Oh written in the stars A million miles away A message to the mane Oh Seasons come and go But I will never change And I'm on my way Let's go Yeah You're listening now They say they ain't heard nothing like this in a while That's why they play my song on so many different dials 'Cause I got more fuckin' hits than a disciplined child When they see me everybody brrap's, brraps Man I'm like a young gun fully black Barrack I cried tear drops over the massive attack I only make hits like I work with a racket and bat Look at my jacket and hat So damn berserk So down to earth I'm bringing gravity back Adopted by the major I want my family back People work hard just to get all their salary taxed Look I'm just a writer from the ghetto like Malory Blackman Where the hells all the sanity at, damn I used to be the kid that no one cared about That's why you have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out Oh written in the stars A million miles away A message to the mane Oh Seasons come and go But I will never change And I'm on my way Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Yeah, I needed a change When we ate we never took because we needed a change I needed a break For a sec' I even gave up believing and praying I even done illegal stuff and was leaded astray They say the money is the root to the evilest ways But have you ever been so hungry that it keeps you awake Mate, now my hunger would leave them amazed Great, it feels like a long time coming, fam' Since the day I thought of that cunning plan One day I had a dream I tried to chase it But I wasn't going nowhere, running man! I knew that maybe someday I would understand Trying to turn a tenner to a hundred grand Everyone's a kid that no-one cares about You just have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out Oh written in the stars A million miles away A message to the mane Oh Seasons come and go But I will never change And I'm on my way Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh written in the stars A million miles away A message to the mane Oh Seasons come and go But I will never change And I'm on my way
