Tinie Tempah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's go
Yeah, yeah, we bring the stars out
We bring the women and the cars and the cards out
Let's have a toast, a celebration, get a glass out
And we can do this until we pass out
Let it pour away (yeah)
We won't come down
Until we hit the ground and pass out (yeah)
Yeah, I'm in charge now
I'm a star and I brought my fucking cast out
I live a very, very, very wild lifestyle
Heidi and Audrina eat your heart out
I used to listen to you, don't wanna bring arms out
I've got so many clothes I keep some in my aunt's house
Disturbing London baby, we about to branch out
Soon I'll be the king like Prince Charles child
Yeah, yeah, and there ain't nobody fresher
Semester to semester, ravin' with the freshers
Twenty light bulbs around my table and my dresser
CLC Kompressor, just in case that don't impress her
Say hello to Dexter, say hello to uncle Fester
Got 'em gazing at my necklace and my crazy sun protectors
G-Shocks, I got a crazy dumb collection
Haters, I can't fuckin' hear your reception
Yeah, yeah, we bring the stars out
We bring the women and the cars and the cards out
Let's have a toast, a celebration, get a glass out
And we can do this until we pass out
So, let it rain
Let it pour away (yeah)
We won't come down
Until we hit the ground and pass out
Yeah
This shit was meant to last me twenty-four hours, man
(Okay, okay)
Yeah, they say hello, they say hola and they say bonjour
I'm pissed I never got to fly on a Concorde
I've been Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe
I'm fucking crazy with the kicks, call me Jean Claude
I'm 'bout to be a bigger star than my mum thought
'Cause every day I got a groupie at my front door
Now I drive past the bus I used to run for
Where's my fucking clap, wheres my encore?
I walk alone, 'cause I was born alone
I chirps her just for fun, I never ever call her phone
I'll leave her in the club, I'll never ever walk her home
DL the fuckin' foundation, I'm the cornerstone
I'm kinda famous, I'm sorta known
And if your son doesn't, I bet your daughter know
Check out my visual, check out my audio
Extraordinary, yo, hope you enjoyed the show
Yeah, yeah, we bring the stars out
We bring the women and the cars and the cards out
Let's have a toast, a celebration, get a glass out
And we can do this until we pass out
So, let it rain
Let it pour away
We won't come down
Until we hit the ground and pass out
Uh, look at me I been a cheeky bastard, man and
Look at all the drama we started, now I'm
In here layin' on my back, sayin' DJ
Won't you gimme one more track?
So let it rain
Let it pour away
We won't come down
Until we hit the ground and pass out
So let it rain
Let it pour away
We won't come down
Until we hit the ground and pass out
