script.Parent.MouseEnter:connect(OnOver())
script.Parent.MouseLeave:connect(OffOver())

you forgot to connect the events to the functions

You don't call the functions passed as the argument for the connect method. ScriptGuider 5640 — 8y

Problem:

Simple mistake; you're simply forgetting the connect method that's required to bind functions with events. This method is called from the event of the object, and the argument passed through the method is the function that will execute whenever the event is triggered.

Fix:

local text = script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel

local function OnOver()
    text.Text = "random text"
end

local function OffOver()
    text.Text = "random text2"
end

-- Calling the "connect" method on the events, and passing the function as the argument.
script.Parent.MouseEnter:connect(OnOver)
script.Parent.MouseLeave:connect(OffOver)

Hope this helped.
