Billionaire Lyrics

I wana be a billionaire
So freakin Bad
Buy all the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the queen
Ohh everytime I close my eyes.
I see my name in shinning lights
A different city every night
Oh I, I swear the world better prepare
For when im a billionaire

verse 1

I would have a show like oprah
I would be the host of
everyday christmas
Give travvie ya wish list
I probably pull a angelina and brad pitt
adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had shit
give away a few mercedes like
here lady have this
and last but not least
grant somebody they last wish
its been a couple months that i been single so
you can call me travvie claus minus the ho ho
get it i probably visit where katrina hit
and damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
yeah and cant forgot about me stupid
everywhere i go ima have my own theme music


Ohh everytime I close my eyes.
(whatcha see whatcha see?)
I see my name in shinning lights
(A huh A huh)
A different city every night
Oh I, I swear the world better prepare
For when im a billionaire

I’d be playin basketball with the president
dunkin on his delegates
then I’d compliment him on his
political etiquite (good job)
toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
and keep the 5 20’s 10’s and bens completely separate
yeah id be in a whole new tax bracket
we in recession but let me take a crack at it
id prob take whatever’s left and just split it up
so everybody that i love can have a couple bucks
and not a single tummy around me
would know what hungry was
eatin good sleepin soundly
i know we all have a similar dream
go in ya pocket pull out ya wallet
put it in the air and sing

I wana be a billionaire
So freakin Bad
Buy all the things I never had
(Buy everything)
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the queen
(Whaddup Oprah)
Ohh everytime I close my eyes.
(Watcha see? Watcha see?)
I see my name in shinning lights
A different city every night
Oh I, I swear the world better prepare
For when im a billionaire

I wanna be a billionaire
So freakin bad

This is actually a pretty smart commentary on recent events and the disappointment and frustration with Bush followed by Obama:

The lines about Fema and then the reference to playing basketball with Obama and his better etiquette followed by "toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it" and keeping the different denominations of money separate - a reference to the stimulus that didn't seem to have a coherent focus and giving big money to some (banks) and peanuts to everyone else.

But when he talks about what HE would do, it's totally different. 1) he would visit where Katrina hit and actually help the people. He would take his money and adopt kids that don't have shit, fulfill someone's last wish, divide it up among his friends, and make sure no one goes hungry - exactly what people DON'T do when they have money but what they should do. In other words, focus on people and not himself. He's pointing out hypocrisy with the self-absorption of the chorus, which is about putting himself in the limelight.

Awesome song! Has a bit of a message as well, even if it is a little unrealistic.

My Opinion

Birdie...you makin any music lately? If it takes one "bomb song" (in your opinion) to lose respect for an artist, then you must be a fairweather kind of human being...Although you may not respect the art, you should respect the artist. At least he is trying

Well i think birdie just got owned LOL!!! =)

Just a feel good song about all the good he would do if he was rich, not just the superficial magazine cover shoots.
