Twitter just changed this man's life forever.

Stormzy has agreed to work with an unknown aspiring rapper after Teks Sinatra's tweet about lying to his mum about having a song with the grime star went viral.

I'm sorry that I'm late
And I missed your call
But you know night turn into day
I didn't stop to pause
I know I never see your face
And baby, that's my fault
But I'ma fix all my mistakes
So don't stress no more

You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush (alright)
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush (alright)
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush (alright)
You don't ever let me down

You don't ever let me down
Got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
All those other girls just look
They ain't never takin' your crown
And girl I know it gets on your nerves sometimes
When I don't answer my phone
And yeah I double back on my words at times
But please don't start with that tone, 'cause girl
I love you, you know, but I can't be there
But when I get home, just roll my weed, yeah
What's mine is yours, give you space to breathe here
Just weed and cush, that's a major key here
Yeah, then you play me a song
Smokin' smoke 'til we're wavy and gone
Come home from a long hard day with the dons
Like where's my baby? I'm sorry it's been long

I'm sorry that I'm late
And I missed your call
But you know night turn into day
I didn't stop to pause
I know I never see your face
And baby, that's my fault
But I'ma fix all my mistakes
So don't stress no more

You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down

As much as you think you're a thorn
In the way that you feel, I come home
Every day when it rains
But it's real
Between us, ground so far beneath us
Sometimes I can't read ya
But it don't mean I won't treat ya
To a blunt full of that reefer
We may get in fights
But I could never see me leavin'
Somethin' 'bout our [?] the high can bring us
Sober just don't please us
If you're wondering, yeah, I'm still here because I see us
But Mary makes it easy to talk to you
Aww, yeah
'Cause sometimes I just can't spill my thoughts to you
I took you in every day
At the end of every day I belong to you
Belong to you
I'll still pass the bong to you
I'll write a song to you
I'll do no wrong to you

I'm sorry that I'm late
And I missed your call
But you know night turn into day
I didn't stop to pause
I know I never see your face
And baby, that's my fault
But I'ma fix all my mistakes
So don't stress no more

You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
You got those cigarettes and cush
You don't ever let me down
I promise

You don't ever let me down
I won't ever let you down
'Cause you don't ever let me down
I won't ever let you down
'Cause you don't ever let me down
I can't ever let you down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

It's been like a month now
Since you left my side
Got me smokin' a blunt now
But there ain't no vibe
'Cause I fucked up badly
All I did was push
Now there's no more weed
No more cush
And I'm deep in the south side
And I can't find love
I was lookin' for my brown skin
Tryna find that buzz
Now what have you done, Stormz?
Now what have you caused?
And we weren't just bredrens
We were so much more
Girl you was my hero
The beat to my heart
And them tears on your face
Man they tear me apart
Man I just wanna fix you
Fix what I broke
No covers on the sofa
No more smoke
And I pray God saves you
Man I pray all night
I just wanna say thank you
'Cause you saved my life
But I cut you deep
And I know how it looks
Now there's no more weed
No more cush
No more cush
No more cush, yeah
Now there's no more cush
No more cush

The South London rapper's tweet - "Told my mum I got a tune with Stormzy on the way. Lord forgive the lie, I just needed her to take my rap career seriously" - was retweeted thousands of times before catching Stormzy's attention.

After seeing the hilarious tweet, he made Teks' dreams come true by replying "You know what fuck it" and asking him to send a song his way.

Told my mum I got a tune with Stormzy on the way. Lord forgive the lie, I just needed her to take my rap career seriously

— Sinatra. (@Teks_Sinatra) October 23, 2017

Obviously stunned that grime's biggest star responded and simultaneously put his name out to over one million followers, Teks later tweeted "Life comes at you fast."

While we wait to see if anything comes to fruition from the DMs, there's three years' worth of music on Teks' SoundCloud, including the most recent addition 'Do Not Disturb'.

Lesson learned: always lie to your parents and always tweet your faves.

Who knows, maybe I'll be dancing on Rihanna's next tour...

Hold up, no you didn't bow, bow
I ain't the chick to walk behind you around town
Just cause you're packin', packin', whoop, down south
That don't mean I'm ever gonna take it laying down, baby

Oh, I'm a machine when I do it
I'll be catching fire, gasoline when I do it
Just cause you're packin', packin', whoop, down south
That don't mean I'm ever gonna take it laying down, baby

You're the man, but I got the, I got the, I got the power
You make rain, but I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it shower
You should know, I'm the one who's in control
I'll let you come take the wheel, as long as you don't forget

Who got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
Hold up!

My turn

I make this look easy, tick tick boom like gasoline-y
Yeah, they call me Lamborghini, 'cause I know just what I'm worth
Zero to hundred, b-b-body make' em stutter
Start my engine, push the button, 'cause I'm gon' be coming first

Oh, I'm a machine when I do it
I'll be catching fire, gasoline when I do it
Just cause you're packin', packin', whoop, down south
That don't mean I'm ever gonna take it laying down, baby

You're the man, but I got the, I got the, I got the power
You make rain, but I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it shower
You should know, I'm the one who's in control
I'll let you come take the wheel, as long as you don't forget

Who got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the
Who got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the
Hold up!

When them boys talk loose and tell you power's for a king (huh?)
You just play it cool and tell 'em power's not a thing (what?)
You look him in the eye and say, "I know I'm not a guy
But see there's power in my losses and there's power in my wins"
Independent woman, look to shower in your Bimms
They call me cocoa but I'm mad, you can't be powderin' my skin
And you don't need to spend another hour in the gym
You know I'm blinded by his grace but when you found me I was dim

And we'll be countin' down the years, yeah I'm about this
All them dirty secrets that we share, I'll clear the browsers
We the type to build on our careers and share the houses
You can be a woman and a boss and wear the trousers at the same time
You should know
That I ain't never lettin' go
But as long as I'm alive, then I'll be sponsorin' your pride
You know there's power in a couple, let me compliment your vibe, yo

You're the man, but I got the, I got the, I got the power
You make rain, but I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it shower
You should know, I'm the one who's in control
I'll let you come take the wheel, as long as you don't forget

I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
Cause I got, I got, I got the power
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
I got the, I got the power
Baby don't forget I got the power, yeah
The power, yeah, yeah-eh

Motorbike, motorbike, motorbike, motorbike
Bike, bike, bike, bike
Bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, whoop
