Radio

[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 it's a par I'm 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 I'll never do it, I swear I didn't go through all of that for this I'll give that a miss, that's just how it is I'm 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, I'ma 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 I've 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, I'm just doing my thing And I don't 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 don't 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 I'm still trying here, 'cause I'm a pioneer I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears See, I'm just telling you the truth Can't shoot the messenger, bulletproof booth You won't hear me on the radio But go to the rave, and the crowd, they're raising roof Why is that? What's going on there? To tell you the truth, I don't really care I am my music, my music is me Like it or not, this is how it's 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 I've 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, I'm just doing my thing And I don't 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 won't 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 won't 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, I'm just doing my thing And I don't 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, I'm just doing my thing And I don't 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
