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
Ayy, hey
Find your place in the sun
Yeah, yeah
Find your place in the sun
(Sun, sun, sun, s-)

Back to the beginning, in fact, no, we're winning (woo)
Thanks to the spectacular raps that I'm scribbling
It's 'Bachs that I'm driven in (yeah)
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 (woo)
Times I nearly thought I would collapse living in Britian
Smiling in pictures (yeah)
Flying to fixtures (yeah)
Never in denial 'cause the Nile is a river (woo)
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 (yeah)
Bled like a soldier, perspired like a sprinter (woo)
Brother said, "T, keep an eye out from them rinsers"
"People that you hang with, are trying to lynch ya"
Never break down (nah)
I'll be there to lift ya
You're perfect how you are, so why they trying to fix ya?

No, they never have no time to give you
They're always on the run
But you keep on working for a 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 (find) your (your) place in the sun

Away from the pain and the sadness (yes)
Soon the whole world is gonna understand my language (yeah)
Everybody's try'na find a method to the madness (yeah)
Wankers hating on me 'cause I did it single-handed (woo)
Whatever will be will be, even if you plan it (yeah)
On the road to success, but feeling like I'm stranded
Disturbing London, ho, I don't speak no other language (no)
Started with a goal and then I ended with a hat-trick (woo)
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 (never, no)
Sold my bandwagon then I went and bought a two-door
Dizzee made me rap and Ryder made me get my groove on (yeah)
I just wanna hit a billion views and do a tune, Sean
Thinking 'bout life listening to Too $hort
One day they'll have a statue of me in Madame Tussauds

No, they never have no time to give you
They're always on the run (on the run)
But you keep on working for a 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 (find) your (your) 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 (yeah)
A lot of hurt still waiting for God to heal ours (ayy)
Stand up and rebel against the real cowards (yeah)

Find your place in the sun (yeah)

No, they never have no time to give you (uh-uh)
They're always on the run (on the run)
But you keep on working for a place in the sun (just keep going)
When the lights go out in London (Disturbing London)
Your work has just begun (we've just begun)
Someday you will find (find) your (your) place in the sun Writer/s: Eric Turner, Eshraque Ishi Mughal, Patrick Okogwu
