  • The strong, the mighty
    The forces of evil can never destroy
    The power of the Wonderman
    And though the most formidable journey lies ahead
    Only one will prevail
    Wonder, Wonder, Wonderman

    These haters couldn't get to where I am with a full tank of petrol, uh
    My uncle used to drink a can of kestrel when life got stressful, uh
    What kinda person should you be when wanna make people accept 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
    Text some radio DJs so they could bring me up
    To the young rapper everybody's ringing up
    Got em looking for a sprinkle of that pixie dust

    Mad thoughts in my head when its blowin' up
    Like, are you really big enough?
    I traded friends for fans, cement for sand
    Raise your hand the Wonderman

    See the bright lights shine in your face
    I'm counting on you to take it all away (the Wonderman)
    I saw the chosen one they're calling your name
    Are you you
    Are you you, the Wonderman

    Bored of being nameless
    Bored of feeling awkward
    When you walk up in the mall
    And cant afford a pair of trainers
    Imagine when it changes
    Imagine satisfaction when you make it

    Its more than being famous
    More then the applause and more than any form of status
    More than the performances in 20 foreign places
    Benidorm, Vegas, many more praises
    Amen hallelujah 'Tinie look what's happened to ya?
    Yeah they love that attitude brand new and improved, yeah

    And when the fans start grabbing you
    Show gratitude with a little brag or two
    Amen, hallelujah Tinie look what's happened to ya
    Who can say they ran through all the obstacles I ran, look
    I traded friends for fans, cement for sand
    Raise your hand, the Wonderman

    See the bright lights shine in your face
    I'm counting on you to take it all away (the Wonderman)
    I saw the chosen one they're calling your name
    Are you you
    Are you you, the Wonderman

    Come on come on the stars are where you belong
    Come on 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

    See the bright lights shine in your face
    I'm counting on you to take it all away (the Wonderman)
    I saw the chosen one they're calling your name
    Are you you
    Are you you, the Wonderman

    From this day on the world will never be the same Writer/s: MARC WILLIAMS, PATRICK OKOGWU, TIMOTHY MCKENZIE
