Wait till my money get long

Step aside, I feel so right
偶爾會想有some love
Wait till my money get long
Step aside, I feel so right
偶爾會想有some love
Verse:
Wait till my money get long
Wanna get all that I want
有太多購買慾望
Drip or drown 點樣先多
I needa finna get rich
呢一刻生日願望
I can get what i don't need
Count that cash 數好對接
Celebrate 每日過節
抹走我過去ge事
I don't need worry about shit
想有幾多個 bish
就會有幾多個 bish
Wanna be a billionaire
Wanna be a billionaire

Wanna be a billionaire
Wanna be a billionaire

In B.o.B's song "Billionaire", the hook is primarily about the desire for wealth, as the singer claims that he will feel "so right" once his money gets long. The phrase "對與錯, don't bring it up" means "right or wrong, don't bring it up", which suggests that the pursuit of money is not a topic that should be questioned or criticized. Additionally, the line "偶爾會想有some love" translates to "sometimes I want some love", indicating that despite the focus on material wealth, the singer does recognize the value of emotional connection.
In the first verse of the song, B.o.B expresses his longing to have all the things he desires, as well as a desire to get rich. The line "Drip or drown 點樣先多" is a Cantonese phrase that essentially means "how can I get more than what I have now?" He also talks about counting his cash and celebrating every day like it's a holiday, further emphasizing his desire for wealth. B.o.B then states that he does not need to worry about anything and that the number of "bish" (a slang term for women) he has will correspond to the amount of money he has.
In the second verse, B.o.B thinks about what he can do for his mother once he has money, such as buying her a new home and jewelry. He then reiterates his desire for fame and money, saying "life is all about fame and money, I'm with it". The overall message of the song is that the pursuit of wealth should be the top priority of one's life, as it will bring happiness and success.

LYRICS
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 alright
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 alright
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 for when I'm a billionaire
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 racket
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, (watch 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
Oh oooh oh oooh when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad!
