This world won't tear me down
It's I who wears the crown
They hate to see me now
There's greatness all around
Destined for greatness
Back in school days I was known for my lateness
Always wanted more, wouldn't ever try to take less
Always been a real guy, never liked the fakeness
Never liked the fakeness, always kept it real though
Back to back on the track with my lil' bro
Keep our heads high, but we work with our heads low
Destined for greatness, it was known from the get-go
Known from the get-go, written in the stars
Pulling all the strings, like we're playin' on guitars
Putting all the work so we know it's really ours
And now we whip it 'round in matching cars
Now we're rollin' 'round in matching whips
If we wanna go abroad, we just pay for trips
But it's not by chance, ain't talking lucky dips
Just kinda funny how it started from FIFA clips
Used to pay for the games, now the games pay me
Oh, your girl got you FIFA? Well, I got mine for free
At the same time providing for my family
We're controlling the game like Nintendo Wii
Controlling the game is just what we do
Started off with nothing, you could do it too
Long days at the Uni, couldn't see it through
Had to ask myself, "Could you be a better you?"
Now I'm standing right here as a better me
Looking back on all my time in University
Made a tough decision, but it set me free
Reaping all the benefits, yeah it's there to see
Reaping all the benefits, we get the checks
We don't just earn money fam, we earn respect
And what you see is what you get with us
Calm and calculated, not impetuous
Come from a good home, taught to be humble
Mama always told me, "Gotta get up if you stumble"
Never dropped the ball so I'm never gonna fumble
Always liked the pressure, so I've never thought to crumble
Never thought to crumble, always liked the pressure
Going for gold like I'm diggin' for some treasure
Passion for my craft isn't something you can measure
Music's a hobby man, I do it for my pleasure
Destined for greatness
Back in school days I was known for my lateness
Always wanted more, wouldn't ever try to take less
Always been a real guy, never liked the fakeness
Never liked the fakeness, always kept it real though
Back to back on the track with my lil' bro
Keep our heads high, but we work with our heads low
Destined for greatness, it was known from the get-go
This world won't tear me down
It's I who wear the crown
They hate to see me now
There's greatness all around
