WILD
Dizzee Rascal Jessie J Big Sean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I go hard, let me tell you that it's worth it
Play the right cards, I ain't afraid to work it
Brush em right off, when they say I don't deserve it
Hands on my heart, you keep my fire burning

Ooh it feels so crazy when you scream my name
Love it when you rock me over every day
When I think about it I could go insane
Here we are as beautiful, I'm blown away

If this is a dream won't open my eyes
Am I asleep? No, I'm alive
I just can't believe that this is my life
In my fantasy we're running wild

If this is a dream won't open my eyes
Am I asleep? No, I'm alive
I just can't believe that this is my life
In my fantasy we're running wild

When it get rough, then the rain starts pouring
I turn up the heat cause the drama ain't important
Let em all talk talk, I'mma just ignore it
Hands on my heart, you you keep me moving forward

Ooh it feels so crazy when you scream my name
Love it when you rock me over every day
When I think about it I could go insane
Here we are as beautiful, I'm blown away

If this is a dream won't open my eyes
Am I asleep? No, I'm alive
I just can't believe that this is my life
In my fantasy we're running wild

If this is a dream won't open my eyes
Am I asleep? No, I'm alive
I just can't believe that this is my life
In my fantasy we're running wild

Today I woke up feeling like the mayor
I spend about an hour looking in the mirror
As I should, as much as I've been through
It's a wonder I look this damn good
I could probably make it out any situation that you try to put me into
If I swim with the piranhas, guarantee that I'mma probably have a fish dinner
I meet a young girl with a sexy shape
Like Jessie J, we escapade
Where its extra shade, she make me want to give in
Not take in like collection plates
Wow, all these wars, bras, cars, wall to wall, was all a mirage
And I could lose it all tonight just to show the world I could do it twice
It's my life

If this is a dream won't open my eyes
Am I asleep? No, I'm alive
I just can't believe that this is my life
In my fantasy we're running wild

If this is a dream won't open my eyes
Am I asleep? No, I'm alive




I just can't believe that this is my life
In my fantasy we're running wild
