According to the Pass Out Songfacts, Okogwu came up with his stage name at the age of 13. He looked up 'anger' in the thesaurus and found himself staring at 'temper.' Concerned it might be overly aggresive he added 'Tinie.'
Tinie Tempah first gained recognition in the underground music scene with the track Wifey, taken from his first official mixtape Hood Econ%mics Room 147: The 80 Minute Course. Upon it's release, the track became an instant smash, holding the Channel U urban chart top spot for 10 consecutive weeks. Established artists within the Grime scene including Bashy and Chipmunk featured on the mixtape. In 2009 Tinie Tempah released his second official mixtape Sexy Beast: Volume 1.
In October 2009 Tinie Tempah announced a record deal with EMI/Parlophone. He released his debut album on the label, disc-overy, on October 4th 2010. The album spawned six consecutive top 20 singles in the UK including number ones pass out and written in the stars, and swedish house mafia collaborative single miami 2 ibiza.

Tinie Tempah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I grew tired of the same, then one night
Packed my things, told the one I love
I'll be back one day
Through the fight, through the pain
Booked a flight, took a plane
Told her not to cry
I'll be back one day
Been dreaming this since I was young
So baby girl I'll be going til I'm gone (gone)
Til I'm gone (gone)
Til I'm gone (gone)
I buy time in switzerland
I drive round in monaco
I shook hands with royalty
I make songs that monarchs know
Ti ti ti la so fa?
Mi mi mi ra do?
Call me aloe blacc 'cause I need that dollar yo
Ha ha
Hic-hic-hiccup
Blame it on the liquor
I came through like a stick up
Now I'm ballin' like a kick up
I be cutting off these bitches like an episode of nip tuck
And yes I am the best man, I'm so sorry bout the mix up
Come out and play, pour out another bottle
Lets do it all today and worry bout it all tomorrow
I do it for the thrill
You know I love the rush
And once you get me going I can never get enough
I grew tired of the same, then one night
Packed my things, told the one I love
I'll be back one day
Through the fight, through the pain
Booked a flight, took a plane
Told her not to cry
I'll be back one day
Been dreaming this since I was young
So baby girl I'll be going til I'm gone (gone)
Til I'm gone (gone)
Til I'm gone
But I wont be gone for too long
In Amsterdam, and Milan
Just came off Aussie tour
You've never seen this thing before?
I'm the one like 2 plus 3
M-m-m-minus four
Fe-fe-fe-fi-fo-fum
Every time that I climb a stalk
Yeah, yeah, I'm honest I landed in a rocket
With a crown inside my watch and silver peace sign on my bonnet
You don't need a thermometer to tell you who's the hottest
Ip dip do muthafucker you are not it
Come out and play, pour out another bottle
Lets do it all today and worry bout it all tomorrow
I do it for the thrill
You know I love the rush
And once you get me going I can never get enough
[Chorus]
OK I'm in it, I'm in it to the finish
I keep them bottles coming like my card ain't got no limit
Got some friends that playing football
And some friends that playing cricket
And a mistress that is fine like a fucking parking ticket
Ha ha
I said I'm in it, I'm in it til the finish
I keep them bottles coming til there ain't nothing in it
I'm like Mario on mushrooms
I'm like Popeye on some spinach
We gon' keep it coming till I no speaka no English
Ah
[Chorus]
In this song, Tinie Tempah ft. Wiz Khalifa, the lyrics suggest that they are living their dreams and living their lives to the fullest. The chorus in the song seems to be addressed to a lover that Tinie has left behind for a while as he pursues his dreams. Tinie tells his lover that he will be back one day and that he is making a journey through the fight and the pain. At the same time, he talks about how he has been dreaming this life since he was young and how he is going until he can no longer pursue his dreams. Tinie Tempah appears to be living a life of luxury in which he travels, spends his time in Switzerland and drives around in Monaco. The lyrics go on to describe how Tinie met the Queen of England and how his music is known to royalty. He makes a reference to needing that dollar and how he has ended up with a lot of success in his life.
Wiz Khalifa, on the other hand, puts his own spin on the idea of living the dream. He describes going to Amsterdam and Milan, just came off an Australian tour, and suggests that he is the hottest thing around. He is a "one like 2 plus 3" type of person, and every time he climbs a stalk, he lands in a rocket with a crown inside his watch and a silver peace sign on his bonnet. Wiz is in it until the end, always continuing with the alcohol and partying lifestyle. The lyrics suggest that he has no limits and that his life is as smooth and fine as a parking ticket. Overall, the song is about living your dreams, pursuing your passions, and living your life to the fullest.

lets analyse the nonsense /lies many amongst you believe in:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for to deceive) - you havnยดt searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal.)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ainยดt humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids.
Lie: holidays (xmas, halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
10 lies, should i go on?
