vein
My my it's serious
Why I'm so delirious

How can I explain, can I explain
the reasons why I stumble 'round in vein
Wish that I could see an extraordinary world
Changing for the best
