Stormzy - Ambition lyrics
[Verse 1: Raye] In August, I'm staring at rain clouds A descendant of London I watch as people are falling like rain Encouraged to seek other options I don't need other options You either eat it or you spit it out You're either silent or you run your mouth You breathe in or you breathe out I'm so cold but the sun's up Like it's winter all year, oh So welcome you to it now Oh, wait, that was my sound Could you dig it up or sweat it out? Could you give it up and sit down? But after that, I hope you know your place Cause you just gave me the damn crown [Chorus: Raye] And I'm gonna wear it proud Watch me as I wear it now I'mma ride this money like a wave This money like a wave, this money like a wave [Bridge: Raye] Now I made it this far, but this far ain't nothing If we're talking ambition, I think you should know that I don't wanna settle for nothing I wanna know that I got myself I wanna ride my money like a wave My money like a wave, my money like a wave, yeah [Verse 2: Raye] I want the future, I want the best view I'd like to buy all my day ones a house too Collie, Ben, Jodie, I got you I've got a list of everything I would do Make that dumb guy regret what he did do Then he'll be calling up my phone like "I miss you" Then I'll be like "haha, you can go now Cause you didn't wanna know when I told you I'm gonna make something of my life" Believe that, yeah babe I've got God, he is on my side And I'm a child of '97 so I plan to be on time And I'm ahead of this game Yes, I were meant for this life, oh [Chorus: Raye] And I'm gonna wear it proud Watch me as I wear it now I'mma ride this money like a wave This money like a wave, this money like a wave [Verse 3: Stormzy] You know I only phone back If I know that it's the money calling Tell 'em b**hes "do not phone back I am in the studio recording" Mummy, listen when I'm talking Mummy, listen, it's important I wasn't gonna tell you, but I thought I'd let you know That I just got us both a mortgage Now it's top floor with these fancy reservations I don't even like it, I'm just here for observations Tryna tell the difference from my people and my pagans Cuh' the last time that I slipped, I had a sticky situation I will never slip again, you can put that on my savings They wait for me to fall, I keep on waiting This feeling is amazing, how's it feel to hate the kid But deep inside, you know you rate him? Man, that sh** must be frustrating [Chorus: Raye] And I'm gonna wear it proud Watch me as I wear it now I'mma ride this money like a wave This money like a wave, this money like a wave [Bridge: Raye] Now I made it this far, but this far ain't nothing If we're talking ambition, I think you should know that I don't wanna settle for nothing I wanna know that I got myself I wanna ride my money like a wave My money like a wave, my money like a wave, yeah [Outro: Raye] Now I made it this far, but this far ain't nothing If we're talking ambition, I think you should know that I don't wanna settle for nothing
