Me Against Myself Lyrics


Jay Sean versus Jay Sean
Me against myself
And there ain't no chorus
So just listen
MentorOh, girl, you look so beautiful
With that moonlight shining on you
I wanna hold you
I wanna touch you and squeeze you
And love you all night long, oh, baby girlYo I've heard it before, so save all the cliches
I really can't believe there's no talent around these days
Jay Sean with the same old shit
Talking about baby girl that and baby girl thisI seen you dancing around with the girl in your vid
Pouting at the camera, smiling with the cheesiest grin
What the deal? Whatever happened to keeping it real?
Back in the day when you was rapping, before the time of your dealAnd now you got signed, well, it's all clear and it's simple
You're only making music that you pretend that you're into
Come on dance with you was never a hit fool
And what the hell is taking you so long with your next single?

(Fix up)Fix up? It's been about six months
And insults are everywhere
Even your own fans think your shit sucks
(I don't like Jay Sean)
And I know you pretend to ignore it
It's gotta hurt when you're even getting dissed on your own forumYeah, I've done my research back when you started for
Back when people thought you was the genuine article
Genuine my ass, you're just a wack imitation
The only thing different about you is the fact that you're AsianWell, I guess it must've helped a bit
The fact that everything that has an Asian twist
Including music, I guess we're calling it
I'm surprised that Simon Cowell hasn't thought of itAnd there's issues that I find myself being faced with
Being pigeon holed and accused of imitating
It's a struggle and it's so frustrating
Telling me I'm tryna be the Asian Craig DavidAnd I bet that just had you in tears
Wasn't that the reason you ended up shaving your beard?
I guess you couldn't take the way people would mock that
So it was off with the jaw line and goodbye to the sock hatBut you still a bit of style with the fastest singing
On verse two of 'Dance with you'
Now you wonder why they couldn't slander youWell, you say you done your research, baby
You didn't look hard enough, it needs updating
If you think that I'm copying Craig
Listen to my 1994 demo tape
I was fast rapping and singing back in the day
Back in the fush niggas and Big L phaseWhatever, it seems you sold your soul to the game
You're a fake 'cause Jay Sean ain't even your name
So how'd you come up with that? It ain't unique after all
What are you? Like a cross between Jay-Z and Sean Paul?You're better off with the name you was born
You little pansy you really should have been called gay porn
So which one's your lover? Rishi Rich or Juggy D?
Probably Rishi, he sees you as his bitch, doesn't he?Wasn't he the one responsible for launching your career?
Like a while ago, I'm talking like well over a year
You were studying medicine then, but you quit that now
To do music, how the hell did you manage to flip that 'round?And how'd you tell your parents
You know how shit that sounds
"Mummy Daddy, I want to be a pop star"
"Sit back down"But never the less, I quit, went ahead and progressed
Had my eyes on my goal and wouldn't settle for less
What do you mean?You only got where you are 'cause of a gimmick
The whole Indian thing was big and you were luckily in it
And don't be upset if people don't come to your shows
They're not allowed out 'cause half of your fans are eleven year olds
(Jay Sean)Wow, big deal you got to number 12
I'm not surprised If your mum brought half of the copies herself
You know what I'm tired man, I'm sick, I'm bored of you
Run off, you little puppet, I hear Rishi Rich calling youI guess you talk the talk but you were rapping for years
And it was me who got your foot in the door
It seems that your ego has been suffering blows
'Cause you only get heard when you guest appear on my showsI'm not phased, if it wasn't for me
You wouldn't be on this track in the first place

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Kamaljit Singh Jhooti (born March 26, 1981 in Southall, London), better known by his stage name Jay Sean, is a British R&B singer-songwriter and actor signed to Cash Money Records. He released his debut album, Me Against Myself in 2004 and his sophomore release, My Own Way, in 2008. His third studio album, All or Nothing, was released November 2009. The first single from the album, Down, featured Lil' Wayne and hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The first official single from Jay Sean's fourth studio album, "Worth It All", "I'm All Yours" was sent for airplay on April 18, 2012. The song features rapper Pitbull.

When it comes to the business of being a singer there are artists, there are stars and there are phenomenons. Jay Sean is all of the above. The proof is in the press, the sales, the fans and above all, the music.

ALL OR NOTHING is both Jay Sean's first American release and first for Cash Money/Universal Republic Records. But while it's his debut over here, the 29-year-old Pop/R&B singer/songwriter/producer has been a major sensation and multi-platinum artist over there since 2004; releasing two smash albums, scoring two top ten singles, nominated for Britain's heralded MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Award twice and building a worldwide, fervid fan-base that stretches from Russia to Australia to NYC.

In some ways ALL OR NOTHING is the best of both worlds. Featuring sizzling, brand new tracks like the lead off single "Down" (featuring label mate Lil' Wayne), ALL OR NOTHING also includes some of the songs that helped Jay Sean blow up around the rest of the world.

One of those songs is "Ride It" written "strictly on a vibe," built on a hypnotic, sinewy track, and delivered with Jay Sean's slick vocals. The video for "Ride It" clocked an astonishing 12 million hits on You Tube (20+ million hits across all online video channels) and captivated fans everywhere; including Cash/Money Records CEO and co-founder, Ronald "Slim" Williams who was turned on to Jay Sean's music by one of the singer's producers. Slim liked what he heard and proved it by making Jay Sean the first UK artist to join the Cash/Money family.

The match up of Nawlins swagger and UK Pop/R&B drives ALL OR NOTHING's first single "Down" ft/ Cash/Money soldier Lil' Wayne. Already taking radio by storm, "Down" resulted from a conversation that began about what's wrong in the world, and blossomed into a celebration of everything that's right - namely love.

Offers Jay Sean, "I'm a very positive, optimistic person and thought let me write a song about the idea that if you've got someone special in your life then nothing else really matters how you need to appreciate the little things. The title is a play on the word 'down.' That's why Lil' Wayne says, 'Are you down like the economy.' It's a fun, very easy track something to pump in your car."

Another mid tempo breeze born out of real life is "War." The message? "To battle with anybody, whether it's your girl, family or another country never solved anything," explains Jay Sean.
It is that mix of introspection and keenly crafted Pop/R&B songs that has brought Jay Sean from where he was to where he is.

Born and raised in London, England and of Indian/Punjabi heritage, Jay Sean started rapping at 12 and credits rap with helping him structure, produce and write songs. Inspired by R&B stars Jodeci, Brian McKnight, Joe, and Musiq Soulchild, Jay Sean started singing hooks and then stepped it up.

Amazingly, at the same time he was exploring his artistic side, Jay Sean was at med school; surely a steadier profession than "pop-star." Luckily Jay Sean's parents had his back.
"It wasn't as though they suddenly went 'you sing?' Jay Sean laughs. "They knew there might be a strong possibility I'd do music. They told me, 'The same way you apply yourself to your studies you have to work hard doing music.' That's always stayed with me."

Jay Sean's songs caught the attention of a producer putting together a groundbreaking project fusing traditional Punjabi music and contemporary Pop/R&B. As soon as the single dropped, Jay Sean became the face and voice of a new generation.

"It was so interesting that the kids who love listening to Pop/R&B and traditional Indian music said, 'What the hell is this, it's brand new.'"

Along with galvanizing a heretofore, untapped demographic, Jay Sean caught the ears of the industry, because as he explains, "The English labels knew I had this huge following.

His solo debut ME AGAINST MYSELF dropped in 2004 and exploded on the Internet. Jay Sean toured through Europe, South East Asia, as well as spot dates in the US. He even performed, with Akon, at the Ruler of Dubai's daughter's sweet sixteen. In India, this album outsold Jay-Z, Britney Spears and Madonna.

"I have a heavy fan-base in many countries including India. I'm in a minority culture but in many countries, there's still Indians there and they all knew me," says Jay Sean.

After dealing with creative issues and the desire to change his musical direction to straight-forward Pop/R&B, Jay Sean made the decision in 2008 to go for self.
"I realized I had a global fan base so why not make the music myself?"
Those instincts paid off and then some when MY OWN WAY, his first release on his own label, Jayded Records, out sold and then some Jay Sean's prior effort. The album peaked at #6 on the UK album chart.

All of which brings Jay Sean to ALL OR NOTHING and a future that is just beginning.
Speaking with a refreshing mix of humility and confidence, Jay Sean says, "I've got a different up-bringing and take on a music that you guys make so well and would like to think that I'm a fresh new face and voice. Hopefully American audiences will like it. People always like a change. That's what I have to offer."
