JME

Jamie Adenuga (born 4 May 1985) from Hackney, London, better known by his stage name JME, is an English grime artist with African roots from Nigeria. He is the co-founder of the crew and label Boy Better Know. Adenuga was previously a part of the grime crew Meridian along with his brother, Joseph Adenuga (also known as Skepta.) As well as working with Boy Better Know, Adenuga now focuses mainly on his own solo ambitions. Unknown to many, the phrase "Boy Better Know" originated as a catchphrase from fellow Meridian Crew member and the founder of the label, Big H. JME has appeared on many grime DVDs including Practice Hours where Bossman, Big H and JME did a freestyle over the beat to his hit single 'Serious.' more »

I'm a ghetto superstar
I've loved music since I was three
I was brought up in England slums
So you definitely can't take
The hood from me, trust me
I'm used to coming home late after school
Puffing
Listening to Roll Deep tapes on my wall
It's nothing
Now I've made the tapes become real life
'cause
If there's a Roll Deep rave, I'm inside, bruv
Don't watch that guy in the
Corner looking at my face
I know the bouncers get me
And I've got my shank in my waist

Ghetto superstar
Ghetto superstar (I'm a ghetto superstar)

I'm getting older now
But I'm still advanced for my age
And I think it's about time that I
Am the star on that stage, i swear
Last week, I did a video
Shoot with Scorcher and T, yeah
Green screen, when it comes out
Look hard and you'll see me there
But I don't wanna be that
Extra person in the vid
I'm a superstar, book me and pay me 500 quid
Straight
I wanna roll round in a tinted limousine
Right now
Gotta settle with the tinted screen
Of my Punto, no qualms, it's all good though
'Cause I'm repping my ends and all
The mandem from the hood know
You can't come round here, I'm an MC
But don't get it twisted
I will still kill like 50

Ghetto superstar
Ghetto superstar (I'm a ghetto superstar)

Blud, I'm a ghetto superstar
I do music but I'm still street
That's how I roll, I've got
A chaps, chain, phone, dough
And all of the mandem know I'm on show
Look who's in my ends
It's that prick from the Roll Deep rave
With my blade, he's gonna get
More than a quick close shave
Now I've done the crime
I've gotta face the court case
Oh my days, not even I
Knew it would be this grave
The court case ain't looking too good
Right now I wanna die rah, mum, don't cry
You know why?

I'm a ghetto superstar
Ghetto superstar (I'm a ghetto superstar)

So now I'm locked up
And it's a joke 'cause I don't care
Watch, I'm counting down the days
Til I get out of here
Then I'ma write lyrics about it
Like Ghetto did so all them other kids
Can be like me

Ghetto superstar
Ghetto superstar (I'm a ghetto superstar)
Ghetto superstar ghetto superstar
