| Babe, I get it, you know I get it, I get it
|
| But you gotta understand I’m trying to be famous
|
| Like I know, I know we’ll have time to chill, to hang out
|
| I promise I’ll love you as best as I can
|
| But I need to do this for us right now, okay
|
| I need this, we need this, just wait
|
| If I could fly, I would show you the world
|
| If I had a million dollars, I would buy you those pearls
|
| But I don’t have a dollar in my pocket so here’s a locket
|
| I bought it at Walmart, I hope that you like it
|
| I picked up a night shift to get you this nice gift
|
| Hoping it might lift the cloud over your head that won’t let any light in
|
| I know how dark the night gets but I’ll be your sidekick
|
| Hold my hand and walk with me, I’m keeping a tight grip
|
| It doesn’t shine like it’s supposed to
|
| But I promise one day, I’ll buy the biggest rock on the planet
|
| And the whole coast too just so we can tan and
|
| This moment is only a fragment
|
| Cause what I have planned is bigger than you can ever imagine
|
| Cause baby, I swear, we’ll be rich in the mansion
|
| With our very own butler like Batman, the Bruce Wayne
|
| Just you wait when ten grand is loose change
|
| I know we’ll make it through
|
| Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you
|
| Wait till the day my bank is full
|
| And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true
|
| I’ll be famous soon
|
| I know that we’re struggling right now to make ends meet
|
| We’re a light year away from wealthy, riding on this ten speed
|
| My bank account is empty, it tempts me
|
| To rob a bank, but if I get caught and cops arrest me, I’m dead meat!
|
| The rents due on the first, I can’t pay the next fee
|
| I’m surprised you haven’t found another guy and left me
|
| Imagining this Chrysler as a frigging Bentley
|
| But that’s not what her friends see
|
| I know you wanna be set free
|
| But please baby, don’t stress me
|
| In less than a year we’ll be stress free
|
| Wining and dining with red meat
|
| A house on the wet beach next to a boat with a couple jet skis
|
| Cause that’s what you deserve, I hate it when she’s hurt
|
| And nothing to wear so I lend her my t-shirt
|
| I do what I can do to keep you intact, boo
|
| Just stick with me baby, you’re the ink to my tattoo
|
| I know we’ll make it through
|
| Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you
|
| Wait till the day my bank is full
|
| And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true
|
| I’ll be famous soon
|
| I’m tired of being broke, I know you hate it too
|
| We’ve held our breaths long enough, shit our face is blue
|
| I’ll be famous soon, I see you’re anxious too
|
| I’m depressed, I can’t fill a fucking plate with food
|
| The walls are caving in, I’m about to raise the roof
|
| And fuck this city, I swear we about to escape it too
|
| I need these DJ’s and stations to maybe play my tunes
|
| I chase this dream to give us a place with eighty rooms
|
| I’ve always wanted to be famous, some kinda entertainer
|
| Like oh Denace I love him, he entertains us
|
| But I don’t want fame to change us
|
| I just want the money to buy us things that no job we’ve ever had gave us
|
| You just have to be patient, success I can taste it
|
| I promise I’ll make it, just stop the complaining
|
| I’m in the studio, you’re stressing me out
|
| I’m trying to give us a better life, stop texting me now
|
| I know we’ll make it through
|
| Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you
|
| Wait till the day my bank is full
|
| And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true
|
| I’ll be famous soon
|
| Ten missed calls, three new texts
|
| She knows I’m at the studio recording these new tracks
|
| I’m trying to make a better future for the two of us
|
| And this Grammy nominated producer just came through for lunch
|
| Accidently heard my music from the other room
|
| And just went coo coo nuts, flipped the fuck out
|
| And told me I’m the best he’s heard
|
| The rest deserve the second spot, let’s be serious
|
| He offered me a deal on the spot
|
| A million dollars, holy shit am I dreaming or not?
|
| I believed in myself but still received as a shock
|
| Yesterday I didn’t have a place to pee in a pot
|
| Just got home to let her know we’ve beaten the odds
|
| But to my surprise there’s a note on the fridge that went something like this
|
| Dear Denace, I love you but I’ve given up
|
| I hope you sleep well with my blood on the million bucks
|
| I know we’ll make it through
|
| Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you
|
| Wait till the day my bank is full
|
| And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true
|
| I’ll be famous soon
|
| Walk into my room to find her lying there
|
| With a empty bottle on the nightstand and in her hand was a locket
|
| The one I got her around mid-March
|
| And inside was a picture of us surrounded by split hearts
|
| Damn, I guess you gotta be careful what you wish for |
