Children of the Sun Lyrics

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the Children of the Sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Bitch I'm a moon walker like Michael, sky walk all over my rivals
Both hands on that Bible, bitch I'm next in line for that title
When they got had nothing to do, what was I do, who was in the studio with Taio
We climbing high, we on the Kilimanjaro, and they're panicking
They don't really know what's happening
Never gotten clothes off a mannequin, we don't want no comparison
I overdose on extravagance, we went for gold and got platinum
I told my bro' to get an ambulance 'cause I caught a cold and went spazz on them
How can home be where the heart is,
When your shadow even fucking leaves you when you are in darkness
Still get stopped by Sergeant Pepper, looking for that ziggy stardust
After a lifetime of regret, I'm just looking for some answers

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

I had opportunity in my window, wise words in my kindle
Disturbing London, we here to ball, your team stuck in limbo
Like Freddie, Bruno and Ringo, I saw the signs and symbols
With that top down on my yellow ride, let bitches hate on my bimbo
I'm yards away from that milestone, international dial tone
Put me through amaro when you Instagram with your iPhone
From yellow bricks to them brown stones, I ring bells, I'm household
Look at all the rappers we outsold so keep your mouth closed, yeah
How did I become so jaded, maybe all these insecurities are making me feel naked
Feel like Harry did in Vegas, had my privacy invaded
That's a liberty a pity, the epitome of what fame is
Priest up in my parish, keep on putting me in their prayers
Swear I'd never sell my soul, my pride and dignity is too major, yeah
We rarely ever get those second chances, after a lifetime of regret
I'm just looking for some answers, yeah

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Looking for a light that can outshine the sun
I know one day our time will come
Bought a camera to capture these cinematic nights
Still don't satisfy my appetite for this lavish life
Tell me, doctor, am I fit for all these flashing lights?
Like Michael said, it doesn't matter if you're black or white
We got the colors of the sun to descend above us
All we have is each other in case you happen to wonder, let's go

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Children of the Sun

The second single from English rapper Tinie Tempah's sophomore album Demonstration is a stadium-rousing grime ballad that features John Martin. The Swedish singer-songwriter also contributed vocals to Swedish House Mafia's hit tunes "Save The World" and "Don't You Worry Child" as well as SHM member Sebastian Ingrosso's solo track, "Reload."

The song was premiered on BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe Show on September 12, 2013 and released on October 28, 2013.

The hands-in-the-air anthem sees Tinie reuniting with "Written In The Stars" producer Eshraque "iSHi" Mughal. The Swedish knob twiddler has also worked with such artists as Usher, Ne-Yo, Shakira, Lupe Fiasco, Cheryl Cole, Avicii, Example and Emeli Sandé.

Mosh Pit

This song features British rapper Dizzee Rascal and American Hip-Hop artist, Ty Dolla $ign. Speaking about the collaboration, with Capital FM, Tempah said: "It's very hard, it's very grimey. It's the complete opposite of what people would think we were gunning for. When I played the instrumental to Dizzee he was like, 'Thank god you didn't try and get me on something that you want to make a big hit'. It's very indie and underground and raw. I'm just taking it back to the basics."

Tinie told Q magazine that he's been listening to Dizzee Rascal since he was 12 and when it came to collaborating, he captured some of the pre-stardom Dizzee whose rhymes he adored as a kid. "I feel like I got the old Dizzee," he beamed. "Raw, spitting lyrics about whatever he felt like."

Someday (Place in the Sun) Lyrics

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

Someday (Place in the Sun)

Tempah explained in a track-by-track video that this song is about how he started in the cold, harsh streets of London and had to face many obstacles to get to where he is today (his "place in the sun").

The song features vocals by Virgin/EMI singer-songwriter Ella Eyre, who also sung on Rudimental's chart-topping single, "Waiting All Night."

Looking Down the Barrel Lyrics

Looking Down the Barrel

This track filled with boisterous boastings and laugh-out-loud punchlines follows on from where the Disc-Overy track "Obsession" left off. Tempah explained that he decided to fill the tune with "random retorts and different tangents he was going off on," concerning fame, life, relationships and success.

The song's Johnny Cash-flavoured beat was supplied by Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, and the song's sample of Gator Creek's 1970 track "Betty Jean's Mama" was selected by the electronica musician. "The beat is very odd," Tempah told The Sun. "It's grimey and there's a Johnny Cash-esque sample too. I'm always trying to flip it. I've put some weird lyrics in there too; just things that pop into my head. I think it's great for people to get into my mind. I think people were wondering 'Who is this guy?' It's important for me to let people in a bit more."

Tears Run Dry

This song was originally an instrumental by the German producer Crada, whose other credits include Drake's Thank Me Later track, "Fireworks." Strings were later added, then Tempah dropped some rhymes where he vented some personal thoughts. According to the rapper it was amended about 37 times due to constant adjustments and improvements.

This features vocals by Toronto born Berlin-based R&B songwriter/vocalist Sway Clarke II.

This should not be confused with the Amy Winehouse tunes "Tears Dry on Their Own" or "Tears Dry."

Shape Lyrics

Shape

This collaboration with American rapper Big Sean was produced by Diplo, who also helmed Demonstration's lead single, "Trampoline." Diplo told The Sun that he's a huge fan of Tempah: "I've never met someone who is so adamant about the way things should sound," he said. "It's good when someone has that confidence. He knows what he wants."

The song finds Tempah rapping:

"Let me see your shape, girl you're doing great
Her lips around my…
Said she'd only do it for Dre
If you play your cards right you can sip some of this ace."

Speaking with The Independent On Sunday, the interviewer questioned whether the lines are demeaning to the girl in question. Tempah replied: "I think lyrics are supposed to be playful. They're supposed to make you giggle and sometimes they're supposed to make you go, 'Hang on, what did he say? That's a bit naughty.' I don't want to demean anyone. But if all songs about sex were full of, 'Baby, I love you', it would be awful."
