Billionaire
Travie McCoyMcCoy told MTV News about the song's meaning: "It's me talking about what would happen if I would somehow manage to become a billionaire. What would I do with the money?" he explained. "Don't get it wrong, I'm far from a billionaire. I think I just made it out the 'thousandaire' category. So it's about what I would do with the money and, the same time, it opens up the question, if you were in a position to do something with a decent chunk of money, what would you do?"
I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, yeah
A different city every night, oh I
I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of everyday Christmas
Give Travie your wish list
I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And 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 their last wish
It's been a couple months
that I've been single so
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
Ha ha get it?
I'd probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than fema did
Yeah, can't forget about me, stupid
Everywhere I go, Imma have my own theme music
Oh every time I close my eyes
(what you see what you see brah?)
I see my name in shining lights
(uhuh uhuh yeah what else?)
A different city every night, oh I
I swear the world better prepare (for what?)
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
I'll be playing basketball with the President
dunking on his delegates
Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette
toss a couple milli in the air
just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twenties,
tens and bens completely separate
And yeah I'll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I'll probably 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
Eating good, sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket, pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing
I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad
(so bad)
Buy all of the things I never had
(buy everything ha ha)
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
(what up Oprah)
Oh every time I close my eyes
(what ya see, what you see brah?)
I see my name in shining lights
(uh huh, uh huh, what else?)
A different city every night, oh I
I swear the world better prepare (for what?)
For when I'm a billionaire (yeah, sing it)
Oh oooh oh oooh when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad!
