Radio Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 Hi, my name is JME, there was a time when radio played me

2 Cause my music came from my heart, it was real to me

3 But now it's a part

4 I'm here struggling, keeping it real, while the rest of them are hustling, seeking a deal

5 Sometimes I sit back and think, JME just do one tune, make a couple Gs and chill

6 The reason I started making music is the exact same reason that I'll never do it, I swear

7 I didn't go through all of that for this,

8 I'll give that a miss, that's just how it is, unfair. Straight,

9 Who can tell me different? Look at me, determined,

10 Man on a mission, my music is me, and I am my music

11 So like it or lump it, I'ma do this

12 [Chorus]

13 I never had a playlist in my heart, ooh

14 Now I need an A list just to chart

15 But I've been famous from the start

16 How am I gonna make my mark? ooh

17 Are you gonna play me though? this song was never meant for the radio

18 I get it in forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

19 How much will you pay me though? If this song's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh

20 Thank God for night clubs and the raves

21 Cos I don't think they like us on the airwaves

22 Unless we water it down, but cordial music is boring me now

23 I swear, I guess it matters what your goal is

24 Or in this music scene, what your role is

25 I'm still trying here, cause I'm a pioneer

26 I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears

27 See I'm just telling you the truth

28 Can't shoot the messenger, bullet proof booth,

29 You won't hear me on the radio, but go to the rave, and the crowd, they're raising the roof

30 Why is that? What's going on there?

31 To tell you the truth, I don't really care

32 I am my music, my music is me

33 Like it or not, this is how it's gonna be

34 [Chorus]

35 I never had a playlist in my heart, ooh

36 Now I need an A list just to chart

37 But I've been famous from the start

38 How am I gonna make my mark? ooh

39 Are you gonna play me though? this song was never meant for the radio

40 I get it in forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

41 How much will you pay me though? If this song's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh

42 I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial

43 Bleeding through the speakers, rhythm by the pile

44 So won't you hear me out?

45 Never feel it from the bassline, feel it in the club

46 Maybe I could take time singing for the dub

47 So won't you hear me out?

48 Are you gonna play me though? this song was never meant for the radio

49 I get it in forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

50 How much will you pay me though? If this song's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh

51 Are you gonna play me though? this song was never meant for the radio

52 I get it in forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

53 How much will you pay me though? If this song's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh
