Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The strong, the mighty, the forces of evil can never destroy
The powers of the Wonderman
And though the most formidable journey lies ahead
Only one will prevail
Wonder, Wonder, Wonderman
[Verse 2]
Uh, yeah, theses haters couldn't get to where I am
With a full tank of petrol
My uncle use to drink can of Kestrel when life got stressful
Uh, what kind of pressures did you be
When you wanna make people except you
Uh, what does it really mean
When you dream of being famous and successful
When you were born to be special, uh, yeah
And I went from the kid in class
Texting radio DJ's so they could big me up
To the young rapper everybody's ringing up
Girl, I'm looking for a sprinkling of pixy dust
Mad thoughts through my head when it's blowing up
Like, are you really big enough?
I traded friends for fans
Cement for sand
Raise your hand
The Wonderman
[Verse 3]
I see the bright lights shine in your face
Oh, we're counting on you to take it all away
I saw the chosen one
They're calling your name
The Wonderman?
[Verse 4]
Bored of being nameless
Bored of feeling local when you wake up in the mall and
Can't afford a pair of trainers
Imagine when it changes
Imagine satisfaction when you make it
There's more to being famous
More than the applause and more than any form of status
More than the performances in twenty foreign places
Benidorm, Vegas, many more praises
Amen, hallelujah, Tinie look what's happened to you
Yeah they love the attitude
Brand new and improved
Yeah, and when the fans start grabbing you
Show gratitude with a little bragging too
Amen, hallelujah, Tinie look what's happened to you
Who can say they rap, through the obstacles I ran look
I traded friends for fans
Cement for sand
Raise your hands
The Wonderman
[Verse 5]
I see the bright lights shine in your face
I'm counting on you to take it all away
I saw the chosen one
They're calling your name
The Wonderman?
[Verse 6]
Come on, come on
The stars are where you belong
Come on, follow
Your heart is gonna take you home
Come on, come on
The stars are where you belong
There's no turning back from here
[Verse 7]
Can you see the bright lights shine in your face?
I'm counting on you to take it all away
I saw the chosen one
They're calling your name
The Wonderman?
From this day on the world will never be the same
