Lyrics

[Chorus]
Feel good
I ain't gonna lie to you
I don't know about you
In a prison or a hospital
[Verse 1]
Yeah, when I bicycle
My think them car sick
I remember when I used to hustle in the flats
And the neighbours then had no love for me
Switch it up now, everything blessed
Hit the stage with the girlie, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
When them rise up against me
Me look inna them eyes and say
Hey!
[PreChorus]
Destiny, can't touch my destiny
Them are try everything
Them are try take me life
But I won't let them get the best of me
[Chorus]
Destiny, can't touch my destiny
They can take everything I have
They can't take my life
They can't touch my destiny
Hey!
[Bridge]
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
[Verse 3]
You don't know man, I got's a talk
Man, I slice up your head like a barber does
Girlie, you no really, really wan stuck with us
'Cause we dangerous and hazardous, Skrr
[Verse 4]
Beep-beep, when I'm parking up
California weed, man are sparking up
Ah no send me enemies, them charging up
'Cause we never smile when dem try laugh with us
[Verse 5]
As a little youth, it was hard enough
'Cause them older guys, them were starving us
So me hustle till me start live marvellous
Roll deep like I'm driving a party bus
[Verse 6]
We was just a bunch of fucking foreigners
No one to trust, I know that they don't want me here
Came a long way from standing on the corridors
Talking feds and the coroners
Hey!
[PreChorus]
Destiny, can't touch my destiny
Them are try everything
Them are try take me life
But I won't let them get the best of me
[Chorus]
Destiny, can't touch my destiny
They can take everything I have
They can't take my life
They can't touch my destiny
Hey!
[Bridge]
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
[PreChorus]
Destiny, can't touch my destiny
Them are try everything
Them are try take me life
But I won't let them get the best of me
[Chorus]
Destiny, can't touch my destiny
They can take everything I have
They can't take my life
They can't touch my destiny
Hey!
[Outro]
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya, heya
