Stormzy - Ultralight Beam (Kanye West Cover in the Radio 1 Live Lounge) lyrics

[Intro] Radio 1 Live Lounge Myself Stormzy This is a glorious occasion Yeah, check it [Hook] We on an ultralight beam We on an ultralight beam This is a God dream This is a God dream This is everything (Everything) [Verse] Yo, yeah, yo, they told me that by this time it would all be over But I ain't running out of luck, I treat the game like poker I know they put me on the poster just to match the quota I'd rather be a Lionel Messi than a Frankie Zola 'Cause these old guys are washed and they're just getting older And I ain't sending for the legends, that was for the cobras Who move sour like I ain't been tryna spread the culture And put my heart into this game like I'm some flipping donor Days are getting dark, the nights are getting colder And my city's getting worse, this stuff is getting vulgar Pop a one Corona, Henny with some Coca Cola Man, I was homeless I was sleeping in my dusty motor But now we're always beefing with some bad promoters Who tell us not to smoke on stage, but we're a bunch of smokers For my fallen soldiers, rest in peace to Damilola It's like I'm either very turnt or I'm just very sober I'm either very ga**ed or I'm very reserved I'm a wizard with the math, but I'm better with words Say a prayer, then I watch all my enemies burn Listening to Raleigh Ritchie or Melanie Burns Mandem ask me for the help, then I send them a verse A bunch of favors that will probably never return And every medal on my shelf is a medal that I've earned And I refuse to sign a deal on some terrible terms That's why I'm unsigned, moving like I am signed 'Cause the mandem got their stuff together quick and made a brand shine And trying to make a speedy little flip, that's not the plan, guys Put everything into my flipping graft and watch it backfire God forbid I ever let a label run my life So if I ever sign a deal, just know I done it right A little rum and Sprite's boosting up my summer nights Someone tell the DJ pull it back, a brother's coming nice I pray I never ever lose the sight of things It's not the major ones, it's more the minor things 'Cuh every time I make another rack I know my brother's in the trap and he's just waiting for his line to ring And I'm supposed to be the one to bust the mandem I hope my brothers know that I still love the mandem It's just another day in the life But I'd rather pay your mortgage than to pay for your flight You feel me? You see, just imagine when we're 35 23 at the top, that's an early rise With a model in the Hilton eating curly fries Damn, what can I say, I lead a merky life I was saving up my money just to buy a llama 'Cuh I refuse to be a victim in the hype and drama Call me Mike Obama, messing with some higher karma Smoking on dat, smoking on dat Maya Jama [Hook] (We on an ultralight beam) We on an ultralight beam This is a God dream This is a God dream This is everything (Everything) Hear me out, yo We on an ultralight beam We on an ultralight beam This is a God dream This is a God dream This is everything (Everything) Radio 1 Live Lounge Yeah We on an ultralight beam (We on an ultralight beam) This is a God dream (This is a God dream) This is everything Everything, yeah [Outro] This is what it sounds like when South London needs salvation (Yeah) We refuse to compromise (Yeah) We refuse to settle (Yeah) This is a God dream
