Destined for greatness
Verse 1:
Day to day, uh night to night uh
I refuse to stop fighting this fight
And..If one man can set the world on fire
Then you better hope that one man is not a liar
What does it mean to be influential?
Do you gotta be a rich man with nice credentials?
Nah
Cuz every man is born on to this Earth
To do something distinctive that was destined from birth
And if he doesn't do it then it won't ever be done
Sometimes I feel like im the chosen one
Because I know that I can thrive
Beyond my nine to five
I gotta to change the world that's the reason I'm alive
But I can't ever forget what uncle Ben said
Cuz some people use their power for bad instead
Of good. Even tho they should,
Make the world a better place I'd do it if I could I swear
I hear Malcolm, I hear Martin.
Doing great things but I'm only just startin
Cause like the king I have my own dreams
And yes they're bigger than affording a nice pair nice jeans
I take my haters and blow em to smithereens
but never let my ego blind me like high beams
This world is crazy but nothing is as it seems and I'm destined for that greatness I'm talking heroes and kings
Chorus:
You won't ever bring me down
Cuz I'm destined for greatness
You won't ever bring me down
You wont stop me now cuz im heading for the crown
Yea I'm destined for greatness
Verse 2:
Yea so you know I won't stop
I'll keep on fighting until I reach the top
I'm not afraid to fail cuz I know I won't flop
not accidental, got potnential, presidential like Barack
Uh
I'm not concerned with the money or the fame
I gotta change the world I can I feel it my veins
I know I can
But I don't know how
I just wanna make my father proud
Be an example for my kids and my kids kids
So they know their possibilities are limitless
And when you have the greatness mentality
That's when your dreams start to become a reality
Chorus:

Verse1:
D-money just changed everything
Who knew he had such an elegant flow?
Watch em spit never quit
Watch his confidence grow
I just started but don't think that you're stopping this though
I'm the cream of the crop to the top I must go
yea
Because greatness is my vision
I know im gonna make it just call it a premonition
I dont know all the secrets I'm trusting my intuition
I just hope this music overcomes your apprehension
yea I'm doing better than they all guessed
I know that I got it and the rest of y'all will know next
One day this music and these song will return checks
So I'm working full speed no rest
That's why I'm setting all my goals high
I know who I am and I known that I'm a good guy
I'm about to open up my wings and fly
now I'm aiming for the sky
Fireworks
Chorus:
Today it begins. I've missed it before, but wont miss them again
I keep having the same, the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means...
Verse 2:
I am not the perfect man. Baby take a look at me
I always seem to have these women cast and put their hook in me
4 years have past since you were standing on the roof with me
On the tallest building in the city
You just looked so pretty
It was july 4th fireworks in the sky
But i only saw the sparks between you and I
Under the blanket snuggled close I was kind of shy
I knew that you were something special so I had to try
Man I was in total bliss
And I'll never forget it baby what an experience
I thought you were the one (I guess) it wasn't that serious
I don't know where you are but I hope that you hearin this
That felt good
Could've it worked out? The answer's probably no
What we had was real
I never thought I'd see it go
Yea. Life isn't life if it never hurts
So now im really going off
Fireworks
Chorus-
Verse 3:
Thinking of my parents and I'm worried bout em
And im scared cuz i just cant picture life without em
They always struggle but
they don't make a show about it
I asked my dad if he'll retire and he said I doubt it
Uh Have you ever lost somebody that you love?
I wonder what will happen when my own time is up
Last year I lost some people that were close to me
But I just hid it hoping that nobody noticed me
But Ive decided to control my own destiny
I took my thoughts and laid it on this record so that y'all could see
And to the haters making fun of my complexion
Just know that I am black enough to handle your objections
They just want me to stop but I don't care if I'm accepted..
Cuz I don't plan on stopping until I reach that perfection
Yea I think it's better if I let you know
That D-Money bout to blow fireworks

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I've been every where
I've been looking for you babe
Search the whole world and I
Double back twice
Just to end up in the same damn place
Trying to find the one can hold me down
Looking for the girl that can where the crown
Climb every mountain search every peak
Looking for the one is like hide and seek
Are you hiding from me?
feels like I'm just right behind you
You can run baby but you cant hide
Cuz like Antwon Dawson we gone find you
Cuz in today's world
It's hard to find one that you can spend your life with
Easy to find ones you can spend the night with
but I just wanna end up with the right chick
Cuz most girls want a big house big Rocks big checks big vacations
I want one that's independent
She wanna go France and its me she take with
Yea she got her own
That's why I got a seat for her own the throne
Mom and dad loved her when I took her home
And she even make me smile when we on the phone
her shit together but she likes to have fun-
Graduated from her class like number one
Summa cum laude
Then hit the party
Then go to work with the party done
Uh and her soul is free
And she do everything for Big Daddy D
She work that twerk that
Damn she fine too
Ooh baby girl ima come and find you!
Chorus: x2
(Are you hiding from me yea?)
Where have you been all my...?
(Are you hiding from me yea?)
Where have you been all my...?
(Are you hiding from me yea?)
Where have you been all my...?
(Are you hiding from me yea?)
Ready or not, cause here I come!
Verse 2:
I just met you
And yea I know this is kind of crazy
I really want you to be my lady
Your body like B so make me your jay-z
Be my wife
Where have you been all my life?
meet me at the altar with your white dress
We aint getting younger lets do this
and I won't let you down girl
I promise to give you all I have
And I'll stick wit you through the good and the bad
And I'll never do anything to make you sad
Uh yea Ive made mistakes
Couple ex girlfriends weren't so great
But all them got NOTHiN on you
They don't smile at me Like you do
girl your style is crazy
Love a bad girl dressed like a lady
Long hair don't care
I'm truth she dare
Everything about you girl amaze me
our love can stand through all the tests
Through dumb fights
Even Long distance
300 miles won't make a difference
It's all gravy all I need is persistence
Just know this
I love you
You love me
If This is true
That's all I need
And nothing else even means a thing
I'm so impressed by the things you do
Your smart funny and sexy too
Just got one thing left to do
Say
I'm so I'm so proud a you Aaah!
chorus
Outro:
You see I'm just looking for that one

But just know that uh, I'm coming for you

Verse 1:
Look I just want to fit in
Like the pieces of a puzzle
I just wanna be popular
Break out of this bubble
Picture me as a kid back in middle school
When I just wanted to be known as a kid whose cool
But no love for the nerdy little black guy
Acts white real nice but he's kinda shy
Never got less than As in his grade book
But with the cool kids never got a second look
I joined the track team so i ran a couple of laps
Now I'm running in the booth with couple raps
I always knew that one day
i would rise and make it mine
i just needed some help to find that switch to make my swagger shine
Im Popular
Chorus:
Yea and they'll call me celebrity
I'll be famous for my music and my Melodies
Yea ill have the money and the fame
And everywhere I go people saying my name: D
Yea and ill get standing ovations
I want the world to see me as source of inspiration
Could it be that this life was meant for me?
Well just turn me up and I guess we'll wait and see D$
Verse 2:
Ok
Now I'm in high school gettin all the honeys
It's hard to keep my grades up when the girls is tryna love me
I started acting and I found out I was pretty tight
What can I say I was born for the limelight
The girls love me cuz I started lifting weights
Made the football team and I got plenty of dates
It's funny how I went from jv to varsity
Now all the sudden all the ladies want to talk to me
But I'm still the same nerdy kid on the honors list
Im tryin go to collge on a full scholarship
Cuz my parents couldn't pay for my degree
So what? I found a way to make the school pay me
Yep
but i learned that i was cool on my own
I Got my own swag I don't need to get it loaned
Cuz Now the Prom queen is like the teen mom queen and I'm just spitting fire in the booth while they all scream I'm popular
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Now I'm in college and I'm out here tryna make it but I only spit that real because I could never fake it
There's a crown I'm tryna take it
But it's hard when girls are naked I just want be so popular then I'll reach that greatness
Ahh
In tryin touch someone be somebody's idol
When they're down and out I can be revival
But this rap game is sorta like a trap game
Cuz if you talkin hoes then you just lame
But I don't care cuz I do it for my family and for the people that I know is always there for me
Cuz while these other haters out here tryna chase those girls
I'm out here chasing dreams so that I can change the world
And if I do it man these haters gettin nothin
Don't be looking mad cuz I got swag and I'm something
And If I fail it don't matter I can take it cuz to the people that I love man I already made it
Man I'm popular
Chorus x 2:
outro:
Hey man, you're cool on your own
You as cool as you wanna be
you know? Just be you.

Verse 2:
Cheese bread lettuce my dreams look a subway
Hungry for the money I know ima get it some day
My days are filled with darkness so I'm praying for a Sunday
Gonne get my momma a Benz man bump driving Hyundai
Warfare man we killing each other
Slitting each others throats when we should really be brothers
But the more I open up the more I get hurt
But speaking on it doesn't help in fact it makes that shit worse --
Like i had some people that I thought I could trust
But they left when times were hard now I'm standing in dust
Holding steady legs like spaghetti
So paranoid that all of my friends gonna forget me
Ok

Oh yea

Keep your couch, keep your futon, keep your friends, man I've moved on

Intro:
Yea man
I feel this one in my soul
Woo!
Verse 1:
And I don't even know where to begin
Spilling my emotions with the ink that's from this pen
Should I tell em how I'm feelin or should I just hold it all in?
I'm feelin like all my enemies consist of former friends
But my missions pure So for sure gotta win
I justified my means and then I justified my ends
...Came from nothing but I gained a little something
I ain't fronting when I say I'm gonna get my mom a Benz
I was
15 when I started to rap
But ain't let nobody hear em
Cuz they'd think that it's wack
Little did they know that this dude was bout to blow
The Same ones that diss you want a ticket to your show
Looking for something that can set me apart
A gateway for expression so my music is art-
Use the mic to paint my songs with these words like Michelangelo
deaf to all the haters. yea I'm
Vincent call me Van Goh
It's weird. All the sudden people diss me
just want to make amends but I swear that they never missed me
My momma told me
don't even worry because they jealous
So I just keep on rappin don't care what nobody tells us
See
I'm just trying to make my dreams come true
Be somebody that worked hard and then found a way through-
I guess when you tryna make it then some people gonna hate you
You just gotta make the money but don't let the money make you
Chorus:
And I know one day I'll see the light
And all these places all these faces
All these dreams that I've been chasing
Oh oh oh
And You know...yes You know!
One day I will reach that greatness
Verse 2:
I sweat greatness watch my skin glisten
Grateful for the chance to be here in this position
They like why u making music if nobody gonna listen?
I'm like why you gotta hate when people don't give you attention?
All I need is a single believer
To turn me from a loser to an over achiever
Hip hop is not dead it just need some stimulation
I'm a breath of fresh air. The fresh prince. A new heir
I tried to tell you i don't do this for myself
Im Not the kind of person to sit on a bunch of wealth
But cash moves everything around me
So I move around until only cash surrounds me
Proudly
I stand up; my lyrics motivational
..Destined for greatness man I swear I'm sensational
Inspirational
transformational
Outa this world man ima go outer space on em
My scholarship sometime make me feel guilty
My Sister buried in loans ...
And Like how I got a car and she don't even got a liscene
But I know that she strong
Look
I Gotta do it i promise I'm gonna make it
Don't worry bout the doubters I promise that I can take it
I told you...I don't do it for me
You coming with me so I do this for we
Chorus:
And I know one day I'll see the light
And all these places all these faces
All these dreams that I've been chasing
Oh oh oh
And You know...yea You know!
One day I will reach that greatness
And I know one day I'll see the light
And all these places all these faces
All these dreams that I've been chasing
Oh oh oh
And I know...yes I know I know
One day I will Reach that greatness
Greatness, greatness
I'm destined for greatness
Greatness
Yea
Woah oh oh
Whoah oh oh
