Someday -
Tinie Tempah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They never have time to give you
They’re always on the run
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Your work has just begun
Someday you will find your place in the sun
Find a place in the sun
Find a place in the sun

Back to the beginning in fact no we’re winning
Thanks to the spectacular raps that I’m scribbling
It’s ‘Bachs that I’m driven in
Plaques in my living room
The stats match the facts man I'm back, back, back, back
Mama look we made it out the flats we was living in
Times I nearly thought I would collapse living in Britian
Smiling in pictures
Flying to fixtures
Never in denial cos the Nile is a river
Rappers on the sly try’na eye my elixir
Jealousy’s a crime bet your pride won’t resist ‘ya
To get to where I am I cried like I was injured
Bled like a soldier perspired like a sprinter
Brother said T keep an eye out from them rinsers
People that you hang with are trying to lynch ya
Never break down
I’ll be there to lift ya
You’re perfect how you are so why they trying to fix ya

They never have time toAnnotate give you
They’re always on the run
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Your work has just begun
Someday you will find your place in the sun
Find a place in the sun
Find a place in the sun

Away from the pain and the sadness
Soon the whole world is gonna understand my language
Everybody’s try’na find a method to the madness
Wankers hating on me ‘cos I did it single handed
Whatever will be will be even if you plan it
On the road to success but feeling like I’m stranded
Disturbing London ho, I don’t speak no other language
Started with a goal and then I ended with a hat-trick
Selling out arenas think it’s time to do a new tour
Pennies for the thoughts that I’m about to give you food for
Never show emotion even on a mood board
Sold my bandwagon then I went and bought a two door
Dizzee made me rap and rider made me get my groove on
I just wanna hit a billion views and do a tune Sean
Thinking ’bout life listening to too short
One day they’ll have a statue of me in Madame Tussauds

They never have time toAnnotate give you
They’re always on the run
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Your work has just begun
Someday you will find your place in the sun
Find a place in the sun
Find a place in the sun

For that spot I’ma use Cruella Deville power
Or do a Willow and Jaden and use my willpower
Victory is the sweetest defeat is real sour
Together we can move mountains rebuild towers
A lot of hurt still waiting for God to heal ours
Stand up and rebel again the real cowards

They never have time to give you
They’re always on the run (on the run)
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London (Disturbing London)




Your work has just begun (we’ve just begun)
Someday you will find your place in the sun

They never have time to give you
They're always on the run
But you keep on looking for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Work has just begun
Someday you will find a place in the sun
Hey... Hey
Find a place in the sun
Yeah... Yeah
Find a place in the sun

Back to the beginning, in fact, no going in
It's 'Bac's' that I'm driven in
Plaques in my living room
The stats match the facts man
I'm back back back back


Momma, look we made it out them flats we was living in
Times I nearly thought I would collapse living in Britain
Smiling in pictures
Flying into fixtures
Never in denial cause the Nile is a river
Rappers on the sly tryna eye my elixir
Jealousy's a crime bet your pride won't resist ya
To get to where I am I cried like I was injured
Bled like a soldier perspired like a sprinter
Brother said T keep an eye out from them rinsers
People that you hang with are trying to lynch ya
Never break down I'll be there to lift ya
You perfect how you was
So why are you trying to fix ya

Now, they never have time to give you
They're always on their own
But you keep on looking for a place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Work has just begun
Someday you will find a place in the sun

Away from the pain and the sadness,
Soon the whole world is gonna understand my language
Everybody's trying to find a method to the madness
Woah! Take it on because I did it single handed
What ever will be will be even if you plan it
On the roll to success feeling like I'm stranded
Disturbing London hoe I'll speak no other language
Started with a goal then I ended with a hat-trick

Selling out arenas think its time to do a new tour
Pennies for the thoughts that I'm about to give you food for
Never show emotion even on a mood board
Sold my bandwagon and I went and bought a two door
Dizzie made me rapper writer made me get my groove on
I just want to hit opinion views and do a tune Sean
Thinking about life listening to Too Short.
One day they'll have a statue with me in Madamme Tussaud

Now, they never have time to give you
They're always on their own
But you keep on looking for a place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Work has just begun
Someday you will find a place in the sun

For that spot I'ma use Cruella Deville power
Or do a Willow and Jaden and use my Will power
Victory is the sweetest defeat is real sour
Together we can move mountains rebuild towers
A lot of hurt still waiting for God to heal ours
Stand up and rebel again the real cowards

Hey... Hey
Find a place in the sun
Yeah

Now, they never have time to give you
They're always on their own
But you keep on looking for a place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Work has just begun
Someday you will find a place in the sun
