Ed Sheeran - Radio lyrics

rate me

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

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

But now it’s a par

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

Sometimes I sit back and think Jamie just do one tune, make a couple G's and chill,

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

I didn’t go through all that for this

I’ll give that a miss, that’s just how it is, unfair, straight Who could tell me different, look at me, determined,

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

So like it or lump it, I’ma do this

[Chorus]

I never had a playlist in my heart, oho

Now I need an A list just to chart oho

but I’ve been famous from the start oho

How am I gonna make my mark oho oh

Are you gonna play me, though, song was never meant for the radio

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

How much will you pay me though? the song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh, oh,oh

Thank God for night clubs and the raves

Cause I don’t think they like us on the airwaves

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

I swear, I guess it matters what your goal is

Or in this music scene, what your role is

I’m still trying here, cause I’m a pioneer

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

See I’m just telling you the truth

Can't shoot the messenger, bullet proof booth,

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

Why is that? What’s going on there?

To tell you the truth, I don’t really care

I am my music, my music is me

Like it or not, this is how it’s gonna be

[Chorus]

I never had a playlist in my heart, oho

Now I need an A list just to chart oho

For I’ve been famous from the start oho

How am I gonna make my mark oho

Are you gonna play me, though, song was never meant for the radio

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

How much will you pay me though? the song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh,oho, oh

I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial

Playing through the speakers, rhythm by the pile,

So won’t you hear me out?

Never feel it from the base line, feel it in the club

Maybe I could take time singing for the dub

So won’t you hear me out?

Are you gonna play me, though, the song was never meant for the radio

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

How much will you pay me though? The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh

Are you gonna play me, though, the song never meant for the radio

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

How much will you pay me though? The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh.
