Ambition (feat. Stormzy)

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 around

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

And I'm gonna wear it proud

Watch me as I wear it now

I'm a ride this money like a wave

This money like a wave, this money like a wave

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

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

And I'm gonna wear it proud

Watch me as I wear it now

I'm a ride this money like a wave

This money like a wave, this money like a wave yeah

You know I only phone back

If I know that it's the money calling (it's the money calling)

Tell 'em bitches do not phone back

I am in the studio recording (I am in the studio recording)

Mummy, listen when I'm talking (mummy, listen when I'm talking)

Mummy, listen, it's important (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 shit must be frustrating

And I'm gonna wear it proud

Watch me as I wear it now

I'm a ride this money like a wave

This money like a wave, this money like a wave

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

Now I made it this far, but this far ain't nothing

Oh if we're talking ambition, I think you should know

That I don't wanna settle for nothing
