Oh written in the stars 00:02

A million miles away 00:06

A message to the main 00:09

Oh 00:11

Seasons come and go 00:14

But I will never change 00:16

And I'm on my way 00:19

Lets go 00:22

Yeah 00:23

You're listening now 00:24

They say they aint heard nothing like this in a while 00:25

Thats why they play my song on so many different dials 00:28

'Cause I got more hits than a disciplined child 00:30

So when they see me everybody brrrrrap, brrrrrrap 00:33

Man I'm like a young gun fully black Barrack 00:35

I cried tear drops over the massive attack 00:38

I only make hits like I work with a racket and bat 00:41

Look at my jacket and hat 00:43

So damn berserk 00:45

So down to earth 00:46

I'm bringing gravity back 00:47

Adopted by the major I want my family back 00:48

People work hard just to get all their salary taxed 00:51

Look I'm just a writer from the ghetto like Malory Blackman 00:54

Where the hells all the sanity at? Damn 00:57

I used to be the kid that no one cared about 01:00

Thats why you have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out 01:02

Oh written in the stars 01:05

A million miles away 01:08

A message to the main 01:11

Oh 01:14

Seasons come and go 01:16

But I will never change 01:19

And I'm on my way 01:22

Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh) 01:26

Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh) 01:29

Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh) 01:32

Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh) 01:34

Yeah, I needed a change 01:37

When we ate we never took because we needed a change 01:38

I needed a break 01:42

For a sec, I even gave up believing and praying 01:44

I even done illegal stuff and was leaded astray 01:46

They say that money is the root to the evilist ways 01:49

But have you ever been so hungry that it keeps you awake? 01:51

Mate, now my hunger would leave them amazed 01:54

Great, it feels like a long time coming, fam 01:57

Since the day I thought of that cunning plan 02:00

One day I had a dream I tried to chase it 02:03

But I wasn't going nowhere, running man 02:05

I knew that maybe someday I would understand 02:08

Trying to turn a tenner to a hundred grand 02:11

Everyones a kid that no one cares about 02:13

You just have to keep screaming until they hear you out 02:16

Oh written in the stars 02:18

A million miles away 02:21

Oh written in the stars

A million miles away

A message to the main

Seasons come and go

But I will never change

And I'm on my way

Lets go

Yeah

You're listening now

They say they aint heard nothing like this in a while

Thats why they play my song on so many different dials

'Cause I got more hits than a disciplined child

So when they see me everybody brrrrrap, brrrrrrap

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

Thats why you have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out

Oh written in the stars

A million miles away

A message to the main

Seasons come and go

But I will never change

And I'm on my way

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 that money is the root to the evilist 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

But I will never change (we won't change)

And I'm on my way
