  • Yo, I got one or two on my list, let me tick em off
    Rochelle from the Saturdays, Pixie Lott
    Who would've thought I would've got this far
    And how on earth did his name brand get that large
    Cause I'm a fucking star, have you seen my car
    Holly Willoughby you can come around my bar
    I want it all no minimal, Tinchy the general
    Me and my brother Dappy that's cynical

    Oh, I was raised a survivor
    Now I'm getting bags of money, I get a fiver
    Riding my time so I'm living
    The 30 years that I was given, lifer

    You will always be my undercover lover
    Nothing like no other, lemme take you aboard
    A boat no dubber, nothing like my copper
    The pounds and the dollar
    Negative to positive no longer will I suffer

    Rah rah
    Mama thought I wouldn't make it
    But now she's living in a spaceship
    She says son I'm getting all the toll, the money buys everything
    Would you like a face lift?
    See I didn't know I would be able to afford all of these clothes
    Look at where we are
    Now that's what happens when you make it

    Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh

    Yeah, I'm the shit round here
    Used to chill up on the block with the bitch down stairs
    I was always tryna get a little kiss of her
    Now she's screaming, begging me, grip my hair
    Uh, ever since I made it, vision never faded
    Thanks to my right hand man Dirk David
    He was like Tinch, maintainin' round this shit and never get constipated
    Money ain't a thing forever doubling
    But without the fans I wouldn't have been anything
    Screaming strides forever loving him
    And I ain't even bought a ring

    You will always be my undercover lover
    Nothing like no other, lemme take you aboard
    A boat no dubber, nothing like my copper
    The pounds and the dollar
    Negative to positive no longer will I suffer

    Rah rah
    Mama thought I wouldn't make it
    But now she's living in a spaceship
    She says son I'm getting all the toll, the money buys everything
    Would you like a face lift?
    See I didn't know I would be able to afford all of these clothes
    Look at where we are
    Now that's what happens when you make it

    Yo, I used to think why am I this poor
    And now I can have anything I used to wish for
    If I lost it all to something I would have to cry for
    Oh-wow, further more I'd have to die for, oh-wow
    Yo, I used to think why am I this poor
    And now I can have anything I used to wish for
    If I lost it all to something I would have to cry for
    Oh-wow, further more I'd have to die for, oh-wow,

    Pull up in the keyhole, following the plan
    Fresh from the mother land,
    See I do it for the seat and I do it for the stands
    Now lemme see your hands
    Lemme introduce to the band, and I'm the main man
    Building up my following, whole of it with fans
    Believe I really can, now I'm looking for my number 1 fan like stunnah, uh huh

    If only I could tell you how much you've changed my life
    See I do it for the seats and I do it for the stands
    Now lemme see your hands
    I couldn't have done this without all of you here tonight
    See I do it for the seats and I do it for the stands
    Now lemme see your hands

    Mama thought I wouldn't make it
    But now she's living in a spaceship
    She says son I'm getting all the toll, the money buys everything
    Would you like a face lift?
    See I didn't know I would be able to afford all of these clothes
    Look at where we are
    Now that's what happens when you make it

    Yo, I used to think why am I this poor
    And now I can have anything I used to wish for
    If I lost it all to something I would have to cry for
    Oh-wow, further more I'd have to die for, oh-wow
    Yo, I used to think why am I this poor
    And now I can have anything I used to wish for
    If I lost it all to something I would have to cry for
    Oh-wow, further more I'd have to die for, oh-wow Writer/s: ALESSANDRO BENASSI, ALLAN PINEDA, JEAN BAPTIST KOUAME, KELIS ROGERS, MARCO BENASSI, MICHAEL MCHENRY
