I'm Dreaming

[Intro: Reggie Yates?]

Welcome back to the Official Chart here on BBC Radio 1

And there is only one record left to play

It's Wretch 32 and Josh Kumra, this week's number one

Give them a round of applause, everyone

Three singles in, a number one

Wretch, what is going through your head right now?

All of a sudden, the room's became extremely hot

[Verse 1: Wretch 32]

I just woke up and saw everything that I dreamed of

That's why I never want a week off

That's why I feel happy whenever I throw a beat on

I'm doing it for a reason

Now the people that i look up to, they show love, see

Chris Martin shook my hand, kinda touched me

Black and White made him a fan, said it's a masterpiece

Sade rang me for a verse, I found it hard to speak

Ha, just wanted to make a difference

'Cause everyone's different ain't different, I didn't wanna fit in

Yeah, I'm under this roof but now I'm tryna figure how to lift it

Mr Olympic, face of the world's campaign

And we didn't even pop champagne

Some things been achieved, yes

But nothing's ben achieved yet, I'm tryna get in worldwide arenas

Believe me, I dream it

And if you know how serious I take my thoughts

Never break my rules

If I don't score my goals, I'ma break my balls

It's funny how my pride always breaks my fall

I fell through a couple floors, kicked down a couple doors

But I always lived to tell the tale to my son, of course

I told him "you believe and you'll achieve it"

He told me that he wants in on the remix

[Chorus: Rick Walker & Wembley host]

Tell me I'm dreaming ([?]) (Wretch! Wretch!)

Tell me I'm dreaming (it's my hardest thing) (Wembley, make some noise for Wretch 32)

Tell me I'm dreaming (I need you by my side)

Tell me I'm dreaming (and you know that I), oh

[Verse 2: Wretch 32]

I didn't even think about writing this verse

I just started closing my eyes, I'm sighting some words

Living to die, but dying to work

And that's the moral of the story, the title's 'the world'

I ain't focused on the glory or how much I earn

Look at the bigger picture, I'm redesigning it well

For now, I'm happy in the British thoughts

Me and Example running jokes at the Q Awards

So much to do, so little time

With this light of mine, I'm gonna make 'em blind

Shine like your firstborn's eyes when they open

Stars in my eyes now, I promise I can phone 'em

Shit got surreal when they wanted me on a soap

It really was a Wretch invasion on a whole

My fans didn't know it was staged, double show

I've gotta keep it real, I'm fucking with Hollyoaks

I weren't even in a role but really i'm on a roll

4x4, I really zip through the codes

Tour times tour, I really live on the road

But having said that, I'm really bringing it home

I'm really bringing it on and I'm just getting it started

Team full of soldiers, guess we're all marching

Do it for the culture, forget about the chart ting

But if I keep charting, we'll all keep laughing

Laughing all the way to the bank, haha

I had the first cry so I'm having the last laugh

The future in the present, I told you that int he past

My mind is a weapon, I'm never being disarmed

Cha

I've been shooting down my targets

My ambition is an everlasting cartridge

The passion that my management's armed with

Will kill 'em with success if they tell us that we can't win

[Bridge: Rick Walker]

It's alright, it's okay

I'll be fine

I'm not myself

I've been losing my mind

I've been up for so long

I cannot sleep at night

'Cause I can see your face

Every time I close my eyes

[Chorus: Rick Walker]

Tell me I'm dreaming ([?])

Tell me I'm dreaming (it's my hardest thing)

Tell me I'm dreaming (I need you by my side)

Tell me I'm dreaming (and you know that I), oh

[Outro: Nick Bright? & Wretch 32]

Without tryna put anyone in these boxes

It's just a big moment for a scene

You've got a lot of people that look up to you as a lyricist

And feel that you represent them

And the music that they like and are a part of as well

So I think it's a big moment, man

It's a historical moment

It's been forever, Nick

And, you know, I released my... it's weird because, to today

That's when I picked up the first, you know, the copies of my first mixtape, 'Learn from My Mixtape'

And it was actually, like, the 24th of April five years ago

Wow

I know that because that was the day my son was born, and it's his birthday today, he's five
