Stormzy Premieres Incredible 'Gang Signs & Prayer' Film
The grime star makes a movie...
Wednesday, September 27, 2017 - 12:57
Stormzy has made a movie out of his music, premiering the film Gang Signs & Prayer in London last night.
The film, supported by YouTube, shares the title of his debut album and is a 16-minute depiction of the grime star's life set to some of the tracks including 'Return Of The Rucksack', 'Bad Boys' and '100 Bags'.
The short film is a visually realisation of the music and Stormzy's story, as it chronicles his "inner battles and temptations as he becomes master of his own destiny," according to a press release.
I'm sorry that I'm late
And I missed your call
But you know night turn into day
I didn't stop to pause
I know I never see your face
And baby, that's my fault
But I'ma fix all my mistakes
So don't stress no more
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush

You don't ever let me down
You don't ever let me down
Got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
All those other girls just look
They ain't never takin' your crown
And girl I know it gets on your nerves sometimes
When I don't answer my phone
And yeah I double back on my words at times
But please don't start with that tone, 'cause girl
I love you, you know, but I can't be there
But when I get home, just roll my weed, yeah
What's mine is yours, give you space to breathe here
Just weed and cush, that's a major key here
Yeah, then you play me a song
Smokin' smoke 'til we're wavy and gone
Come home from a long hard day with the dons
Like where's my baby? I'm sorry it's been long
I'm sorry that I'm late
And I missed your call
But you know night turn into day
I didn't stop to pause

You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
As much as you think you're a thorn
In the way that you feel, I come home
Every day when it rains
But it's real
Between us, ground so far beneath us
Sometimes I can't read ya
But it don't mean I won't treat ya
To a blunt full of that reefer
We may get in fights
But I could never see me leavin'
Somethin' 'bout our [?] the high can bring us
Sober just don't please us
If you're wondering, yeah, I'm still here because I see us
But Mary makes it easy to talk to you
Aww, yeah
'Cause sometimes I just can't spill my thoughts to you
I took you in every day
At the end of every day I belong to you
Belong to you
I'll still pass the bong to you
I'll write a song to you
I'll do no wrong to you
I'm sorry that I'm late
And I missed your call
But you know night turn into day
I didn't stop to pause
I know I never see your face
And baby, that's my fault
But I'ma fix all my mistakes
So don't stress no more

Down, down, down, down
It's been like a month now
Since you left my side
Got me smokin' a blunt now
But there ain't no vibe
'Cause I fucked up badly
All I did was push
Now there's no more weed
No more cush
And I'm deep in the south side
And I can't find love
I was lookin' for my brown skin
Tryna find that buzz
Now what have you done, Stormz?
Now what have you caused?
And we weren't just bredrens
We were so much more
Girl you was my hero
The beat to my heart
And them tears on your face
Man they tear me apart
Man I just wanna fix you
Fix what I broke
No covers on the sofa
No more smoke
And I pray God saves you
Man I pray all night
I just wanna say thank you
'Cause you saved my life
But I cut you deep
And I know how it looks
Now there's no more weed
No more cush
No more cush
No more cush, yeah
Now there's no more cush
No more cush
And I missed your call
But you know night turn into day

Directed by Rollo Jackson, Gang Signs & Prayer combines narrative and live performances, showcasing a different side to Stormzy while treating fans to a preview of his epic live shows.
Explaining the movie, Stormzy said, “Young youts like myself, that grow up in the hood, we often don’t know that we are actually the masters of our own destiny."
“There are so many things that steer us in the wrong direction however, we decide what happens in our own lives and like my album, I endeavoured for this film to portray just that."
Gang Signs & Prayer - the album - was the first ever grime album to hit number one in the UK Albums Chart when released earlier this year, and we know a lot of people will be waiting for this.

Hold up, no, you didn't bow, bow
