Intro
Stormzy Lyrics

Look how far we've come
Reflecting on the progress made in life

Sitting on my car with Cons
Casually chatting with a friend named Cons

He told me that it's coming real soon
Cons informed Stormzy that something is happening soon

Like one more bang and then I swear you're gone
One more major breakthrough and success is almost guaranteed

I said fuck that, man, you're coming up too
Stormzy refuses to leave his friend behind and will bring him along

What's a man like me without his right hand man?
Stormzy values his friend Cons and recognizes his importance

Cuh brudda you was there from the get-go
Because Cons was there from the start, he deserves recognition and support

I'mma help you anytime that I can
Stormzy vows to always be there for Cons in any capacity

Yeah I'mma help you anytime that you need me
Stormzy reiterates his availability and willingness to assist Cons

Just be right there anytime I stand
In return, Stormzy expects Cons to be present for him

Now I'll get the Porsches, Range and the Bentleys
Stormzy has achieved success and can now afford luxurious vehicles

To come pick us up every time we land
Stormzy envisions living a lifestyle where he and Cons frequently travel by expensive cars

When them washed up dons tried to beef me
When Stormzy faced troubles and enemies in his career

Brudda you was there every time I banged
Cons was present to support Stormzy in those challenging times

I've had some real niggas feed me
Stormzy has received assistance and support from genuine people

I swear man I'll never ever bite that hand
Stormzy is grateful for the help he has received and will not betray those who have supported him

Look nigga I was gassed when Skepta tweeted at my tune
Stormzy was thrilled and excited when Skepta shared his music on social media

Just the fact that he's seen my stuff
The validation from Skepta, a respected artist in the music industry, meant a great deal to Stormzy

'Cause when you're coming from the bottom like me
Stormzy recognizes his humble beginnings and how far he has come

Little things like that, man, they mean so much
Small acts of recognition and support can have a big impact

When you're coming from the place I was raised up
Stormzy reflects on his upbringing and how it has shaped him

Everybody knows that the grind don't stop
Success requires consistent hard work and determination

Just waiting for the day when mon says let's buy a plane
Stormzy dreams of being able to afford to buy a plane

And I say "yeah, fuck it, why not"
Stormzy would enthusiastically agree to buying a plane if the opportunity arose

Now niggas wanna jump on the wave and I'm telling man straight
Other people are now interested in Stormzy's success and popularity

Man, you weren't never part of the club
Stormzy does not view these new supporters as true and genuine friends

I started ranting and raving
Stormzy became angry and upset about this situation

And Flipz said don't even talk too much
Stormzy's friend Flipz advises him not to dwell on the negative aspects and to stay focused on his goals

Flipz said remember the talks that we had on the roads
Flipz reminds Stormzy of past conversations they had while walking on the streets

And never lose sight of the dream
Stormzy must not forget his ultimate goal and aspirations

I said yo brother, this is bigger than me now
Stormzy feels a sense of responsibility to his team and family

I need to provide for the team
Stormzy wants to support and take care of his close associates

I need to give notes to my sisters
Stormzy aims to financially support his sisters and their dreams

I need to buy mumsy a fan
Stormzy wants to purchase something to improve his mother's comfort and well-being

And buy yards for the mandem
Stormzy wants to purchase properties for his male friends

So don't ever try tell me I'm selfish
Stormzy refutes accusations of being greedy for wanting to provide for his loved ones

I do this shit for the ones that I love
Stormzy is motivated by his love for his family and close friends

I do this for my bros 'cause they got me
Stormzy is grateful to his male friends for their support and wants to repay them

Yeah, I do this for the ones that I trust
Stormzy's motivation is partly due to his trust in the people who have been there for him

But nigga a change is coming
Stormzy believes that things are evolving and new opportunities are arising

Yeah that's way overdue 'cause mumsy's account was way overdrafted
Stormzy is due for a breakthrough because his mother's bank account has been in debt for too long

Yeah I've got so much to prove and there's so much to do
Stormzy still has many goals to achieve and wants to demonstrate his capabilities

But I know where I started
Stormzy remembers his humble beginnings and how far he has come

And I know where I'm heading, yeah, look, I've got nothing to lose
Stormzy is confident about his future and has a strong sense of direction

And I'm still out here grafting
Despite his current level of success, Stormzy is still working hard and grinding

Boss has taught me a lesson, I told her I owe it to you cuh
Stormzy acknowledges and appreciates a lesson learned from his boss and feels indebted to her

Boy, this shit's been a struggle ever since we were kids
Stormzy has faced obstacles and difficulties in life from a young age

Coming home late, not even a penny to my name
Stormzy grew up in a low-income household and struggled with finances

Wouldn't even bother looking in the fridge
Stormzy's family was unable to afford food and had empty refrigerators

I ain't ever been the kind of guy to complain
Stormzy has always had a resilient attitude and did not complain about his circumstances

You don't even ever me rapping 'bout pain
Stormzy rarely expresses his emotions or struggles through his music

Yeah man we've all got demons
Stormzy acknowledges that everyone has personal issues and battles to face

So I can't hold feelings, I just knuckle up and then I pray
Stormzy copes with his own demons by staying strong and relying on his faith

Just imagine if I didn't buss that case
Stormzy reflects on how different life would be if he had not achieved success in his music career

Just imagine if I caught bus that day
Stormzy thinks about how his life would be different if he had taken a bus instead of walking on a certain day

Mum's life, I was in a rush that day
Stormzy was in a hurry on that particular day

Swear man I'll never lose trust and faith
Stormzy pledges to always maintain trust and faith, despite the ups and downs in his life

So sorry if I come across angry
Stormzy apologizes for any angry outbursts or negative behavior

If I love you there's no need to fight me
Stormzy emphasizes the importance of love and support, and urges others to avoid confrontations

I'm just trying to be all that I can be
Stormzy strives to reach his full potential and live life to the fullest

I just hope I bring it home for the family
Stormzy wants to make his family proud and provide for them
