Tobi & Manny
Destined For Greatness
[Intro: Janellé]
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
[Chorus: Manny & Tobi]
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 a 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
[Verse 1: Manny & Tobi]
Known from the get-go, written in the stars
Pullin' all the strings like we're playin' on guitars
Put in all the work so we know it's really ours
And now we whip it 'round in matchin' cars
Now we roll around in matchin' whips
If we wanna go abroad, we just pay for trips
But it's not by chance, ain't talkin' lucky dips
Just kinda funny how it started from FIFA clips
[Verse 2: Tobi & Manny]
Used to pay for the games, now the games pay me
Oh, your girl got you FIFA? I got mine for free
At the same time providin' for my family
We're controllin' the game like Nintendo Wii
Controllin' the game, it's 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?"
[Verse 3: Manny & Tobi]
Now I'm standin' right here as a better me
Lookin' back on all my time at university
Made a tough decision but it set me free
Reapin' all the benefits, yeah, it's there to see
Reapin' 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
Momma 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
Goin' 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
[Chorus: Manny, Tobi & Janellé]
Destined for greatness (Uh)
Back in school days I was known for my lateness
Always wanted more, wouldn't ever try to take less (Ever try to, ever try to)
Always been a real guy, never liked the fakeness
Never liked the fakeness, always kept it real though (Uh)
Back to back on a 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
[Outro: Tobi & Janellé]
It was known from the get-go (This world won't tear me down)
It was known from the get-go
It was known from the get-go (It's I who wears the crown)
Destined for greatness, it was known from the get-go
It was known from the get-go (They hate to see me now)
It was known from the get-go
It was known from the get-go (There's greatness all around)
Destined for greatness, it was known from the get-go
